The Pizzinini family have been welcoming guests to the little village of San Cassiano since 1939. Tucked into a quiet Ladino-speaking pocket of the Italian Dolomites, the hotel spent decades earning a devoted following under the Rosa Alpina name before a top-to-bottom Aman renovation by architect Jean-Michel Gathy. And whilst the bones might be sparkly and new, the warmth remains: Hugo and Ursula Pizzinini still greet guests in the lobby, the resident pianist still plays nightly, and the mountains still turn pink at sunset. In winter, you're 11 minutes from some of the finest skiing in Europe and in summer, the hiking is endless. Oh, and the spa is exceptional, year-round!

The 51 rooms and suites are split between forest-facing (the more popular side, overlooking a brook and old, weathered barns) and village-facing (sunnier, with closer Dolomite views but a little more noise). Natural stone, pale hardwood floors and heather-grey textiles give everything a soothing, pared-back feel and every room has a glass-enclosed fireplace, a generous terrace and Aman's delicious bath products. The top-floor Dolomites Suite is magnificent and rewards with 360-degree panoramas and a private Finnish sauna, while Chalet Zeno, the largest option, spreads across 158 square metres with its own outdoor terrace.

Book a table at Enju, the winter-only shabu-shabu restaurant. You cook your own wagyu at the table and it's unlike anything else in the Alps.
The Rosa Alpina is in a village rather than on a secluded mountaintop, so don't expect classic Aman isolation. Some entry-level rooms are also quite compact for the price tag.
