Aman Rosa Alpina Opens Today in Italy’s Dolomites

Aman Rosa Alpina opens today in the mountain village of San Cassiano in northern Italy’s Dolomites.

Long run by the Pizzinini family, who first welcomed guests here in 1939, the hotel joins Aman’s portfolio in time for the Milan–Cortina Winter Olympics, slated to take place in February 2026. The reimagined Rosa Alpina (which is now the Aman Rosa Alpina) offers unparalleled access to Italy’s premier winter playground, while remaining firmly rooted in its quiet, mountain-town heritage.

“For our family, Rosa Alpina has always been our home as we are living onsite and hence, it is a place with deep meaning—shaped by the mountains, by tradition, and by the people who return year after year,” Hugo Pizzinini, the hotel’s managing director and co-owner, tells Travel + Leisure. “This new chapter with Aman is something we approach with great pride, as it brings together our history with a shared vision for the future. Aman’s focus on quiet elegance, respect for nature, and highly personal service makes it the right partner to carry Rosa Alpina forward, while keeping its soul and character very much alive.”

The redesign was led by renowned hospitality designer Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston, who has previously worked on several Aman hotels. The 51 guest rooms and suites—some outfitted with glass-enclosed fireplaces and walk-in closets—frame cinematic views of the Dolomites through floor-to-ceiling windows. The Aman Suite, the hotel’s largest accommodation, features two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a separate soaking tub, and a dining area.

As with every Aman hotel, wellness plays a central role. The spa features a 65-foot heated outdoor infinity pool, indoor pools for families and lap swimming, hydrotherapy facilities, including a Finnish sauna and cold plunge, as well as a slate of signature treatments.

The culinary program celebrates both the natural surroundings and local cuisine. Il Salotto, inspired by the hotel’s original piano bar, offers daytime coffee and evening cocktails alongside live music and panoramic mountain views. The Grill turns out wood-fired seafood, pizzas, and a standout bistecca alla Fiorentina, best enjoyed on the open-air terrace in the summer. Come winter, Akari, a new Japanese-inspired concept, will debut with hot pot and sake service. Guests can also book private tastings in the wine library, Di Vino Room, or linger in the Cigar Lounge.

Outside, the mountains beckon year-round. In warmer months, guests can hike, bike, or golf nearby, and in winter, ice climbing, snowshoeing, skating, and skiing await, with a ski butler on hand to assist with equipment and transfers to the slopes of Dolomiti Superski.

“Rosa Alpina had long stood as a quiet icon in the Italian Alps, defined by its natural beauty, discreet charm, and enduring appeal,” Vlad Doronin, owner, chairman, and CEO of Aman Group, tells T+L. “We recognized the potential to build on that foundation and bring it into the Aman constellation, guided by our principles of world-class design, privacy, and unparalleled service. With Aman now overseeing the day-to-day experience, Aman Rosa Alpina is the evolution of a storied retreat into a sanctuary that speaks to our guests’ desire for peace and timeless elegance.”
