Hôtel de la Poste

About Hôtel de la Poste

As the name suggests, it’s Cortina d’Ampezzo’s former post office that provides the raw material for the Hôtel de la Poste. But this alpine chalet-style building, later turned into an inn, is better known for another bit of history: Ernest Hemingway was a regular at its now-legendary bar in the late 1940s, and his typewriter and books remain in a museum-like first-floor suite where he stayed several times. The hotel was renovated in time for the 1956 Winter Olympics and still retains much of its mid-century charm, with rooms featuring antique furniture, parquet floors, and vintage chandeliers. The wood-paneled restaurant and lounge are straight out of another era, and the wide terrace bar is a fine spot for aperitivi with sweeping views of the Dolomites.
