Vitalhotel Dosses
The Accommodation Site in Santa Cristina, rich in tradition and the history of Val Gardena
Our establishment, first mentioned in the year 1420 as “Hof Doss in Greden” in church registries, has been a family-owned property since its inception. In 1551 Hans von Dosses became the first host at “Hof Doss in Greden“.
Over the course of time, various renovations to and inside the building have changed the appearance of this feel-good hotel accommodation. The present look was achieved after renovation in 1973.
The outbuilding of that time was demolished and substituted with a new structure. Through this intervention, the entire house attained its actual character and the quaint charm of a manor with residential house and attached barn.
At the end of the 1990s, the accommodation site in Santa Cristina, Hotel Dosses, was enlarged through the addition of a wellness area with a sauna landscape and the a whirlpool bath “Aurora”. The beauty zone, body and fitness centre and heated panoramic outdoor swimming pool were added three years ago.
In 2011, the Hotel Dosses was upgraded through the renovation of the west wing and an enlargement towards the north. Ever since, guests can choose between five different room categories.
In 2016, we rebuilt and embellished the Hotel Dosses – now, it offers even more living comfort for our guests. The Alpina rooms are endowed with precious wooden floors and a large panoramic window, with a marvellous view to the Sassolungo and Sasso Piatto. The wellness oasis has also been enlarged with the addition of a bio-sauna, an ice grotto, a mist shower, and a relaxation area. Finally, a new, spacious buffet area and the traditional living room “Stua Albert” were created.
Upon entering the light-flooded and spacious rooms, you can feel the cosy atmosphere. Most of the rooms have a balcony, each room has a TV with digital satellite and Sky, safe, minibar, sitting area, Wi-Fi, direct dial telephone, bathroom with hairdryer, bidet, bath, and/or a shower.
Vitalhotel Dosses will continue to evolve and be further developed through new and modern touches also in the future. Let us surprise you anew, again and again!
