"If you hadn't heard of Cortina before, you're about to: the upscale ski resort in Italy's northern Dolomite region is about to become one half of the duo hosting the Winter Olympics 2026 from February 6 - 22. Visiting for the first time? Worry not - we've tapped into the experts for our insider guide to Cortina. Mostly frequented by Italian ski-seekers, Cortina is about two hours north of Venice, just south of the Italy-Austria border, and around 50 mins via helicopter from fellow host Milan."
"Cortina has a history of grand old-timer hotels as well as some posher newcomers (the historic Hotel Cristallo is slated to re-open under the Mandarin Oriental umbrella in 2026, but is currently looking like it will miss the Olympics buzz). Among the town's best is Rosapetra, a distinctly Alpine hotel (think: fir wood paneling, fur throws, and mountain views) with an award-winning spa."
