Aman has begun welcoming guests to its latest addition: Aman Rosa Alpina located in the mountain village of San Cassiano, in the heart of Italy’s UNESCO-protected Dolomites. The project was first foreshadowed in late 2020.A long-cherished retreat, the historic hotel emerges anew, reimagined by Aman from the ground up. Writing a new chapter, while honouring a legacy that dates back almost a century, the property opens with new dining concepts, elevated wellness amenities, and exclusive experiences. Offering unprecedented access to the Aman lifestyle, Aman Rosa Alpina establishes a new destination for brand loyalists and discerning travellers alike.
“The opening of Aman Rosa Alpina is the realisation of a vision that has been years in the making,” said Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO of Aman Group.“I first experienced the magic of this property as a guest many years ago and developed a lasting friendship with the Pizzinini family. What started as admiration evolved into a shared ambition – to honour the legacy but also elevate this timeless mountain retreat.
“With its exceptional location in the heart of the Dolomites, we saw the opportunity to create a sanctuary that reflects both the heritage of the region and the essence of Aman.
“Rooted in our brand’s commitment to timeless design, intuitive service and transformative experiences, Aman Rosa Alpina now begins its next chapter – welcoming guests into a place of peace, privacy and enduring beauty.”
Formerly operating as Rosa Alpina, now branded as Aman Rosa Alpina, the property’s storied past intertwines with the brand hallmarks and design aesthetic, led by longtime Aman collaborator renowned architect Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston. The result is one of understated elegance, a profound sense of peace and an unmatched connection to extraordinary natural surrounds.At Aman Rosa Alpina the great outdoors anchors every space, with expansive balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows offering immersive views onto the majesty of the landscape. Adding comfort, glass-enclosed working fireplaces, opulent bathrooms and features such as walk-in wardrobes are present in most rooms and suites, bringing a touch of classic European elegance.
The hotel’s 51 rooms, suites and Signature Suites, each draw inspiration from the raw beauty of the Dolomites.
