We first came to know Rosewood Hotels in Dallas with their flagship Mansion at Turtle Creek and Crescent Hotel that are still the foremost of Big-D luxury. The brand offered continual additions from the Las Ventanas al Paraíso and Laurance Rockefeller’s Little Dix to NYC’s The Carlyle and Hotel Georgia in Vancouver. Now the brand is honing its marketing identity as well as adding a line-up of celeb curators like James Perse, Nina Garcia, Simon du Pury and Dr. Condoleezza Rice who all offer tips on local offerings unique to each property. As for what’s next on the development horizon, Rosewood will be opening in London this fall, Beijing next year and locations in Dubai, The Bahamas, Phuket and Bali within the next three calendar cycles.
