Henge announced the opening of the Henge Suite by Rosapetra, a new design-forward retreat inside one of Cortina d’Ampezzo’s most iconic destinations. Rosapetra Spa Resort, a five-star hotel overlooking the UNESCO Dolomites, is known for blending Cortina’s hospitality with a fresh and contemporary approach to alpine living. Its name recalls the enrosadira, the natural phenomenon that washes the Tofane peaks in shades of rose at dawn and dusk.
Within this setting, Henge introduces 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 50-sq.-m. 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 recognizably 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 recognizable. Warm, sophisticated and essential.
