Rosewood Baha Mar Appoints Regional Vice President Daniel Scott as Managing Director

Longtime Rosewood leader and Regional Vice President brings more than two decades of experience guiding some of the brand's most celebrated luxury resorts

JULY 20, 2026

Nassau, The Bahamas – As Rosewood Baha Mar prepares to enter its next decade, the resort is ushering in a new chapter of leadership with the appointment of Daniel Scott, Regional Vice President, Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, as Managing Director. A respected Rosewood leader whose career spans more than two decades, Scott brings a proven track record of elevating some of the brand's most celebrated destinations, cultivating exceptional teams, and creating meaningful connections between luxury hospitality and local culture.

While this appointment marks a new chapter for Rosewood Baha Mar, it is far from a new beginning. As Regional Vice President, Scott has worked closely with the resort's leadership team over the past several years, helping shape its strategic direction while supporting Rosewood's growing portfolio across the region. His deep familiarity with the property, its associates, and its vision makes this appointment a natural progression as Rosewood Baha Mar continues to strengthen its position as one of the Caribbean's premier luxury destinations.

Scott will continue to serve as Regional Vice President alongside his role as Managing Director of Rosewood Baha Mar. In his regional capacity, he provides strategic operational leadership across Rosewood Baha Mar, The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel, Rosewood Washington, D.C., Kona Village, A Rosewood Resort, Rosewood Bermuda, Rosewood Little Dix Bay, and Rosewood Le Guanahani, while supporting the continued growth of Rosewood's East Coast and Caribbean portfolio. As Managing Director, he will oversee all aspects of Rosewood Baha Mar's operations, guiding the resort's continued evolution while deepening its connection to Bahamian culture, community, and craftsmanship.

Throughout his career, Scott has led some of Rosewood's most iconic destinations through defining moments. Most recently, he oversaw the celebrated reopening of Kona Village, A Rosewood Resort, restoring one of Hawaiʻi's most beloved resorts after nearly a decade of closure. Under his leadership, the legendary property was thoughtfully reintroduced as a world-class destination while honoring the traditions, history, and natural beauty that have long defined its sense of place.

Previously, during nearly a decade as Managing Director of Rosewood Mayakoba, Scott helped elevate the Riviera Maya resort into one of Mexico's most acclaimed luxury destinations, earning international recognition for its exceptional service, culinary innovation, and environmental stewardship. His leadership extended beyond the resort itself through the establishment of Centro Educativo K'iin Beh, a bilingual nonprofit school dedicated to expanding educational opportunities for children and families in the Riviera Maya. The initiative reflects his belief that hospitality should create a lasting, positive impact wherever Rosewood calls home.The experience culminates with a sustainably packaged gourmet lunch, crafted by the culinary team at Café Boulud The Bahamas. The lunch will feature locally sourced ingredients, eco-friendly packaging, and a commitment to minimizing environmental impact, aligning with Rosewood Baha Mar's sustainability efforts.

"I am honored to step into the role of Regional Vice President and Managing Director at Rosewood Baha Mar. It has been a privilege to partner with the team over the past six years.  I am a tremendous admirer of the soul and spirit of the people of The Bahamas. I look forward to collaborating with the team to elevate the guest journey as we prepare to celebrate our tenth year. Rosewood Hotel Group is in a moment of thoughtful expansion, and it is an honor to lead the East Coast and Caribbean region to ensure we maintain our status as the premier ultra-luxury hospitality brand in the world." - Daniel Scott, Regional Vice President and Managing Director, Rosewood Baha Mar

“Daniel's leadership, operational expertise, and deep understanding of Rosewood's guiding principles make him exceptionally well suited to lead Rosewood Baha Mar into its next chapter as the resort approaches its tenth anniversary," said Jillian Katcher, Vice President of Operations, Americas, Rosewood Hotel Group. “Throughout his career, he has demonstrated an extraordinary ability to elevate iconic resorts while cultivating exceptional teams and fostering authentic connections with the communities they serve. We are confident his vision and leadership will continue to strengthen Rosewood Baha Mar's position as one of the Caribbean's most distinguished luxury destinations.”
