Aman Rosa Alpina welcomed guests from July 24, 2025, in the village of San Cassiano, Alta Badia, in the UNESCO-protected Dolomites. The property was the historic Rosa Alpina, run by the Pizzinini family since 1939, and underwent a complete redesign by Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston, Aman's longstanding collaborator.
The resort comprises 51 rooms and suites, including two 150-square-metre Aman Suites, plus the reconfigured Chalet Zeno as a private two-suite hideaway for up to four guests. Dining venues include an Italian grill, an all-day lounge, a dedicated breakfast room with live cooking stations, a wine library for private tastings, and a cigar and spirits lounge; the Japanese restaurant Akari serves shabu-shabu in winter.
Spa, cinema, and the slopes
The new Aman Spa offers three swimming pools, a Jacuzzi, and alpine-inspired treatments, plus three private cinemas, games rooms, and a ski lounge with heated boot racks. Winter access means direct entry to the Dolomiti Superski area, one of the world's largest interconnected ski domains, from December to April; summer and autumn bring hiking and mountain activities from June to October.
The original hotel's St. Hubertus restaurant was a longstanding three-Michelin-starred institution under the family era, a culinary legacy the reborn resort carries forward; no current Michelin rating for the resort's restaurants has been verified. Chairman and CEO Vlad Doronin called the opening the realisation of a vision years in the making, to honour the legacy and elevate the mountain retreat. It was named among the best new Alpine hotels for the 2026 ski season by National Geographic Traveller (UK).
A note on the calendar: this is not a 2026 opening. Aman Rosa Alpina opened in July 2025, and it heads into its second winter season as the definitive Alpine retreat. The planned Mandarin Oriental Cristallo in Cortina, once expected around the same period, was officially pushed to 2027.
