Hotel Marmolada

This was a bucket list trip and likely the best family vacation we have had. We stayed 7 nights in March / April 2025. Flew into and out of Venice, which was a 2.75 hour (beautiful) drive away from Venice airport. Some observations: 1) We stayed in a Bellerophon suite for 2 adults and 3 kids. This was tight but we only really slept in our rooms and we had so many other facilities for showers and relaxation and meals that we didn’t spend much time there. Balcony was wonderful for views and storage of empty suitcases and ski accessories. 2) Food was amazing and lots of options. We did a half board plan (breakfast and dinner included), which saved us loads of time researching restaurants and reservations so we could focus on family time together. We had our own designated table every breakfast and dinner that made things very familiar for our kids. They also made several accommodations for our kids who are admittedly picky eaters. (SIDE NOTE: We actually went to Hotel La Perla’s fancy restaurant one night and probably paid more for that dinner than what our dinners cost for the whole week at Hotel Marmolada. But we appreciated the food at Marmolada as much as the Michelin star place.) 3) Service was amazing. Francesco and Francesca and Iwan and Sonja made this place feel like we were guests in their home. Our kids actually got really attached to the team there and wanted to leave them thank you cards etc. Sad day to leave with all the relationships that were built in that week. Wine tasting with Iwan was icing on the cake. 4) Ski lockers and proximity to lifts were perfect. This is why we ultimately chose not to do Cortina or other Dolomites areas. SellaRonda is 100 yards away and options to walk downhill to slopes and then finish above the resort on other inside so literally downhill walks both to and from the resort (which those with kids and skis will definitely appreciate). 5) Pool and whirlpool and spa facilities were gorgeous, well kept, and a huge benefit to anyone (whether adult getaway or having kids with you). Could not have asked for more. If you like to be taken care of this place is a great option. Everyone was so nice and they always had an extra plate of snacks or a wine recommendation and 100 other little things that made it easy and so nice… Oh and we own a ski place in Colorado and it’s true that (if you don’t own your own ski llace), you can probably go skiing for a week at Hotel Marmolada for the same cost you’d spend for a week skiing in the USA. Flights are obviously more expensive, but the hotels, food, and skiing are all probably half the price of the U.S. equivalent, which more than made up for the flight premium. Thanks for everything to the Hotel Marmolada team!

Our 5 night stay was fabulous. We loved the decor and ambience of the Marmolada- warm, alpine and chic! The beds were comfortable, the duvets light and warm. Our suite was very generous, with a large bathroom, separate toilet and plenty of cupboard space. The lounge facilities were cosy, the pool and spa also a feature- and my facial with ?Gina was the best ever! The facility of ski and boot storage over the road was excellent. As for the dining experience, both breakfast and dinners were outstanding, with mouth-watering choices and a gr8 wine selection. But best of all, the staff were always friendly and helpful, making the experience feel like we were part of a family! Thank you Sonia and Ivan, and all the crew for a wonderful Dolomites experience- we look forward to returning.

The Marmolada is a beautiful hotel with a great spa. There are lovely cosy seating areas to relax in after skiing and a lively bar that has several evenings with entertainment. Comfortable and spacious room and we were only B&B but a good choice for breakfast. Lovely friendly staff too.
