Architecture & Design
The feeling guests experience when they step into a Rosewood
hotel is the result of the company's painstaking attention to
detail during the months and years that comprise the development,
design and construction phase of a project. Rosewood's design
team supports the creative process behind each project to achieve
a perfect balance of form and function. Rosewood does not have
a rigid set of design and construction standards that demand conformation
in the manner that many large chain luxury brands do. Instead,
we strive to design each hotel specifically for its location,
destination and desired guest experience.
