The highly anticipated opening of Hyatt Centric La Rosière marks the debut of the Hyatt Centric brand in France and the first Hyatt ski resort in Europe.

The idyllic property is situated in the French Alps in the center of Franco-Italian La Rosière, a popular skiing destination in the Tarentaise Valley known for its breathtaking natural landscape and proximity to Courchevel, Val d’Isère and Les Arcs ski resorts. 

“The hotel is ideally located to provide guests with a launch pad to discover the best the region has to offer, whether that be the more than 160 kilometers of piste on our doorstep, or exploring the charms and hospitality of a traditional Savoyard mountain village,” said Yannick Aubry, general manager, Hyatt Centric La Rosière.

The hotel’s 69 guestrooms and suites, including 12 specially designed family suites, boast under-floor heating and beautiful mountain views. For a day on the slopes, hotel services can arrange ski lessons, lift passes, heli-skiing excursions and more; afterwards, guests can unwind at the Summit Spa, featuring a swimming pool, sauna, steam room and outdoor hot tub.

The hotel’s La Tavola Italian Restaurant captures the essence of the local culinary scene and boasts an impressive list of wines, all derived from mountain regions. Brasserie H40 serves French brasserie-style dishes à la carte as well as a breakfast buffet, and the H40 Bistro Bar offers draft beer, cocktails and comfortable armchairs, alongside an open fireplace. Finally, Surus Lounge Bar offers the perfect setting to relax and catch up on news or email, offering coffee, tea, infusions and a collection of rums from around the world.

What’s New in Luxury Travel in Rome

Rome has always been a destination for art, history and culture, but, until recently, true luxury hospitality in the Eternal City was surprisingly limited. Five-star hotels existed, but the selection was small, often traditional and rarely pushed the boundaries of modern luxury. That’s changing fast. In 2025, a wave of new openings, high-profile renovations and bold hospitality concepts redefines what it means to stay in Rome. According to Mayor Roberto Gualtieri, Rome’s hotel occupancy far exceeds the European average, and Rome responded by investing more than 450 million euros in the city’s hotels in 2024 to meet the growing demand for exceptional experiences. Last month, I attended the inaugural edition of RISE Rome, a premier event dedicated to the city’s luxury hospitality sector, to catch up on the latest updates and newest trends shaping the city. Here are highlights from some of the city’s top stays.
