Hotel Cesa Tyrol

The hotel is well-located, with easy access to the ski slopes (15 minutes walk to the Gondola station, but in the mornings & afternoons we used the hotel’s regular shuttle service, which was excellent and very quick). The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with large beds, plenty of storage and surface-space, and beautiful views. Our bathroom was a bit dated, but still excellent, and a really hot & powerful shower which we loved. The house-keeping team were so friendly and efficient too. The staff are what makes this place (and the food) - the team were so friendly and helpful, and happy to let me practice my terrible Italian speaking! The reception team and the restaurant/bar team were all exceptional, but massive gratitude to Daniel who worked in the restaurant every morning & evening of our trip, and was incredibly attentive. The bar had some great local wines, an impressive range of cocktails, and delicious bar snacks. The restaurant serves delicious regional cuisine, made with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, and it was exciting every morning to see the menu for that evening, and select which dishes we wanted. The salad bar/buffet for the first course was outstanding - not just salads, but meat carpaccios, salmon, prawn crackers, grilled vegetables, focaccia slices, coleslaws and greek salad, which changed day to day. The food was exceptional, and you absolutely won’t go hungry. On the daily menus there were also veggie options too. Breakfast was very good, with an extensive range of cereals, breads, sweets (cakes, croissants, tarts), yoghurts and toppings (seeds, grains, dried berries, etc). There was also a thing to boil eggs. I think you might be able to order omelettes but this wasn’t advertised and we discovered this too late in the holiday unfortunately (as I would have much preferred a hot breakfast). The hotel has a recently-installed sauna and a hot tub located on the second floor, and the sauna was excellent, and sat at 90-degrees every afternoon/evening, with lightly-scented eucalyptus water to splash onto the slate wall or coals. Overall, the Cesa Tyrol is a top choice for those seeking a comfortable and enjoyable ski vacation in Canazei, with an incredible ski area and beautiful town.

Our first visit to The Cesa Tyrol was an absolute pleasure. We have stayed in several hotels in Canazei and Campitello in the past and none compares with this. Food is varied and plentiful and always of top quality, with lots of choices on the menu. Service in the restaurant is extremely efficient, helpful and friendly. Standards of cleanliness both in the bedrooms and throughout the hotel are probably the best we have ever seen! The hotel owners/managers are ever-present, hard-working and nothing seems to be too much trouble for them. We look forward to returning soon.
