Hotel Arkadia - "Adults Only"

Apologies but this will take a while to get trough Accommodation - Feb 2025 half term with a party of 7 (two adults and five young people with an age range of 21-14). Stayed in two double rooms (me, my wife and our 14 year old son on the sofa bed in one) and the older kids (two of them on sofa seats, in the other). Thought it was going to be a bit of a squeeze but there was more than enough space in our room and the older kids were happy too. Tick. Staff - All super nice and can't do enough for you. They are all a credit to the hotel. Tick. Amenities - Lovely adequate pool on the 3rd floor (with a little outdoor area which you wont be out there for long) with surrounding beds that you can relax on after a hard days skiing. Smallish cardio room but really not necessary. You're on hols give yourself a break! They have an awesome wellness room and my wife enjoyed a couple of relaxing treatments. Tick Food - Fabulous food and for the kids to try steak tartare was ground breaking. The range of meals from dinner to breakfast suited everyone. Double tick. Location - This is where it gets really cool. If it were not for a small road that you have to cross then this hotel would be truly ski-in & ski-out but its as close to it as you can get. But that's not the cool part. All you do is cross the road clip on your ski's and make a choice of 3 lifts, yes 3 lifts right in front of you that take you in 3 different directions. That's still not the cool part! To set the scene, the 5 kids are excellent skiers and I like to think that I'm not bad. However my wife is a good, but very nervous intermediate. Here's the cool part. Lift one lift directs you to a majority of blue runs. Lift two takes you to a red run start & lift three has a good combination and is truly the gateway to the Sellaronda area. Tick. Overall summary - A beautiful boutique style hotel in the perfect location, with food that's first class and ski terrain for everyone.

Myself and my wife have just spend 4 nights here as part of our 8 night trip to Italy visiting Venice, Verona and of course the Dolomites and this certainly was the highlight of the trip! We booked the hotel based on the stunning pictures and great location & it exceeded our expectations! The whole place was immaculate with stunning decor. The views from the hotel were some of the best I've ever seen and the infinity pool area was an incredible place to relax at the end of each day. The hotel is situated next to numerous ski lifts all within a 5 minute walk (with 2 literally outside the front door) making it the perfect place to explore the incredible surrounding walks and sights of the Dolomites. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the breakfast was brilliant with a huge selection of food ranging from fresh pancakes, local cheeses and meats, fresh honey, freshly squeezed orange juice. You name it they had it. We also had an evening meal in the restaurant one night and got a half price deal at 38 euros each due to the fact we were staying there. Again the food was amazing, with a 7 course menu. Thanks to the whole team for making our stay so special and I can honestly say it's the best hotel we've ever stayed at.

L’albergo ha una posizione eccezionale (davanti agli impianti di risalita), una ski room ben attrezzata, un ristorante di pregio, personale preparato e cortese, una bella piscina panoramica molto ben manutenuta. Le camere sono spaziose, carine, pulite. Ma la temperatura interna di camere e zone comuni è troppo, troppo alta e la gestione dei termostati è centralizzata. Abbiamo chiesto due volte di abbassare la temperatura delle nostre due camere, chiuso il termoarredo del bagno, chiuso il termosifone della camera (purtroppo restava attivo il riscaldamento a pavimento). La soluzione proposta dalla signorina in reception è stata “aprite la finestra”. E così è stato. Abbiamo dormito una settimana con la finestra aperta. Mentre fuori nevicava… Risultato: dopo 6 giorni dal rientro sto ancora prendendo antibiotico. L’hotel meriterebbe una valutazione eccellente ma non posso darla perché il disagio è stato troppo. Mi dispiace perché tutto il resto funziona davvero bene…
