Located in Northeastern Italy and nestled within the spectacular
Dolomites mountain range, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the
dual-season property will reopen after a redesign of the hotel’s
rooms and suites, as well as the hotel’s lobby. A second phase of
renovation will be complete by December when the property will
celebrate its first ski season as part of The Luxury Collection.
With this reopening, The Luxury Collection expands to eight hotels
in Italy, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to growing its
European portfolio.
“The iconic Cristallo Resort is a perfect fit for The Luxury
Collection, as it is truly a hotel that defines its destination,”
said Mitzi Gaskins, Global Brand Leader, The Luxury Collection
& JW Marriott. “Italy is a key market for our brand, and this
hotel marks our eighth location in the country, while also
celebrating a key global milestone – The Luxury Collection’s first
ski resort in the world!"
Boasting majestic views across Cortina and the monumental
Dolomites, the hotel’s 74 guestrooms, including 20 suites and two
Presidential suites, have been distinctively furnished to
complement the property’s Italian heritage. Pale wood panels are
offset by intricate wild flower detailing and delicate cornicing,
full of local character. Each room has been well-appointed with the
signature Luxury Collection bed, en-suite Carrara marble bathroom
with heated floors, and modern technology.
The hotel’s four restaurants offer guests a choice of diverse
Italian recipes and cozy atmospheres. La Stube 1872,
with its wood-covered walls and antique majolica stove, provides an
intimate fine dining experience and incorporates local produce and
tradition. Il Gazebo is set in a circular room with
spectacular 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape,
providing the best of regional Italian fare. La Veranda is
an authentic Italian restaurant, open for breakfast and lunch, with
a Chef's Private Table experience that combines culinary passion
with local recipes. During the summer months, La Terrazza
opens its doors to offer al fresco dining within the immersive
setting of the striking Dolomite Mountains.
The Cristallo ULTIMATE SPA, a Transvital Swiss Beauty Center,
focuses on locally-sourced, exclusive therapeutic treatments that
provide signature detox, anti-ageing, relaxation and après ski
rituals. Equipped with a rejuvenating Hammam, sauna and oversized
Romanesque indoor pool, the 1600 square meter spa (5,200 square
feet) also includes a spacious FitWell Club that offers
cutting-edge fitness equipment, a virtual trainer, and spectacular
views of the Dolomites.
The resort also has a private event space, and a golf course, in
partnership with Golf Club Cortina, where guests can compete on the
nine-hole course framed by the Dolomites. The alpine-style Club
House provides an inviting setting for conversation over drinks or
a meal, and is just a short drive from the resort.
“Since 1901, The Cristallo has always been a family run
property,” said Paola Gualandi, Owner and Vice President of Sales
& Marketing, Cristallo Resort & Spa. “Joining forces with
The Luxury Collection will allow us to continue the tradition of
warm family hospitality, while at the same time it will enable us
to be included in a global portfolio of properties that are bound
by a collective standard of luxury.”
The iconic property, which first opened in 1901, has a storied
history that includes hosting The Winter Olympics, Hollywood
film crews such as The Pink Panther, and celebrities such as Frank
Sinatra. Cortina is one of Italy’s most sought after
destinations for skiing, summer activities such as hiking and
mountain biking, as well as one of the region’s top epicurean
destinations. As the newest member of The Luxury
Collection, Cristallo will continue to surround its guests
in extraordinary period details like pendant chandeliers and
hand-painted wall ‘frescos’, while expanding on its modern-day
amenities to provide a truly luxurious guest experience.
