Forestis Dolomites
Brixen, Italy
A summit-perched sanctuary 1800m up in the mountains of the South Tyrol, Forestis Dolomites gazes out over acres of forests in summer, and snow-dusted wintry peaks. Surrounded by drifting clouds, it’s a heavenly spa hotel secluded in a dream-like landscape. The sky-tickling hills are exalted, rather than hidden, by the hotel’s clean-lines architecture: spartanly minimalist interiors and floor-to-ceiling windows create a light, airy and elegant vibe. Clean lines and stone accents triumph in bedrooms, where decked balconies offering total immersion in the landscape. Run on 100 per cent renewable energy, the hotel both reveres and protects its wider landscape. Pampering takes its purest form up here. The spa offers a new perspective on 'forest bathing'. The heated outdoor pool, indoor pool, Finnish-style sauna, wooden 'energy exercise' space, fitness suite and treatment rooms all enjoy panoramic views of the forests. Treatments are inspired by native trees. Roland Lamprecht returns to his roots serving a modern Tyrolean cuisine in the pared-back restaurant space. The bar draws on ancient Celtic culture: warmed by an open fire, guests enjoy cocktails concocted from forest ingredients. With ski-in, ski-out capabilities, plus summer biking and hiking opportunities, this is a hotel as interested in what’s beyond its walls as the sanctum within.
