Penthouse ROSA APLINA, DOLOMITES, ITALY

The new Penthouse at Rosa Alpina was unveiled earlier this year, with interior design by Italian studio Vudafieri Saverino Partners. The result is classic alpine chic with contemporary finishes — think rich fabrics, timber with gold accents and statement pieces. The Penthouse, accessed by private elevator, is on the fourth floor with views of San Cassiano and the surrounding peaks of the Unesco World Heritage Dolomites. We think the best place to enjoy the captivating view is in the suite’s sauna with floor-to-ceiling windows. Within its 1,940 sq ft of space, you’ll find three suites, a living room, dining area, bar, kitchen and fireplace. Off piste For a unique and magical experience, spend one night in Rosa Alpina’s Trugnei cabin. It is completely secluded at an altitude of 6,500 ft in the heart of the Dolomites. There’s no Wi-Fi or cell reception, so you can truly disconnect and absorb the awe-inspiring surroundings. You can hike up to the cabin or be driven, and a barbeque is arranged for alfresco dining to watch the enrosadira , the Dolomites’ famous pink sunset. Rate from $6,035 per night Contact Hugo Pizzinini, general manager, info@rosalpina.it, +39 047 184 9500, rosalpina.it

Elite Tip If you’re traveling with a bigger group, Chalet Zeno has one master suite, one large suite and one deluxe room, a large yet cozy living room with a fireplace, kitchen, dining area and bar. We love the private garden with outdoor Finnish sauna and Jacuzzi
