Hotel Jan Maria

Hotel Jan Maria is a relaxed 3-star superior in a quiet, sunny corner of Canazei, with a friendly, family-run feel and a focus on simple comfort rather than fuss. Rooms are cosy and well kept, many with balconies looking towards the mountains, so you’ve got a comfortable place to crash after a big day on the slopes without paying for facilities you don’t need.

Food and relaxation are a big part of the experience here. Mornings begin with a generous buffet breakfast, and in the evening you can look forward to tasty, well-prepared local and Italian dishes, with the kitchen praised for accommodating special requests. After a day on the mountain, the small wellness centre is a real bonus, with Finnish sauna, Turkish bath and a Jacuzzi to ease tired legs, plus a cosy lounge and bar area where you can sit with a drink and plan the next day’s skiing.

Location-wise, it’s spot on for keen skiers. Hotel Jan Maria sits about 500 metres from the centre of Canazei and around 800 metres from the Belvedere cable car, which plugs you straight into the Sellaronda and the wider Dolomiti Superski area. You can be carving long, well-groomed pistes in minutes, then drop back into resort for a bit of après or a quick shop before heading “home” to a quieter, good-value base for the night.
