Cool Ski Resorts Around the World Are Getting Hot, New Hotels

From Niseko to Aspen, there are even more posh places to rest your head after a long day on the slopes.

The Park Hyatt Niseko will open in early 2020 in Kutchan in Hokkaido, Japan.

The rooms at Adler Lodge Ritten were modeled after rural Alpine dwellings, but these come with private saunas and balconies that overlook the majestic Rosengarten and the Latemar mountains. Nestled a short cable-car ride from the medieval Italian town of Bolzano, near the Austrian border, the resort’s main building has a wood-lined bar, restaurant, and spa. Two other structures have 10 junior suites each; separate single- and two-story chalets are also available. From €240 ($264) per person per night

High-end hotels are making their presence felt in this booming powder paradise, consistently ranked the best ski destination in Asia. When the 100-room Park Hyatt Niseko opens in early 2020, it’ll have ski-in, ski-out facilities, oversize guest rooms with views of Mount Yotei, and a central location in Hanazono, the most recently developed part of the Niseko United area. There’s also a 5,600-square-foot ski valet in the lobby and five drinking and dining venues. From 115,000 yen ($1,075) per night
