Schgaguler Hotel

“Home away from Home. Our favorite Mountain Resort!”

We came back to Schgaguler Hotel in Castelrotto for the second time – this time with our whole family, and we stayed for an entire week in one of their beautiful two-story maisonette suites.

We came back to Schgaguler Hotel in Castelrotto for the second time – this time with our whole family, and we stayed for an entire week in one of their beautiful two-story maisonette suites. From the moment we arrived, it felt like coming home. The hotel’s style is exactly what we love – a perfect balance of elegant minimalism and warm wooden tones. Every corner is thoughtfully designed, and the entire atmosphere invites you to slow down and enjoy. The bar is, without exaggeration, the most beautiful hotel bar I’ve ever seen – both in design and in spirit. Dinner is a daily highlight: fine à la carte dining with a carefully curated five-course menu in the evening. The quality of the food is outstanding, and the service is even better. A huge part of what makes Schgaguler so special is the people. Peter, Nikola, and Andrea run the bar like true artists – their cocktails are excellent, and their warmth makes every drink taste even better. Claudia and Amire make every dinner service a joy with their attention to detail and genuine kindness. And Simon at the front desk is your go-to person for unforgettable hikes and insider tips in the Dolomites. And above it all is Sandra – the heart and soul of the hotel. She’s the perfect host: warm, present, and always two steps ahead to make sure everything runs flawlessly. Schgaguler is our feel-good place. Stylish, calm, and full of soul. We’ll definitely be back – again and again. Top, top, top!

“Like going to heaven in a hotel!”

We chose this as a luxury break while in the Dolomites, and what an amazing place it is. We had one of the 'lesser' apartments- I can only imagine what the hotel rooms and suites were like.

We chose this as a luxury break while in the Dolomites, and what an amazing place it is. We had one of the 'lesser' apartments- I can only imagine what the hotel rooms and suites were like. We also chose the half-board option, which had phenomenal food. The service was magnificent, the furniture and fitting top class, and the views beyond expectation. We hope to get back there again one day.

“Our FAVORITE stay in Italy”

Our entire stay here was beyond phenomenal.

Our entire stay here was beyond phenomenal. The location was top notch; we are a very active couple that spends a lot of time mountain biking and trail running in the US, so it was important for us to have access to that here. The Alpe nearby was gorgeous and so much fun! The front desk staff was helpful, kind, and all around impeccable. The same goes for everyone that helped us, the folks at breakfast or the bartenders, everyone was top tier. The food was great, we did breakfast every morning and dinner one night, and everything was yummy. The drinks at the bar were very well done, and the pastry hour was fun and yummy! My husband had a biking accident while we were there and couldn't walk much, and they were so helpful and caring with everything we needed. 15/10 recommend. The rooms were cozy clean and modern, and we loved every second.

“Form over function”

I booked two rooms, a family suite and a gable suite. The family suite was great, the gable suite was not. It’s a two level room with two twin beds upstairs and a king bed downstairs — all good there. The issue was the open shower (no door) facing the stairs to the upstairs. No matter what kind of … Mais

I booked two rooms, a family suite and a gable suite. The family suite was great, the gable suite was not. It’s a two level room with two twin beds upstairs and a king bed downstairs — all good there. The issue was the open shower (no door) facing the stairs to the upstairs. No matter what kind of group you are sharing the space with (most likely kids), there is zero privacy. The stairs were shallow, steep and dangerous, especially for kids but really for humans of any age. The sink for this bathroom is basically in the entry of the room and is challenging to use in tandem with another person or navigate the space when someone else is using. It’s just a terrible design that necessitated people in our group showering in shifts while others waited in the lounge area of the hotel. A Gable Suite floor plan should be posted on their website and the hotel should double check that potential clients understand its design flaws. Another issue is the dinner. We elected half board. The dinner menu made no sense, paired ingredients that were comical and perplexing; risotto with candied orange, juice as a first course — yes, juice like you would have in the morning, salad swimming in yogurt, calamari with Mexican beans, green goop they said was avocado but as someone from California I can tell you it was not an avocado or avocado product. On our last night we discovered a vegetarian or pescatarian menu was possible but we would have had to give the kitchen advance notice. Wish the hotel had communicated this to me. Ok, a high point was the breakfast. Aside from the tea made with tepid water (but it’s Italy so not surprising), the offerings were plentiful and the fruit selection fantastic. The dinner desserts were also excellent (wish the pastry chef took over the savory food helm). The hotel service was also great — everyone we interacted with was helpful and friendly. The aesthetic of the place is awesome, rooms and common spaces. I would stay at Schgaguler again — with the right room and no dinners it would have been a good stay.
