"Forestis is absolutely spectacular and I would recommend anyone that can afford it to spend 2 nights or more at this hotel. The Hotel and its Staff deserves 6 out of 5 stars for the following highlights:
1 Star for the Architecture, Landscape and Nature. I don't think many hotels in the world can compete with the design (interior and exterior), the views of the Dolomitti mountain range and the access to nature. The scandinavian minimalistic design contrasted with the raw rugged nature of the dolomites is unlike anything i have seen. Calm and wild at the same time.
1 Star for the exceptional and attentive staff. All the staff were nice, attentive and it felt like they both cared about their job and their guests. I know the management and owners takes great care of the employees. Special Shoutout to Maria, Lorenzo, Luca, Sandra, Federico, Irene, Regine and many others who looked after us.
1 Star for the exceptional food, cocktails, wine list and breakfast. The breakfast is unlike anything I've ever tried - and combined with the panoramic view of the dolomites, the beans and french toast tasted as great as ever. The 4 - 7 course menu in the evening was also fantastic and borderline Michelin worthy. Lorenzo and Federico made some fabulous cocktails and the wine card was pretty stellar (will have to come back without a pregnant wife!).
1 Star for the Spa and Spa Personnel and also the Spa Guests. Everyone was quiet, respectful and clearly cared for their own and others desire to rest and relax. No loud adults, no excessive public affection. The SPA is so well designed both functionally and aesthetically and has a broad selection of Saunas and Ice Baths. Place was nice and tidy all day long.
1 Star for the Arrival and Departure procedure. I really don't know anything better than someone standing ready to welcome me, knowing my name, opening my doors and handling my luggage and car. From the moment we arrived to the moment departed Forestis, its staff and their operating procedures were executed absolutely flawless.
1 Star for the housekeeping staff. The place was absolutely spotless and pristine all the time. Rooms were nice and taken care of twice a day (during breakfast and dinner).
Notes on our stay: We were a couple staying here in January 2026 (which i understood was off-season). There was snow, sunshine, and mild temperatures, which allowed us to make great use of both the indoor and outdoor facilities. We were not skiing so 2 days was decent enough for us, although i would have gladly stayed another night.
From a value perspective i actually think FORESTIS delivers far more value than they charge for the rooms. Nominally yes, the rooms are expensive, but i will happily fork out that amount knowing what FORESTIS is about. The 7 course menu was definitely worth the 125 EUR. With that said, you have to be prepared (mentally and financially) to fork out at least 750 - 1500 EUR to have an F&B experience that matches your surroundings. We did the 7 course menu the first night and then a la carte the other night.
Our Spa (baby moon) trip through Austria and the Dolomites counted SALTUS, FORESTIS and Naturhotel Forsthofgut (in that order). I am not reviewing the other hotels here and they are difficult to compare. But FORESTIS is the only of the 3 that i will come back to. Guaranteed.
At FORESTIS I felt closer to heaven both physically, spiritually and mentally and i encourage anyone who needs a break to visit this place.
Thanks
