The Dolomites’ Aman Rosa Alpina reopens following complete redesign

Aman’s first property in the Italian Alps has officially opened in San Cassiano following a complete reimagining of the historic Rosa Alpina hotel

Set in the village of San Cassiano, in Italy’s UNESCO-listed Dolomites, Aman Rosa Alpina has reopened following a complete transformation led by Aman and architect Jean-Michel Gathy. 

The hotel has long been known for its discreet charm and close proximity to the Alta Badia ski region, operated for three generations by the Pizzinini family. After several years as an Aman partner property, it is now fully integrated into the group’s global portfolio, showcasing a redesign that aims to preserve the spirit of the original hotel while bringing it in line with Aman’s hallmarks of privacy, intuitive service and serene design.

Design

“The reimagining of Rosa Alpina as Aman Rosa Alpina marks a meaningful chapter for our brand,” said Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO of Aman Group. “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 hotel’s 51 Rooms, Suites and Signature Suites draw inspiration from the raw beauty of the Dolomites. The largest – the 150-square-metre Aman Suite – includes two king bedrooms, ensuites with steam showers and a soaking tub, a dining area for six, and a large south-facing terrace. Several interconnecting suites are also available for families or groups.

Meanwhile, the outdoors reigns supreme in every space, with expansive balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows offering views across the landscape. Interiors layer Italian stone, textured plaster and natural timber with elements such as glass-enclosed fireplaces and walk-in wardrobes. Façades are clad in timber, with dark metal detailing and artisanal finishes throughout.

Dining

Led by Executive Chef Gianluca Salvato, Aman Rosa Alpina now offers six dining and bar venues. At the heart of the updated property is Il Salotto. This double-height space off the lobby serves as an informal gathering place with light fare during the day and cocktails with live music by night – a nod to the original piano bar. The Grill offers wood-fired meats, fish and artisanal pizzas, with terrace seating in the warmer months. The Heritage Room serves breakfast and functions as a private events space, and Di Vino Room, a reservation-only wine library, hosts private dinners and tastings. The Cigar Lounge offers a curated selection of cigars and aged spirits, and Akari, opening later this year, will present a refined shabu shabu (hot pot) dining experience with a Japanese menu and rare sake pairings.

Wellness

Spanning two levels and 1,684 square metres, the Aman Spa is designed to immerse guests in the stillness of the surrounding peaks. Facilities include seven treatment rooms, a 20-metre outdoor infinity pool, an indoor pool, a family pool and hydrotherapy options including a Finnish sauna, steam bath, jacuzzi and cold plunge pool.

A gym and yoga studio are complemented by a Zen Garden, hair and nail salon, and two medical treatment rooms, with signature treatments – including the Alpine Muscle Relief Massage – tailored to active guests returning from the outdoors.

Activities

The property also serves as a gateway to over 1,200 kilometres of ski terrain in winter, with the hotel connecting directly to the Dolomiti Superski area via the Piz Sorega lift, with a Ski Butler on hand for fittings and transfers. A dedicated Ski Lounge includes heated boot racks and equipment storage, with ice climbing, snowshoeing, winter hiking and ice skating also available. 

Guided hiking, ferrata climbing and mountain biking and golf at the nearby Alta Badia course are on offer in the summer, with guests also enjoying exclusive access to two private mountain cabins, owned by the Pizzinini family, where chefs will prepare wood-fired lunches as part of full-day excursions. Indoors, three private cinema rooms and separate Kids and Teen Rooms cater to families.
