Hotel de LEN – Contemporary Alpine Hospitality in the Heart of Cortina d’Ampezzo
Hotel de LEN is a tribute to its place and to the natural element of wood, telling a story of well-being, sustainability and deep respect for the environment. Located in the centre of Cortina d’Ampezzo, the “Queen of the Dolomites”, the hotel blends Alpine tradition with contemporary design, creating a welcoming and refined atmosphere for guests throughout the year.
History & Philosophy
Opened in early 2022 after the complete transformation of the historic Hotel Impero, Hotel de LEN brings a fresh and innovative concept inspired by the surrounding landscape. The name de LEN — meaning “of wood” in Ladin — reflects the very essence of the hotel. Wood, sourced locally and crafted by Ampezzo artisans, forms the soul of the property and contributes to a warm, soothing environment while enhancing sustainability and wellbeing.
Design & Sustainability
Natural materials and smart technologies are integrated throughout the hotel to promote healthier living spaces and minimise environmental impact. The design philosophy emphasises harmony with nature and high-quality craftsmanship, creating spaces that feel both contemporary and deeply rooted in local identity.

At Hotel de LEN, cuisine reflects a commitment to local flavours and sustainable raw ingredients. Nutrition is considered an essential part of wellbeing — a conscious choice rooted in traditional flavours and quality products. Guests are invited to enjoy mindful, flavourful dishes that celebrate regional specialties and stimulate the senses.

Wellbeing at Hotel de LEN is explored in close dialogue with nature. The hotel features a panoramic spa overlooking the valley and the surrounding alpine landscape, offering guests a space dedicated to relaxation, balance and regeneration.
