Aman Rosa Alpina: Reservations Now Open

• The beginning of a new era in the heart of Italy’s Dolomites

27 May 2025 – Resting in the picturesque village of San Cassiano in Italy’s UNESCO-protected Dolomites, the historic mountain retreat of Rosa Alpina will soon emerge anew, reimagined as a fully-fledged Aman sanctuary. Known for creating hotels and resorts that are sensitive and authentic to geography, design and cultural heritage - every Aman experience gently unfolds with simplicity and elegance providing an immediate sense of belonging. In anticipation of a 24 July opening, the pioneering ultra-luxury hospitality and lifestyle brand is pleased to announce that reservations for Aman Rosa Alpina are now open, welcoming guests for the highly anticipated summer season and forthcoming winter season. 

Following an extensive refurbishment penned by internationally acclaimed architect and long-standing Aman collaborator, Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston, Aman Rosa Alpina has been meticulously re-envisioned to future-proof its iconic status. Celebrating the enduring legacy of the Pizzinini family while exemplifying Aman’s DNA of privacy, serenity and unparalleled service, the design balances heritage with contemporary appeal, while speaking to a connection with the destination. Through considered use of timber, black metal accents and natural stone the hotel’s alpine spirit has been preserved, while a reimagined double-height arrival space anchored by a bespoke bar (inspired by Rosa Alpina’s original piano bar) creates a new, lofty sanctuary flanked by the surrounding peaks. 

The transformation also includes a complete remodelling of all guestrooms and suites, the introduction of two new 150-square-metre Aman Suites and reconfiguration of the 280-square-metre Chalet Zeno, now offering two larger suites as a private retreat for up to four guests. 

Honouring its culinary heritage, Aman Rosa Alpina will debut a range of new dining and socialising concepts on opening including an Italian grill, an all-day lounge for afternoon tea and cocktails, and a dedicated breakfast room complete with live cooking stations. In addition, there will be a separate lounge for evening indulgence with premium cigars accompanied by aged spirits. For those seeking a more private experience, expert-led tastings uncovering Italy’s culinary and wine culture will take place in a private wine library. For the upcoming winter season, Aman Rosa Alpina will introduce an additional restaurant, serving Japanese cuisine, with more details to follow. 

With a newly built Aman Spa, the brand’s distinct wellness philosophy is introduced to this unique mountain setting. Three swimming pools (two indoor and one outdoor), a Jacuzzi and a thoughtfully curated treatment menu, complete with signature therapies which draw on the Dolomites’ restorative powers, are set to rejuvenate the mind, body and spirit.  

Aman Rosa Alpina will also introduce a range of expanded amenities, including dedicated games rooms for children, teens and adults alongside three private cinemas. Elsewhere, the Ski Lounge features heated boot racks and offers curated equipment rental, ensuring a seamless transition between indoors and out. 

Speaking about the forthcoming opening Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO, Aman Group, said ‘The reimagining of Rosa Alpina as Aman Rosa Alpina marks a meaningful chapter for our brand. I first discovered this extraordinary property as a guest many years ago and developed a long-standing friendship with the Pizzinini family. What began as admiration quickly turned into a shared dream - to preserve and elevate the spirit of this unique place for future generations of Aman guests. The decision to partner and invest in the hotel was not only inspired by its unmatched location in the heart of the Dolomites, but to create a sanctuary that reflects both the culture of the region and the essence of Aman, through intuitive service, ultimate privacy and exclusive experiences.’

It follows that with Aman’s deep-rooted philosophy of connecting with the location, Aman Rosa Alpina will serve as an experiential gateway to the Dolomites’ year-round wonders through privileged access to over 1,200 kilometres of slopes in winter and endless outdoor adventures—from hiking and biking to climbing—during the warmer months. Exclusive to the property, is the Pizzinini family’s two private mountain cabins which will offer wood-fired lunch prepared by a private chef - the perfect finale to a guided hike.  Elsewhere, families will also be well catered for with a specially designed activity centre offering immersive experiences for multi-generations. 

As Aman Rosa Alpina begins this new chapter, the Pizzinini family - headed by Hugo and Ursula - remains at the helm. Speaking about the evolution of the property, they said ‘The transition of the hotel into Aman Rosa Alpina marks an important and considered step forward. Partnering with Aman allows us to honour the legacy of our family’s ownership and three generations of hospitality, while joining a brand renowned for its uncompromising attention to detail and deep reverence for place. Our commitment remains steadfast: Aman Rosa Alpina will continue to embody the spirit of the region, with the authenticity and excellence our guests have come to expect. As we embrace this exciting era, we look forward to welcoming new guests and reconnecting with those who have been part of our story for generations.’
