Curator’s statement
In May of 2024, my husband and I crossed a dream hotel location off our bucket list: Forestis. We loved it so much, we're going back for Christmas this year. This hotel takes luxury to the next level with top-notch service, stunning panoramic views, and a world-class spa. Tucked away in the mountains, you'll feel like you're on the world's edge while indulging in some of the best food and drinks I've had at a hotel. Splurge for the Tower Suite and be completely awe-struck by your views every morning.

Nestled high in the Dolomites, Forestis is a sanctuary of luxury and tranquility, offering an exquisite escape from the everyday. After a scenic drive through lush forests and winding hills, you'll discover FORESTIS perched majestically above Brixen, where breathtaking mountain vistas await.
Here, you’ll feel as if you’re floating among the clouds while luxuriating in the indoor/outdoor infinity pool, or unwinding in the verdant green spaces adorned with perfectly placed lounge chairs. The spa, a marvel of serene design. It invites you to lose yourself in its spacious, private corners, whether sipping tea, delving into a good book, or simply enjoying a peaceful nap in a signature forest-green robe.
The attentive staff ensures every moment of your stay is flawless, making you feel warmly welcomed and impeccably cared for. The panoramic views from the rooms are nothing short of spectacular. The Tower Suite offers an awe-inspiring experience that blends modern elegance with stunning patio vistas.
Your days will be filled with delight as you explore scenic hikes, indulge in rejuvenating spa treatments, and savor the ambiance during aperitivo hours on the main patio. Cozy fireplaces invite you to relax and unwind in inviting nooks throughout the property.
The dining experience is equally remarkable. I highly recommend securing a dinner reservation in advance to experience the divine tasting menu, though à la carte options are also available. Pack your evening best, as the sophisticated guests here dress to impress. Mornings begin with a luxurious breakfast that balances indulgence with health. It features a juice bar, locally foraged ingredients, and a variety of choices to satisfy every palate.
Forestis isn’t just a retreat; it’s a journey into a world of refined relaxation and unparalleled natural beauty.
Need to know
Splurge for the Tower Suite: I recommend splurging for the Tower Suite. The views are stunning!
Dress to Impress: Wellness and nature take the forefront, but evenings allow guests to showcase their style. I'd suggest packing a few 'smart elegant' outfits to enjoy your sophisticated evenings with Forestis.
Two-Night Minimum: While this isn't a hotel requirement, I'd suggest staying a minimum of 2-3 nights. It's hard to get to and once you arrive, you won't want to leave.
