Hotel Olympia in Arabba. Very well situated to access some great passes, good food, and the bar staff very quickly learn what beer you like.
Anywhere on a T-junction or crossroads.
Why? It’s mountains, with bloody big lumps of rock in the way. A junction means you have a choice of directions to hoon out of the door in. Arraba is a typical popular choice.
As it’s a skiing / walking / driving / riding / hang gliding / climbing destination, the whole area is littered with hotels, all catering for tourists. They will not throw stones at you, if you arrive on a motorcycle. Do take a lock though.
Have a look through this section I have now copied your appeal into, to see if anything leaps out to grab you by the soft bits. Here is an example, along with a suggestion for ‘biker friendly’ hotels. Yes, it’s in foreign but hey ho.

The Dolomites are such a popular tourist area, that the internet is littered with hotels, many of which specifically mention ‘bikers’ in their blurb. Here is a tiny sample:

Bods on push bikes, like the same sort of roads and hotels: https://epicroadrides.com/cycling-blog/dolomites-bike-hotels-where-to-stay-dolomites-cyclists/
PS I have stayed in three different hotels in Arraba, none of which were the Olympia hotel suggested above. The three different hotels were all good. In fact, throughout the entire Dolomites, you’d probably struggle to find a really bad one, depending of course on what YOUR expectations are. As they cater for the ski season, many hotels have underground car garages, to keep your awesome steed safe, if that’s your thing.
My suggestion would be for you to work out which part of the Dolomites you plan to stay in and then just Google: Hotels in xxxxxx inserting the name of the place. Then pick the one or two you fancy and refine your search a bit more.
The hotels do get booked up, trust me on that. It is often a good idea to at least book something, say on Booking.com, which you can then maybe cancel, if you decide to stay somewhere else.

there's some listed in http://mrhotels.de/ which resolves to https://www.motorradundreisen.de/motorradhotel/ as nicked from one of Wapping's German touring guides
you can filter the hotels by country & region to get https://www.motorradundreisen.de/motorradhotel/Italien/Dolomiten/

Always fancied the look of this one , a few years ago it was a toss up between this and a night at the Bikers viewpoint on the Grosslockner

Madonna de Compiglio, lovely ski village which is vibrant in summer and has great restaurants and bars.
The only place i've ever stopped at in the Dolomites; and it was a few years ago; like others have said Arabba has fantastic rds in all directions; we stopped on our way down to Mugello one year.

I've stayed there (hotel Garni) and the hotel Malita across the road from it - both have underground parking.
Food, and beer, in the Malita was excellent.
Also the hotel de Lana up the Pordoi pass - food also excellent.
cltchspring, as you can see, the Dolomites area is littered with hotels.
Yes thanks for every one's input,
Ian.

I am currently sat in the Posta al Cervo hotel in Val Gardena. It is excellent. Clean, nice rooms, good food and run by a very nice family. It is inexpensive and I recommend it wholeheartedly.
That's all very well, but is it biker friendly.......
