We explored the Dolomites a few years ago (review) and stayed at the Golden Rose Karthaus at the end of our trip. I used Hyatt points during that time to book this hotel and now it is part of the Hilton/SLH affiliation (link).
What brought on this travel memory?
We were remembering the delicious complimentary evening cake served at this hotel every day for guests. The cakes were very tasty and served in generous portions with complimentary hot beverages.
Goldene Rose Karthaus
The hotel is in a beautiful location, completely surrounded by mountain peaks and is a popular winter destination for skiing on the nearby Val Senales glacier. The entire hotel has a very unique wood construction, and the rooms are very well decorated. We originally booked a superior room, but the front desk upgraded us to a Junior Suite for being a Hyatt member.
Junior Suite
When we went to the room, we were surprised to find a Finnish sauna in the bathroom, which we have never experienced in any hotel in the past. I wish more hotels included saunas in the suites which is a great way to relax after a long day of hiking or skiing.
Breakfast
The free breakfast was very good with our choice of eggs, and oatmeal which can be ordered from a menu.
Wellness Area
The hotel also has a separate detached area with two hot tubs and an enclosed area to sit and read some books. We were having so much fun with our private sauna that we did not feel the need to walk to the hot tubs. The controls for the sauna were very easy and it heated up in 10 minutes.
Conclusion
Goldene Rose Karthaus is located in the heart of the Senales Valley and is a perfect place to enjoy nature throughout the year. I am glad it is always available to book with points via Hilton and I can’t wait to return there during my next Dolomites trip.
