Rosewood Hong Kong has opened on the city’s iconic waterfront, offering business travellers access to the heart of the newly-developed Victoria Dockside district as well as the rest of this dramatic destination.

The Kohn Pedersen Fox-designed, 65-storey exterior of the new hotel pays homage to the city’s impressive verticality.  Renowned hospitality designer Tony Chi of New York studio tonychi has created an immersive experience for a new age of elevated residential hotel living. A homage to Rosewood’s origins as an aristocratic manor, Chi has conceived the entire hotel as a “vertical estate” which incorporates significant green spaces and outdoor areas throughout.

New Levels of Luxury

Generous space and residential luxury are the hallmarks of Rosewood’s 322 light-filled guestrooms, which start at 53 square metres and include the Grand Harbourview Rooms, boasting panoramic views of Hong Kong Island. Elevated homely comforts include curated interior details, considered amenities, generous marble bathrooms with a freestanding soaking bath, separate, freestanding vanities and twin showers, as well as spacious walk-in closets.

Rosewood Hong Kong is home to the highest number of suites of any Hong Kong luxury hotel and also some of the largest.  The 91 suites, starting from 92 square metres, offer carefully curated stays, bespoke services, and inspired interiors. Suite guests enjoy exclusive services including access to Rosewood’s Manor Club executive lounge, personal butler service, monogrammed pillowcases and robes, and personalised amenities from arrival to departure. On each floor, the 123-square-metre Grand Harbour Corner Suites offer glittering panoramic harbour views from every vantage point.

Stunning Signature Suites

In addition, Rosewood Hong Kong features 18 of the most outstanding signature suites in the metropolis, each with its own unique character. The crowning jewel amongst them, the 1,000-square-metre Harbour House boasts spectacular views from private sky terraces on the 57th level and unique décor and design. Enhancing the lavish interiors, a garden oasis features harbour view sun decks and private lap pools.  Located on the same floor, the Harbour House and Garden House can be combined, offering an entirely private five-bedroom retreat complete with a state-of-the-art private gym.

More than 80 per cent of Rosewood Hong Kong’s rooms boast standout harbour vistas, with the remainder featuring verdant Kowloon Peak views overlooking the fabled Lion Rock and scenic mountains. Generous “salons” on each guestroom floor from the 24^th level up feature carefully selected objets that reflects Hong Kong’s richly layered past. The new hotel also promises to be a living gallery with masterful pieces throughout the property by internationally acclaimed artists Henry Moore, Damien Hirst and Bharti Kerr, as well as mainland China’s Wang Keping and homegrown Hong Kong artist Wilson Shieh. Significant works are juxtaposed with an eclectic, whimsical approach to decorative arts throughout the hotel.

With its prime position on the 40th floor affording spellbinding Victoria Harbour views and multiple outdoor terraces, Rosewood’s signature executive lounge concept, the Manor Club, extends a sense of residential refinement to suite stays. The Manor Club offers 24-hour, all-encompassing personalised service as well as a host of auxiliary amenities and exclusive spaces.

Captivating Dining

Each of Rosewood Hong Kong’s eight dining concepts possesses a distinctive character and showcases creativity and a contemporary interpretation of accessible gastronomy and refined beverage craft. Holt’s Café elevates traditional Hong Kong dining culture to an upscale, lively contemporary experience with glamorous interiors and a diverse mix of comforting creations marrying Cantonese dishes with international influences.

The Legacy House is Rosewood Hong Kong’s monument to nuanced Cantonese cuisine, paying homage to Dr. Cheng’s significant life with an emphasis on regional Shunde cuisine, while DarkSide bar is destined to become Hong Kong’s most sought-after destination for premium drinks in a handsome setting, offering speciality cocktails, coveted vintage cigars, a choice selection of wine and spirits, and nightly live jazz sessions. 

The Butterfly Room, Rosewood Hong Kong’s all-day lounge, invites guests to enjoy refined continental breakfasts, chic coffee breaks, sophisticated pre-dinner drinks and small plates, and is joined by the The Butterfly Patisserie, modelled after a high-end jewellery atelier, breathtaking centrepieces of tiered cakes and rows of artisan gelatos and sorbets take centre stage.

Meetings & More

The hotel’s 3,200 square metres of expansive meetings and event space are enhanced by one of Hong Kong’s few truly private garden venues. Bathed in natural light that floods through its picturesque windows, a series of beautiful spaces on the third floor and fourth floors includes the pillarless Grand Ballroom, Pavilion and Orangery. With an accent on residential luxury, all event galleries offer distinguished, versatile meeting spaces with floor-to-ceiling windows coupled with a grandiose private kitchen and entertaining area.

In addition to Rosewood Hong Kong’s outdoor infinity pool and state-of-the-art fitness centre overlooking the harbour, the property will host the first urban outpost of Asaya, Rosewood’s signature integrative wellness offering, in Autumn 2019. Set over two dedicated floors, Asaya will revolve around specific individual wellness goals supported by comprehensive programming, with a membership programme that aims to build a sense of community both for local residents and global guests alike.
