Italian Dolomites fans, meet the newest luxury hotel in town.
Aman Rosa Alpina, located in the charming mountain village of San Cassiano, just opened its doors to guests on Thursday. The new accommodation is named after the historic Rosa Alpina hotel, which had been owned and operated by the Pizzinini family since 1939. Now, Aman has welcomed the property into its portfolio, preserving the tradition of the original mountain retreat while expanding its reach to promote the land’s beauty.
Designed by longtime Aman collaborator Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston, the alpine hotel features 51 rooms, suites, and signature suites, each drawing inspiration from the region’s beauty. Most rooms have expansive balconies, working fireplaces, and floor-to-ceiling windows to immerse guests in the one-of-a-kind views. The pièce de résistance is the Aman Suite; the property’s largest accommodation is comprising two king-bedrooms, ensuite bathrooms with steam showers and a soaking tub, a dining area fit for six, and a south-facing terrace.

The exterior pays homage to the natural landscape and local Italian craftsmanship, featuring facades clad in timber, dark metal accents, and artisanal details throughout the property. Gastronomy is spearheaded by executive chef Gianluca Salvato, with Il Salotto serving guests beverages by day and live music and cocktails by night.
At mealtime, visitors can enjoy the Grill, offering wood-fired meats, fish, and artisanal pizzas on a stunning open-air terrace. Private dinners in wine library Di Vino Room present expert-led tastings, and the Cigar Lounge showcases a curated selection of premium cigars and aged sprits. In the winter, Aman Rosa Alpina ventures east with Akari, a full Shabu Shabu restaurant serving Japanese hotpot and rare sakes.
The alpine retreat is also equipped with an over 18,000-square-foot, two-story wellness center. Aman Spa features seven treatment suites, a 66-foot heated outdoor infinity pool, two indoor swimming pools, and hydrotherapy facilities the likes of a Finnish sauna, steam bath, Jacuzzi, and cold plunge pool. And if you want to switch up your look on vacation, they’ve got you covered. The spa even features a dedicated hair and nail salon, as well as two medical treatment rooms, a Zen Garden, a fitness center and yoga studio, and a variety of massage therapies.

At the center of the hotel’s ethos are its outdoor activities. Aman offers guided hike tours in nearby natural parks, mountain bike adventures along forest routes, and golf at the nearby Alta Badia course. In the winter, the hotel’s Ski Butler service shepherds guests to the renowned Dolomiti Superski area, which boasts about 745 miles (1,200 kilometers) of groomed slopes and 450 lifts.
“We saw the opportunity to create a sanctuary that reflects both the heritage of the region and the essence of Aman,” Vlad Doronin, chairman and CEO of Aman Group, said in a press release. “Rooted in our brand’s commitment to timeless design, intuitive service and transformative experiences, Aman Rosa Alpina welcomes guests into a place of peace, privacy, and enduring beauty.”
