The unmatched luxury of Rosewood Hong Kong
Rosewood Hong Kong isn’t just a hotel — it’s an experience. A journey through time and space where luxury meets history as every moment is imbued with a sense of wonder and delight.
In the vast landscape of luxury accommodations across Asia, from the electric avenues of Singapore to the serene hideaways of Thailand and Indonesia, there exists a realm of opulence that transcends the ordinary. It’s a world where each hotel strives not just to provide comfort, but to redefine the very essence of indulgence. And nestled amidst the vibrant tapestry of Hong Kong’s skyline lies a newcomer to this elite fraternity — Rosewood Hong Kong — a beacon of sophistication that beckons travellers and locals alike to immerse themselves in its unparalleled allure.
From the moment one steps foot into the resplendent embrace of Rosewood Hong Kong, it becomes abundantly clear that luxury isn’t just a standard — it’s a way of life. With its impressive array of 413 exquisitely appointed rooms and suites, twelve tantalising dining venues, a state-of-the-art spa and wellness sanctuary, and a breathtaking infinity pool overlooking the iconic Victoria Harbour, the property leaves no stone unturned in its pursuit of perfection. For those seeking an elevated experience, the exclusive Manor Club offers a haven of indulgence and bespoke services, ensuring every whim is catered to with impeccable precision.
But what truly sets Rosewood Hong Kong apart isn’t just its lavish amenities or stunning vistas — it’s the seamless fusion of history, heritage and modernity that permeates every corner of the hotel. From the majestic art gallery-like lobby adorned with captivating masterpieces to the subtle yet meaningful tributes to the Cheng family’s illustrious history woven throughout the property, every detail tells a story — a story of reverence for the past and a celebration of the future.
Take, for instance, the hotel’s location, once the site of the esteemed New World Centre — a bustling waterfront hub of entertainment, commerce and culture that was once the jewel in the crown of the Cheng family’s property empire. Now, as Rosewood Hong Kong stands proudly on this storied ground, it pays homage to this legacy while forging new memories and experiences for its guests. As you wander through its corridors, you’ll encounter nods to the Cheng family’s deep-rooted passions and traditions — from elegant depictions of horses and vibrant racing posters to traditional Chinese decorative motifs symbolising balance, harmony and good fortune.
But luxury isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about the experience. During my stay at Rosewood Hong Kong, I was fortunate enough to experience the epitome of luxury in the form of a Grand Harbour View Room on the 39th floor. From the sumptuous Loro Piana fabric adorning the walls to the opulent marble bathroom and the exquisite artwork by Hong Kong artist William Lo, every detail was meticulously curated to create a space that was both inviting and awe-inspiring — a true sanctuary amidst the hustle and bustle of the city.
For travellers seeking more than mere in-room respite, Rosewood Hong Kong beckons with an unmatched wellness oasis. Step into Asaya, the hotel’s expansive sixth-floor sanctuary, for a transformative journey. Consider indulging in a 60-minute Aroma Atelier massage to invigorate your senses before plunging into the dynamic energy of Hong Kong. Whether you’re yearning for a serene massage, luxurious hair and nail care, or an invigorating fitness class like vinyasa yoga or qigong, Asaya caters to your every need and desire.
Of course, no stay at the Rosewood Hong Kong would be complete without indulging in its culinary delights. With 12 dining concepts to choose from, ranging from Michelin-recognised Indian cuisine at Chaat to the culinary perfection of Italian dishes at The Dining Room by Blu House, there’s something to tantalise every palate. And for those seeking a quintessential Hong Kong experience, a high tea affair at the Butterfly Room is an absolute must. With its elegant ambience and delectable offerings, it’s no wonder this cafe is a sought-after destination in town.
But perhaps the crowning jewel of Rosewood Hong Kong’s culinary offerings is Darkside — a haven for aficionados of classic cocktails with a twist. Renowned for its award-winning libations and extensive selection of dark spirits, Darkside invites guests to explore new depths of flavour while soaking in the sophistication of its bar. And for those seeking a more intimate affair, XX — a hidden gem tucked away on the fifth floor — offers a sanctuary where one can fully immerse oneself in the pleasures of fine libations and convivial company within a setting that reimagines Hong Kong’s traditional men’s clubs with a modern twist.
