Alpe di Siusi hotels split into two completely different trips, and almost nobody tells you that before you book.<\/p>\n
Sleep on the plateau<\/strong> and you get the mornings and the evenings to yourself. The day visitors have gone down on the last cable car, the light turns gold across 56 km\u00b2 (22 square miles) of empty meadow, and you can be on a trail before anyone else arrives. Sleep in the valley villages<\/strong> and you get more choice, better value and somewhere to eat that isn\u2019t your own hotel. Both are good. They\u2019re just not the same trip.<\/p>\n Here are the 10 best hotels in Alpe di Siusi, what each one is actually for, and which ones take dogs.<\/p>\n TL;DR<\/strong><\/p>\n The best Alpe di Siusi hotels are COMO Alpina Dolomites<\/a> for luxury on the plateau, ADLER Alpe<\/a> for the spa, Seiser Alm Urthaler<\/a> if you\u2019re bringing a dog, Hotel Schmung<\/a> for a family-run base ten minutes from the trailheads, and Hotel Gstatsch<\/a> for families on a budget.<\/p>\n Plateau or valley?<\/strong><\/p>\n Staying up at Compaccio or Saltria buys you empty trails at either end of the day, plus a road permit that gets around the daily 9:00 am to 5:00 pm closure. Staying down in Siusi, Castelrotto, Fi\u00e8 or Ortisei buys you choice, restaurants and a lower bill.<\/p>\n Book early<\/strong><\/p>\n There are only a few dozen hotels on the plateau itself, and the good ones go months ahead for July, August and the ski season.<\/p>\n First time here?<\/strong><\/p>\n Read our Alpe di Siusi guide<\/a> first for the cable car, the road closure and what to do in each season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Short on time? The quick picks<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you already know roughly where you want to be, start here. Each of these searches covers one base, and they\u2019re ordered the way most people choose: plateau first, then down the hill.<\/p>\n Compaccio, on the plateau<\/p>\n The arrival point at the top of the cable car, about 1,850 m (6,070 ft), and where most of the plateau\u2019s hotels are. Trails leave from the door and the day visitors leave at five.<\/p>\n Good for:<\/strong> early starts, sunsets, road access permits, ski-to-door in winter<\/p>\n See dates & prices on Booking.com \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Saltria, the quiet end<\/p>\n The far side of the plateau, under the Sassolungo, around 1,900 m (6,230 ft). Fewer hotels, fewer people, and the Florian lift on the doorstep.<\/p>\n Good for:<\/strong> quiet, Sciliar views, skiing, anyone who found Compaccio busy<\/p>\n See dates & prices on Booking.com \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Siusi (Seis am Schlern)<\/p>\n The village at the bottom of the cable car, so you\u2019re 15 minutes from the plateau without paying plateau rates. Bus 170 from Bolzano stops here.<\/p>\n Good for:<\/strong> value, car-free arrivals, a village to come back to<\/p>\n See dates & prices on Booking.com \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Castelrotto (Kastelruth)<\/p>\n The prettiest of the valley villages, with a painted bell tower and a square that still works as a square. Cherry blossoms through it in early May.<\/p>\n Good for:<\/strong> restaurants, families, a base for more than Alpe di Siusi<\/p>\n See dates & prices on Booking.com \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Ortisei, Val Gardena<\/p>\n The other way up: the Mont S\u00ebuc gondola lifts you to the northern edge of the plateau in about 10 minutes. The biggest town of the lot, and the best for an evening out.<\/p>\n Good for:<\/strong> shops and restaurants, Val Gardena hiking, families who want options<\/p>\n See dates & prices on Booking.com \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Nine of the ten are up here, which tells you something: a plateau this size has surprisingly few beds on it, and the protection order means that isn\u2019t going to change.<\/p>\n The glass front is the giveaway. Where everything else up here is wood and shingle, the Alpina is a long pane of glass facing the Sciliar, and the point of it becomes obvious about four seconds after you walk in.<\/p>\n Two pools, one of them outdoors with the meadow running away underneath it. A full spa. Ski-to-door in winter. It\u2019s a member of Leading Hotels of the World, and recent guests rate the location 9.8, which on a plateau where every hotel has a view is a real distinction.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the most expensive bed on Alpe di Siusi and it isn\u2019t pretending otherwise. If you want one night on this plateau to be the night you remember, this is the Alpe di Siusi hotel to book.<\/p>\n See dates & prices on Booking.com \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n Guests rate ADLER Alpe\u2019s location a flat 10.0. Not 9.8. Ten.<\/p>\n You get an infinity pool that appears to spill onto the meadow, an open-air bath, sauna, hot tub, steam room, a gym and yoga classes, all in a 5-star with ski-to-door access. The restaurant runs Mediterranean, German and South Tyrolean, and breakfast covers vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free without making a production of it.<\/p>\n Family rooms are available, though the spa is the reason people come. If you want the best spa hotel in Alpe di Siusi, this is it.<\/p>\n See dates & prices on Booking.com \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n This is the first hotel in the Alps built entirely from solid wood. No chemicals anywhere in the construction, which sounds like a brochure line until you walk into the lobby and notice the smell, or rather what the smell isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n It sits at 1,850 m (6,070 ft) with two pools, a sauna and a Turkish bath, glass en-suite bathrooms, a fireplace in the bar, and summer hiking trails that start outside the door. Dogs are welcome for a nightly fee, which makes it the pick if you\u2019re bringing one.