Spectacular views from the 1224 Bar Lounge and Terrace
The largest 5-star resort in Ampezzo valley, the Grand Hotel Savoia has long been a fulcrum for cultural and artistic events in the town, and boasts a storied history Sophia Loren, Leo Tolstoy, Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt listed as guests.
In the shadow of the Dolomites, the property’s 132 guest rooms include 16 junior suites, 9 suites and the ultraluxe Royal Suite Savoia. An all-new interior design has been influenced by the surrounding mountainous landscape, and incorporates a variety of textures and materials which reflect this high-altitude destination.
The hotel has three unique culinary locations. The chic but casual Ristorante Savoy with Chef Luigi Sarsano at the helm, offering a Mediterranean focused menu; the 1224 Bar Lounge and Terrace, a destination for après ski socializing and fashionable gatherings; and the Sports Bar, a pub outfitted with the very latest audio-visual technology.
There’s also the Savoia Spa, which features Comfort Zone treatments, including restorative sports massages, and fitness area with indoor heated pool.

Sometimes, you bite into a morsel so delicately delicious, you know you’ll be thinking about it for at least three months after. And sometimes, you take a sip and know the drink will be on your mind every time you order a rather less mind-blowing iteration of the same cocktail. Both of these instances happened…
