Rosa Alpina

Jean-Michel Gathy to redesign Rosa Alpina

Italian mountain retreat Rosa Alpina is undergoing an extensive refurbishment, which sees it set to reopen in the 2024/25 winter season as a fully-fledged Aman property.

The refurbishment of Rosa Alpina – which will include a complete remodelling of all guestrooms – will be overseen by long-time Aman collaborator Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston Architects. With an emphasis on space, the current 52 rooms and suites will be reduced to just 50, each varying in size and layout. Two 150 m² Presidential Suites will form the most spacious room category, alongside the existing 280 m² Chalet Zeno, a private refuge accommodating up to six guests.

Architectural enhancements to the exterior of the hotel and interior communal areas will allow for a more extensive culinary offering, with the addition of private dining spaces. The wellness offering, meanwhile, will be extended to almost double the original size and reconfigured to incorporate an outdoor swimming pool and jacuzzi, as well as a new treatment menu. 

Once reopened as a fully branded Aman, the hotel will continue to act as a springboard into over 1,200 kilometres of slopes. 15 of Aman’s properties are located within or close to Unesco-recognised sites, hence carefully considering the property’s natural surroundings throughout renovation will be a task that the brand is well familiar with.

Upon opening, the hotel will remain under the leadership of the Pizzinini family, who have presided over Rosa Alpina for three generations. The long-term partnership with Aman, agreed in November 2020, sees the family set to continue their work alongside the brand’s hospitality expertise.
