Rosapetra Spa Resort is known for blending Cortina’s hospitality with a fresh and contemporary approach to alpine living, and the Henge Suite by Rosapetra is a new design-forward retreat inside one of Cortina d’Ampezzo’s most iconic destinations…
Framed by the UNESCO Dolomites, Rosapetra Spa Resort blends the intimacy of a mountain chalet with the service level of a grand hotel, offering an experience of complete wellbeing. Its 1,000-square-metre spa, among the most acclaimed in Italy, is a sanctuary dedicated to harmony of body and mind, featuring sensorial pathways, personalised rituals and a philosophy that celebrates the balance between nature and regeneration.

Within this setting, Henge has introduced a suite designed as a complete wellbeing experience. Conceived for guests returning from a day on the slopes or from the trails of the Dolomites, the space offers a private pause where time slows and the atmosphere invites warmth, silence and ease.
The suite unfolds as a natural sequence of spaces. A generous living area and fireplace lead into the bedroom and a dedicated wellness zone with a sculptural bathtub and private sauna. The experience extends outdoors onto a fifty square metre terrace with uninterrupted views of the Tofane, creating an unbroken dialogue between interior calm and alpine landscape.

Rather than referencing traditional chalet codes, Henge approaches the mountain context through light, rhythm and texture. The design reflects the changing daylight of the mansarda, the contrast between soft and technical surfaces and a quiet, essential interpretation of the alpine mood.
Architect Isabella Genovese was given complete creative freedom. Without a formal brief, the request from Rosapetra was simply to translate its identity into a contemporary key. Genovese transformed a challenging lofted volume into a refined and recognisably Henge environment, defined by balance, natural light and material coherence.

The suite features several bespoke elements created specifically for the project. These include the LineJust boiserie in H Pale Gold, the Checkmate boiserie in Apuan Black, the Sirius system designed to house the television and the full design of the bathroom and spa area. Furnishings and surfaces were selected for visual continuity and tonal harmony, with pieces adapted or scaled to suit the architecture of the mansarda.
The atmosphere is designed to feel intuitive and enveloping. Soft lighting guides movement between the living area, fireplace, bed and wellness. Materials bring quiet warmth without excess. The suite is fully serviced by Rosapetra’s impeccable hospitality, with the option to dine privately and enjoy the space throughout the day and evening.
More than a place to stay, the Henge Suite by Rosapetra is conceived as a moment of total wellbeing. Every element, from the proportions to the surfaces, contributes to a single coherent mood that is instantly recognisable. Warm, sophisticated and essential.