<\/p>\n Of all the hotels in Alpe di Siusi, this is the one that feels most like the place it\u2019s standing in.<\/p>\n See dates & prices on Booking.com \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n At 1,900 m (6,230 ft) on the Saltria side, this is the highest of the ten and the one pointed most squarely at the Sciliar. The sun terrace does the rest.<\/p>\n Inside there\u2019s a proper Tyrolean stube, the wood-panelled room with a ceramic stove that every South Tyrolean hotel wishes it had, plus a spa, a gym and family rooms. The restaurant runs South Tyrolean and international, with gluten-free and vegan options at breakfast, and there\u2019s an airport shuttle if you\u2019d rather not drive. Location rated 9.8.<\/p>\n Saltria is 30 minutes by road from Siusi and Castelrotto, so this is a stay-put hotel rather than a base. That\u2019s the appeal.<\/p>\n See dates & prices on Booking.com \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n Family-run, right on the ski slope at 1,811 m (5,942 ft), and about 10 minutes on foot from Compaccio, where most of the plateau\u2019s trails begin. There\u2019s a free shuttle if you\u2019d rather not do those 10 minutes at the end of a long day.<\/p>\n The wellness center has a Finnish sauna, a steam bath, a sensory shower and a relaxation room with water beds. Breakfast runs to homemade cakes and a gluten-free option. Parking is free and there\u2019s a garage for bikes, which the cyclists in the reviews are notably happy about.<\/p>\n A bus stop sits 50 m (165 ft) away with services to Bolzano, Bressanone and Merano. For hikers who want to be on the trails before the first cable car arrives, this is the Alpe di Siusi hotel we\u2019d book first.<\/p>\n See dates & prices on Booking.com \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n The one that solves the family problem. Family rooms with balconies and mountain views, an indoor pool with a view out of it, a spa, a steam room and a fitness room, free parking, and a kitchen that does vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free without a fuss.<\/p>\n It sits out on the meadow at Seiser-Alm-Weg, about 4 km (2.5 miles) from the Sciliar massif, with the plateau on three sides of it.<\/p>\n Pets are allowed here too, which combined with the family rooms makes it the easiest booking of the ten if you\u2019re arriving with children, a dog, or both. If you\u2019re after a family hotel in Alpe di Siusi that doesn\u2019t charge 5-star rates for the privilege, start here.<\/p>\n See dates & prices on Booking.com \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n This one has its own ski lift. Not nearby, not a shuttle to one: its own, with ski-to-door access from the Floralpina slopes, which in winter is about as good as the logistics get.<\/p>\n Rooms are natural wood panelling with balconies, satellite TV and bathrobes and slippers waiting in the bathroom. The wellness center has a Finnish sauna, a Turkish bath and an indoor pool with a whirlpool, and there are two pools in total. The restaurant does South Tyrolean and classic Italian, served on the terrace when the weather allows.<\/p>\n Location rated 9.7. In summer it\u2019s a quiet corner of the plateau; in winter it\u2019s one of the best-placed hotels in Alpe di Siusi, full stop.<\/p>\n See dates & prices on Booking.com \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n Three pools. On a plateau where hotels count theirs in ones, this 4-star has three, plus a sauna, a hot tub and a Turkish bath.<\/p>\n It sits at the foot of the Seiser Alm about 200 m (660 ft) from the Florian ski lift, with family rooms, room service and a restaurant that recent guests single out. Breakfast is a buffet with cold cuts, cheeses and eggs; lunch and dinner run local and international.<\/p>\n Siusi and Castelrotto are both about 30 minutes away by road, so you\u2019re committed once you\u2019re up. Location rated 9.7, and the pools are the reason to pick it over its neighbours.<\/p>\n See dates & prices on Booking.com \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n At 2,020 m (6,630 ft) this is the highest hotel on the list, and the only fully vegan one on the plateau. Even if you eat meat seven days a week, the restaurant is worth the detour: plant-based, organic, and sourced from farms you can see from the terrace.<\/p>\n The building leans into art and sustainability rather than Tyrolean tradition, and the wellness center has several saunas and a steam bath. Family rooms, free parking, and a bar with a view that recent guests rate 9.8 for location.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the most distinctive of the Alpe di Siusi hotels, and the one you\u2019ll still be describing to people a year later.<\/p>\n See dates & prices on Booking.com \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n Five kilometers (3 miles) out of the center of Ortisei, in a position that gets the whole valley laid out in front of it, which is not what you expect from a hotel this reasonable.<\/p>\n Indoor and outdoor pools, a hot tub, a sauna, a Turkish bath and a gym that stays open 24 hours. Every room is Alpine-style with a balcony, a small table and two chairs on it, and family rooms are available. The breakfast buffet gets called exceptional often enough in the reviews to believe it.<\/p>\n Pets are allowed, and from here the Mont S\u00ebuc gondola puts you on the plateau in about 10 minutes. Location rated 9.5. If you want a hotel near Alpe di Siusi rather than on it, this is the one.<\/p>\n See dates & prices on Booking.com \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Hotels](\"https:\/\/monkeysandmountains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Alpe-di-Siusi-Dolomites-Italy.jpg\")
