Forestis Dolomites

“Absolute Perfection”

Forestis is a one-of-a-kind experience and place. To call it a hotel doesn't suffice, as it's much more than that - it's an oasis, a refuge. It's a bit of trek to get to Forestis (we flew into Milan, and took a 4-hour ride to the property), but once you're there, you don't need to (and won't want… more

Forestis is a one-of-a-kind experience and place. To call it a hotel doesn't suffice, as it's much more than that - it's an oasis, a refuge. It's a bit of trek to get to Forestis (we flew into Milan, and took a 4-hour ride to the property), but once you're there, you don't need to (and won't want to) leave at all. Our time there was a seamless experience - the staff were incredibly lovely, helpful, and kind, and every detail/suggestion from the team was extremely thoughtful. Our time was made all the better by Davide from the restaurant, Clemens from the ski valet, and the general manager, Günther's, remarkable care (he knew and personally greeted everyone who was staying at the hotel). It's rare to come to a place where every single category/department exceeded expectations and quality from service, rooms, spa, food, location and decor. The dining room was the most unique space I've ever eaten in - truly dining nature's theater. Forestis is a masterclass in hospitality - I rarely go back to a place twice as I like to explore and try out new things, but because of how special and exceptional Forestis is, I will definitely be coming back again. The price to stay here is what you would expect with staying at a 5-star hotel, however compared to other 5-star hotels/hotel chains, Forestis delivers value far beyond what it quotes. If you are looking for a true luxury experience, look no further and only consider Forestis in the Dolomites. Definitely recommend a 2-3 night stay - one day for unwinding at the spa, and another for exploring the general area (hiking, or in our case, skiing) Need to find an excuse to visit again soon!!

“Heavenly”

Forestis is absolutely spectacular and I would recommend anyone that can afford it to spend 2 nights or more at this hotel.

Forestis is absolutely spectacular and I would recommend anyone that can afford it to spend 2 nights or more at this hotel. The Hotel and its Staff deserves 6 out of 5 stars for the following highlights: 1 Star for the Architecture, Landscape and Nature. I don't think many hotels in the world can compete with the design (interior and exterior), the views of the Dolomitti mountain range and the access to nature. The scandinavian minimalistic design contrasted with the raw rugged nature of the dolomites is unlike anything i have seen. Calm and wild at the same time. 1 Star for the exceptional and attentive staff. All the staff were nice, attentive and it felt like they both cared about their job and their guests. I know the management and owners takes great care of the employees. Special Shoutout to Maria, Lorenzo, Luca, Sandra, Federico, Irene, Regine and many others who looked after us. 1 Star for the exceptional food, cocktails, wine list and breakfast. The breakfast is unlike anything I've ever tried - and combined with the panoramic view of the dolomites, the beans and french toast tasted as great as ever. The 4 - 7 course menu in the evening was also fantastic and borderline Michelin worthy. Lorenzo and Federico made some fabulous cocktails and the wine card was pretty stellar (will have to come back without a pregnant wife!). 1 Star for the Spa and Spa Personnel and also the Spa Guests. Everyone was quiet, respectful and clearly cared for their own and others desire to rest and relax. No loud adults, no excessive public affection. The SPA is so well designed both functionally and aesthetically and has a broad selection of Saunas and Ice Baths. Place was nice and tidy all day long. 1 Star for the Arrival and Departure procedure. I really don't know anything better than someone standing ready to welcome me, knowing my name, opening my doors and handling my luggage and car. From the moment we arrived to the moment departed Forestis, its staff and their operating procedures were executed absolutely flawless. 1 Star for the housekeeping staff. The place was absolutely spotless and pristine all the time. Rooms were nice and taken care of twice a day (during breakfast and dinner). Notes on our stay: We were a couple staying here in January 2026 (which i understood was off-season). There was snow, sunshine, and mild temperatures, which allowed us to make great use of both the indoor and outdoor facilities. We were not skiing so 2 days was decent enough for us, although i would have gladly stayed another night. From a value perspective i actually think FORESTIS delivers far more value than they charge for the rooms. Nominally yes, the rooms are expensive, but i will happily fork out that amount knowing what FORESTIS is about. The 7 course menu was definitely worth the 125 EUR. With that said, you have to be prepared (mentally and financially) to fork out at least 750 - 1500 EUR to have an F&B experience that matches your surroundings. We did the 7 course menu the first night and then a la carte the other night. Our Spa (baby moon) trip through Austria and the Dolomites counted SALTUS, FORESTIS and Naturhotel Forsthofgut (in that order). I am not reviewing the other hotels here and they are difficult to compare. But FORESTIS is the only of the 3 that i will come back to. Guaranteed. At FORESTIS I felt closer to heaven both physically, spiritually and mentally and i encourage anyone who needs a break to visit this place. Thanks PN

“Bucketlist experience for a reason”

Unreal experience. This is one of those bucketlist hotel experiences for a reason. We booked the suite with the view and outdoor balcony. We enjoyed the staff, the food, and the pool. We enjoyed the various saunas, cold plunges, and hiking trails. An incredible experience.

“Better in the summer?”

The hotels key selling points from from my perspective are the view from the rooms, dining room and spa. The location right up on the mountain and the very stringent minimalist design.

The hotels key selling points from from my perspective are the view from the rooms, dining room and spa. The location right up on the mountain and the very stringent minimalist design. The drawback in winter are short days, so darkness engulfs the windows from around 5pm and the view from the dining table is a hugh pitch black window (at breakfast the sun is so strong it is advisable to bring sunglasses). For none skiers the options for longer hikes/walks in winter are restricted; I am sure this will be much different in summer. The design feels very contemporary, in tune with the surroundings and very consistent throughout the property. What did not work for us is the dining room set up. While we appreciate that it is meant to allow unrestricted view and privacy for every table, one can almost feel in isolation weren't it for the many waiters swarming around. We found the food solidly good but no exceptional dining experience and the service at times fussy. We understand why the prices are what they are but they also attract a certain clientele. I happily accept skiwear at the breakfast buffet but loose fitting gym shorts paired with a white rib tank top do not belong there
