Absolutely loved this hotel, the only downside is it is a bit out of the central town but as we had a car this was no issue (and they have a shuttle into and out of town if you need it). The rooms were really modern (a suite allows you to spread out your gear), the spa was great but the true standouts were the service and the restaurant. The staff were incredibly helpful, from arranging our ski equipment to lessons plus taking the time to explain everything to us despite the language barriers! The restaurant was so good we didn't eat anywhere else for our entire stay, plus the staff there are wonderful especially the female manager who makes a great martini. If you're after a hotel where you can relax and unwind after a big day on the slopes then I can't recommend this highly enough.

Btw - recommend hiring a car while in Cortina. There is a shuttle bus to take people between the slopes and back to town but standing in the cold after a day skiing just didn't look fun for the people that didn't get a car. A car also gives you a lot more flexibility to move around plus leave your normal shoes and clothes in the car in case you want to drop past town before going to your hotel.

Oh and if you're after English tv channels turn to the high 800s. Took us ages to work that one out, should have asked reception earlier lol.

A relatively new 4* about 2km to the south of the town center. Brand new in a modern chalet style appointed in excellent taste. But what makes this hotel very special is the 5* level of almost everything in a 4* package. Very personal, attentive service where nothing is a problem. Excellent nouvelle Italian restaurant with a young creative chef (make him happy and take the tasting menu!) -- but make reservations in advance in high season. Same for the spa (which is well done but understaffed in high season). Internet service is terrible but we weren't there to work so not so much of a problem. You need a car but since most come to Cortina by car it's actually nice to be a bit outside the bustle of the town. Anyone thinking Cristallo or Miramonti, forget them and go for Rosapetra. Thoroughly recommend and we will definitely be going back.

We stayed at Rosapetra as a stopover as the hotel we were booked in was full for our duration of stay- what an absolute pleasure the Rosapetra stay was- we had a lovely suite- spacious/clean/comfortable- the room was very luxurious - the staff were proffesional and helpful!!! Defintely highly recommendable - we will stay in NO other hotel in Cortina on future visits- LOVELY thankyou Rosapetra!!! You should have a 5 star rating

Very modern and new hotel in a very old school ski resort. Rooms might be smallish but they are very very cosy. Spa is fully equiped and the swimming pool was heated to a comfortable 30C. We had the halfboard package and we enjoyed the dinner every night. The staff was very helpful and cordial.

If i had to highlight weaknesses, i would say (a) the location: it 2Km outside Cortina (b) the breakfast buffet was a bit limited (would prefer some fresh fruit).

Overall our experience was wonderful and we are really happy to have chosen Rosapetra to spend Xmas 2012.
