We choose not to rent a car for our recent ski trip to Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. We were able to easily take the Cortina Express bus from the Venice airport and we were told by the hotel that there was a regular shuttle into town and ski buses to get to the ski areas. This was all true, but the hotel was a 30-40 minute walk out of town and the shuttle bus stopped running at 7:30 p.m., so we were forced to take a cab back from dinner every night. The one night that we couldn't find a cab, I called the hotel (as I had been instructed to do before we got there); I was initially told that there was nothing they could do because the shuttle had stopped running. I asked them to call a cab for us, which they did and we were able to get back without too much trouble. It would have been nice to be closer to the shops and restaurants instead of having to make every trip to town an expedition. The rooms were quite large and comfortable, with lots of storage space, although not elegant or upscale, as one would expect for the price we were paying. We only ate at the hotel restaurant one night and found it to be overpriced and not especially good. It is a fixed price menu, so if you're not really hungry, you still pay for a lot of food. One of the waiters put real pressure on us to order a particular wine and became very abrupt when we declined. The breakfasts were good. The hotel caters to families and there was a lot of hall noise and noise from the floor above, so even though it was out in the quiet country, it wasn't especially quiet. One reason we booked this hotel was because it had a hot tub, but we only used it once. It was a small portable, awkward to get into and crowded and we found the big bathtub in the room to be just fine. The staff was generally very nice and English was spoken.

Good service, nice hotel. If you rent a car from the airport you will really enjoy Cortina and your stay at Mirage. Is close enough to down town thus in touch with nature. I think is great in the summer :)
If you communicate with the receptionist and the manager, you will enjoy your staying.
Nice restaurant, good service.

I cannot get along with Italian program for anything (noon break and short evening). But I guess is ok for real sportsman (and women :).

Clean and cozy.

We were a group of 18 people from 11-82 years - staying at the Mirage. We had a varm welcome by the lovely couple running the hotel and the service was great througout the whole week. Nice, clean rooms (suites), excellent food - nice touch with champagne on the house before dinner. Nice location of the hotel - close to Cortina center, but still nice and quiet with lots of outdoor space. If we ever come back to Cortina, this is the place we will stay. Love the place and love the area - coming from Norway, we are used to nice nature and mountains, but this was spectacular. Thank you.

We booked a confort suite for 4. Accordingly to the hotel site we should get a 2 bedroom suite that could fit up to 6 people. It was perfect for me, travelling with two young girls.
The hotel sent a confirmation.
When we got to the hotel they didn't have the room and we had to stay in two separate small rooms, leaving two young children alone in a room in a different floor from ours.
We had a terrible experience in the hotel.
Don't recommed for anyone
