Ancora Cortina: A Revived Landmark in the Queen of the Dolomites

Ancora Cortina is the reborn version of one of Cortina d'Ampezzo's most historic hotels, on the pedestrian Corso Italia in the heart of the glamorous Dolomite resort long known as the Queen of the Dolomites and a co-host of the 2026 Winter Olympics. Its revival brought a fashion-led, contemporary design sensibility to a storied address.

The dining spans day to night. The Restaurant offers an intimate indoor experience of sophisticated dishes under chef Andrea Chivetto; the all-day Veranda overlooks the main street with views of the historic bell tower and the Dolomites; and Club Brave brings DJ sets and nightlife after dinner.

For a stylish, central Cortina stay, Ancora is a standout.
