Purchasing

While Architecture & Design monitors building and renovation, Purchasing works to evaluate and acquire the thousands of items of furniture, fixtures and operating equipment that a hotel requires. In addition to carefully selecting the unique pieces so critical to the ambience of each individual property, Rosewood is experienced at the effective selection and replacement of items, maximizing the cost-effectiveness of every piece. Rosewood's experienced professionals enable the company to serve as a valued member of the project team, bringing the project in on time and on budget.
