Aman opens reservations for refurbished mountain resort in Italy
Aman has opened reservations for the Aman Rosa Alpina in San Cassiano, Italy. The mountain resort will begin welcoming guests on July 25 following an extensive refurbishment.
Located in the Dolomites, the property originally opened in 1939 and most recently operated as an Aman partner property. In 2020, Aman announced plans to turn the Rosa Alpina into a fully branded Aman resort, closing the hotel for renovations in 2023.
According to Aman, the redesign aimed to preserve the Rosa Alpina's "alpine spirit," with timber, black metal accents and natural stone featured throughout.
The renovation has reduced the resort's room count from 52 to 50 accommodations. All guestrooms and suites have received a refresh and two new 1,615-square-foot Aman Suites have been added. The 3,014-square-foot Chalet Zeno has been reconfigured into two suites that can accommodate up to four guests.
Food and beverage options have been expanded to include an Italian grill, an all-day lounge, a breakfast room with live cooking stations, an evening lounge for cigars and aged spirits, and a wine library. A Japanese restaurant is expected to open in time for the winter season.
Other updates include a reimagined double-height arrival space, a new Aman Spa with three pools and a hot tub, and a ski lounge with heated boot racks and equipment rentals.
The property's owning family, Hugo and Ursula Pizzinini, will continue leading operations under the Aman brand.
The Aman Rosa Alpina will be Aman's second Italian location. The Aman Venice opened in 2013.

Samsung Makes New Free Offer To Galaxy S25 Edge Buyers
Samsung's new Galaxy S25 Edge is the slimmest ever Galaxy phone. One month after its launch and just weeks after the last serious Galaxy S25 discount, the Galaxy S25 Edge has already been included in its first major promotion. Samsung U.K. is running a familiar deal that gives away a free Galaxy Tab A9 Plus, worth £359 ($485), with all Galaxy S25 Edge purchases. This is alongside up to £468 trade-in value (more on this later), 2TB of cloud storage for six months, three months of Samsung Care Plus and 30% off select accessories. The trade-in values, free subscriptions and discounted accessories are commonly used makeweights in Samsung promotions. The headline deal here is the free tablet bundled with the phone. The Korean company has a habit of throwing in an expensive freebie with smartphones. The Galaxy Tab A9 Plus appears to be the most popular, but I have seen Samsung bundle a free Chromebook, free earbuds, a free Galaxy watch and even the Galaxy S25 itself given away for free. Readers of my deals stories will know that the sacrifice for these freebies is historically poor trade-in valuations compared to U.S. pricing. But, in an unexpected move, that appears to have suddenly changed. Samsung U.K. is now offering equivalent prices for used devices compared to Samsung U.S.—even beating American valuations in some cases. For example, U.K. shoppers will get £341 ($461.41) for their Galaxy S22 Ultra compared to the U.S. store's $500 price. Things get better with the S23 Ultra, which is priced at £449 ($607.54), beating the U.S. shop's $580 valuation. I don't know what inspired Samsung to u-turn on U.K. and European trade-in pricing, but there may be a clue in the Galaxy S25 Edge's early sales information. Samsung's new ultra slim Galaxy S25 Edge. According to its industry sources, SamMobile claim's that Samsung's early Galaxy S25 Edge sales are below expectations. The site also theorizes that the company's lack of sales data in Korea and pre-order deals—that improved as the days went on—are signs that the device hasn't sold well. This wouldn't surprise me because it is an entirely new device that doesn't have the history of the main flagship line behind it to inspire confidence in consumers. I'm also not entirely convinced the Edge will be around for the long run. A Samsung representative I spoke with explained that the company had to redesign essential components to fit into the Edge's smaller chassis. I suspect these new design methods will be repurposed into other flagship devices, like the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7. Samsung has done this before with the original Galaxy Note Edge phone back in 2014, which disappeared after one launch, with the curved screen technology being subsumed into the main Galaxy S line. The combination of the Edge potentially not selling widely, the newly enhanced trade-in prices, and the possibility that it is a one-and-done device, alongside this early freebie promotion, could mean more aggressive discounts on the horizon.

ECB should watch out for price hikes from U.S. tariffs, Schnabel says
By Francesco Canepa DUBROVNIK, Croatia (Reuters) -The European Central Bank has made "great progress" in taming inflation but it should watch out for fresh price hikes caused by U.S. tariffs, ECB policymaker Isabel Schnabel said on Saturday. The ECB cut interest rates on Thursday for the eighth time in the past year and signalled at least a policy pause next month as it waits for the growth and inflation outlook to become clearer. Schnabel, the most prominent voice in the hawkish ECB camp that favours higher interest rates, celebrated inflation returning to the bank's 2% target. "I think we've made great progress, and as you know, our most recent inflation number was even below 2%," Schnabel told a conference in Dubrovnik. "Of course, that was to a very large extent driven by energy, but we do see that also the more persistent components are coming down and that is that is very, very good news." Croatian central bank governor and fellow hawk Boris Vujcic said the ECB was "nearly done" cutting rates provided that inflation settles at 2% as expected. But with the ECB now projecting inflation at 1.6% next year, other ECB policymakers, and especially Portugal's central bank governor Mario Centeno, are even worrying it may slow down too much. Schnabel said the ECB should rather switch its focus on possible, new "shocks", such as a global trade war waged by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration against its trading partners. She cited academic research showing that a 1% increase in producer prices around the world would result in a 0.2% increase, on average, in domestic producer prices in major economies. "Even in the absence of retaliation, the tariffs would be expected to be inflationary and even more so if there is retaliation," she said. As an example, Schnabel cited China's decision to restrict its exports of rare earths, which is forcing automakers and their suppliers to shut down production of certain models. China said on Saturday it was willing to accelerate the examination and approval of rare earth exports to European Union firms. Schnabel also cited ECB research showing that the effect of so-called trade diversion -Chinese producers shut out of the United States flooding European markets with their goods - was small. "If the effects were not small, you can be sure that there would be counteracting measures coming from the European Commission," Schnabel said. She argued all this suggested trade tensions would affect all economies, limiting the scope for the ECB's and U.S. Federal Reserve's monetary policies to diverge. "I expect this trade conflict to play out as a global shock that's working through both lower demand and supply," she said at the conference hosted by the Croatian central bank. "We can discuss which of the two effects on inflation is larger because that determines the net effect. But in any case, I would not expect a sustained decoupling (between the ECB and the Fed)," she said. Speaking on the same panel, Bank of England policymaker Megan Greene stuck a different tone, saying trade fragmentation should help bring down inflation in Britain, giving the BoE an "opportunity for monetary policy divergence going forward".
