Accommodations

Bold design with a Dolomite soul.

Ancora's thirty-eight rooms and suites are the work of Vicky Charles of Charles & Co, the studio behind much of Soho House's signature look. Every room is different but all share the same design language: dark wood, plush textiles, crystal sconces, and beds tucked into alcove nooks, with all fixed woodwork custom-produced by Molteni&C. Bathrooms lean into warm sand tones with gold fixtures and distressed mirror details.
