About Ancora Cortina

Insider tip

Ask the hotel to arrange a sunrise snowshoeing excursion or yoga session in a nearby meadow. Ride the famous Faloria cable car for unparalleled vistas across the UNESCO-designated Dolomites.

In the hotel’s own words

The newest chapter of an iconic landmark in the heart of Cortina d’Ampezzo. First opened in 1826, Ancora has been reimagined through a multi-year creative restoration that honours its heritage while embracing a bold new vision.

Inaugurated in June 2025, the hotel offers 38 rooms and suites designed as a contemporary retreat, where design meets soul, and encounters unfold naturally. Ancora is the living room of Cortina: a gathering space for creative minds, travellers, and locals alike.

Traditional alpine materials like wood and velvet meet unexpected details, creating a timeless yet modern aesthetic: vintage pieces, curated art, layered textures. From every window and private terrace, the Dolomites serve as a majestic backdrop.

Dining is driven by seasonality and global influence. The open-kitchen restaurant offers a refined, ever-evolving menu inspired by nature’s rhythms, while La Terrazza, open all day to guests and visitors, flows seamlessly from breakfast to aperitivo, blending international flair with local flavour.

The bar is the perfect place for a pre-dinner cocktail, masterfully crafted by our expert mixologists. As night falls, The Brave Club opens its doors. An intimate underground space where connection takes centre stage, and phones take the night off.
