Rosapetra Spa Resort is preparing to open for its first winter season under the stewardship of Relegance and The Unexpected Collection, the new Italian high-end hospitality brand founded by Antonio Onorato…
The 33 key boutique hotel overlooks the Tofane massif in the Ampezzo Valley, and whilst the property will retain its existing contemporary aesthetic, guests can expect a new and dynamic hospitality style – in both the hotel’s spaces and experiences. The design of Rosapetra Spa Resort is a unique combination of typical Alpine chalet with dolce vita style. Refined yet comfortable and welcoming, stone and local wood feature throughout the property, tastefully partnered with leather, steelwork, mirrors and ambient lighting that create an intimate and seductive atmosphere. These elements are visible in their fullest expression in the five new Dolomites Suites, where Swiss pine wood takes centre stage, ensuring guests restful sleep thanks to the material’s powerful natural calming properties. The generous suites feature a spacious living area with a lounge and dining room, as well as large terraces with views of the spectacular Tofane slopes.
The restaurant, also open to outside guests, will be an attraction from dawn until after dusk, thanks to an innovative new F&B concept. Executive Chef Fabio Manni pays homage to the classic flavours expected at high-altitude, such as black truffle, chestnuts, Jerusalem artichoke, and wild berries, but goes one step further to surprise visitors to Cortina this winter. Local produce from the region is partnered with an unexpected fish menu that brings something new to Cortina’s gastronomic scene.Terrazza26, the open-air lounge and bar named after the upcoming Winter Olympics Milan-Cortina 2026, will be the new winter hotspot for experimental cocktails and hands-on experiences, such as Shake&Drink led by Bar Manager Lucas Kelm, and evening aperitivos with live DJ sets.
At the heart of the resort is the spa, featuring a 12-metre indoor pool with far-reaching views of the Dolomites, Finnish sauna and an outdoor sauna, Mediterranean and Turkish bath, emotional showers and a cold pool. Guests can also tailor their wellness experience with the help of a Personal Spa Assistant.
