A thoughtful hotel choice can give a destination more room in the itinerary. In Lima, art and gastronomy offer reasons to linger; in Mendoza, vineyards bring the landscape to the table. The Dolomites suggest a different pace, with mountain days followed by regional cooking and open views. For travel advisors shaping a trip around their clients’ interests, these stays provide specific starting points: a city explored through its flavors, a closer look at wine culture, or an Alpine escape with a strong local identity.
Hotel Sassongher
Corvara in Alta Badia puts the Dolomites at the center of the stay: mountain trails in summer, skiing in winter, and a landscape that rewards time spent simply looking. Family-run Sassongher brings a distinctly Ladin character to this setting. Traditional dining rooms feature antique wood and handcrafted inlays, while regional flavors share the menu with Italian and international dishes.
The Sky Spa keeps the peaks in view, with panoramic saunas and a terrace overlooking the Sella Group and Piz Boè. The appeal lies in pairing active days with an equally considered return to the hotel. A hike or a day on the slopes can give way to regional cooking and a quiet pause above the valley.
