Lodging costs vary widely, but Cortina was home to many more affordable options.
If we compare Cortina d’Ampezzo to its North American twin, Aspen, lodging is another category in which the Dolomites were cheaper.
I spent $777 for a two-night stay at Camina Suite and Spa, a four-star hotel in Cortina. Here, I had amenities like a free breakfast, sauna, and free parking.
There were plenty of more luxe hotel options to choose from. I could’ve spent more than $1,500 a night to stay in Cortina d’Ampezzo’s nicest resorts like Hotel de Lën or Rosapetra Spa Resort.
Staying in Aspen’s top resorts, like The Little Nell or St. Regis Aspen, would cost more than $2,500.
Meanwhile, Cortina d’Ampezzo is home to many more affordable options. In the heart of Cortina d’Ampezzo, more than 10 hotels offer rates lower than $300 a night. If you want to stay in Aspen proper, there are just two hotels with prices lower than $300 a night.
If I wanted a similar four-star experience in Aspen, I would’ve had to pay about $1,000 a night. By traveling to Italy, I had a luxury stay for about $1,223 less.
