Following an extensive refurbishment led by Jean-Michel Gathy, Aman Rosa Alpina will reopen its doors in July 2025.
Situated in the Italian village of San Cassiano in the Dolomites, the historic mountain retreat balances heritage with contemporary appeal, while speaking to a connection with the destination. The hotel’s alpine spirit has been preserved through a considered use of timber, black metal accents and natural stone, while a reimagined double-height arrival space anchored by a bespoke 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 150m2 Aman Suites and reconfiguration of the 280m2 Chalet Zeno, now offering two larger suites as a private retreat for up to four guests.
Honouring its culinary-heritage, the resort will debut a range of new dining and socialising concepts including an Italian grill, an all-day lounge for afternoon tea and cocktails, and a dedicated breakfast room complete with live cooking stations.
There will also be a separate lounge serving 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 through indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a Jacuzzi and a thoughtfully curated treatment menu, complete with signature therapies which draw on the Dolomites’ restorative powers.
Aman Rosa Alpina will also introduce a range of expanded amenities, including three private cinemas and a ski lounge featuring heated boot racks and curated equipment rental. 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 reimagining of Rosa Alpina as Aman Rosa Alpina marks a meaningful chapter for our brand,” says Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO, Aman Group. “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.”
“The transition of the hotel into Aman Rosa Alpina marks an important and considered step forward,” comments Hugo and Ursula Pizzinini. “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.”
