    Rosewood Hong Kong

    City

    More than 80% of rooms have harbor views

    The pretty desserts at Butterfly Patisserie

    There is no shortage of luxury at this Hong Kong hotel, which recently opened in the VictoriaDockside arts and design district. With amazing water views, multiple restaurants and loungesand two floors dedicated to Rosewood’s “Asaya” wellness program, there’s something foreveryone. Including those who want to stay for more than just a few days, thanks to theproperty’s Rosewood Residences, which cater specifically to longer visits

    Location:

    Overlooking the iconic Hong Kong skyline,this65-story hotel is located in the VictoriaDockside arts and design districton Victoria Harbor. About 30 minutes from Hong KongInternational Airport, the property is also close to the ferry terminal and the metro. Don’t want to deal with a taxi or not planning to rent a car? The hotel has cars, including a Range Rover and Jaguar XL, and can arrange your chauffeured ride.

    Vibe:

    It’s stylish luxury coupled with great water views at this property. In fact, the hotel truly maximizes its waterside location, with harbor views from the majority of its rooms, (we’re not kidding: It’s more than 80 percent of them) as well as many of the restaurants and lounges. In total, there are 413 rooms and suites, including 91 suites. Rooms offer a contemporary design, with natural tones and well-placed pops of color, and amenities ranging from walk-in closets to soaking tubs, and more. There are 18 “signature suites” opening soon, including the 57th floor “Harbor House,” where you’ll find a private pool, gym, and terrace. If you’re planning to be in Hong Kong for a while, consider the 186 Rosewood Residences—part of the hotel and created for longer stays—which has its own entrance, pool, and fitness center.

    Why We Love It:

    Along with the location (read our feature story on Rosewood Hong Kong for an in-depth look), you’ll find great dining and wellness options, plus amenities like the exclusive Manor Club. Located on the 40th floor, access to the Manor Club comes when you book a suite (and certain rooms) and offers everything from 24-hour butler service to a game room and dining area, and more. As far as wellness goes, Rosewood’s “Asaya” wellness program is on hand here—the first in one of the brand’s city hotels. Opening soon, wellness offerings will be spread out over two floors of the hotel, and include an almost 3,000-square-foot, 24-hour fitness center, an outdoor infinity pool overlooking the Harbor, and a variety of tailored-to-you programs. When it comes to dining, there are eight restaurants and lounges on the property, ranging from international comfort food at Holt’s Cafe to Chinese and Shunde dining on the menu at The Legacy House to the gorgeously-designed desserts at Butterfly Patisserie and a new afternoon tea service at The Butterfly Room. When it’s time to unwind, there’s DarkSide, with its lush curtains and club chairs, that “is a sophisticated, timeless celebration of rare aged spirits, vintage cigars and confident classic cocktails complemented by sultry live jazz.” Those looking to host a meeting or event won’t be disappointed: There are 11 event spaces, with the over 10,000-square-foot Grand Ballroom that can hold upwards of 1,000 people.

     

    Why Go F1RST:

    If you book with First in Service, you’ll receive breakfast for two every day, a $100 hotel credit, a room upgrade, if available, and a welcome note on arrival.

    Rosewood Bangkok

    ROSEWOOD BANGKOK

    Bangkok, Thailand

    Urban chic

    City

    “Lennon’s” speakeasy holds 6,000 vinyl records

    The 10-story indoor waterfall

    Urban meets ultra-luxury at the newest Rosewood property in Thailand, this time in the city of Bangkok. Sleek and contemporary, with nods to Thai culture and art throughout, the centrally positioned property is changing the Bangkok skyline—and offers lots for guests to do while there.

    Location:

    Located less than 40 minutes from both international airports, the 30-story hotel is right in Bangkok’s busy business and shopping area—so expect lots of lux shops to visit post-meetings. For those who want to check out other areas of the city, there’s direct access to the Ploenchit BTS Skytrain from the hotel, too, making it quick to get to and from the hotel.

     

    Vibe:

    If you’re looking for a sophisticated and chic hotel with amenities that are sure to surprise, this 159-room property is a great choice. Outfitted in neutral hues—think whites and creams, with the occasional burst of blue or other bright color—there are nods to that feeling of “home,” with books and art on display in-room. The property also offers suites with up to two bedrooms, as well as three houses, which come equipped with their own pools. (An early morning dip sounds like a great way to start the day, if you ask us.) But there’s also a serene vibe—and both the long driveway that greets you upon entrance and the 10-story indoor waterfall (and other water attributes you’ll find) are examples of this, not an easy feat in a metropolis of 8 million people.

     

    Why we love it:

    Along with the calming nature of the space, there are features throughout the property that really set it apart from others. For instance, every floor has a different footprint—so one might have just one room, and another floor might have 12 rooms. Another example? Lennon’s, the speakeasy at the top of the hotel. Sitting on the 30th floor, with amazing floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the city, not only do you enter from a “secret” door as you would in the 1920s, but Lennon’s takes the concept to a whole new level, with over 6,000 vinyl records to choose from. Paired with vintage cocktails and era-specific Cuban cigars, it’s a nod to old-fashioned fun, but with a modern twist. There are three other dining destinations on the property—including the signature Nan Bei, which serves authentic Chinese cuisine. (When you visit, take in the unique and stylish light features in each of the restaurants—they are fantastic.) Art in general is an important aspect of the property: There is work by Thai artists, including Preecha Thaothong and Pinaree Sanpitak, as well as “Art Connection,” a rotating exhibit. You’ll also find an indoor-outdoor saltwater pool, 24-hour fitness studio and Sense, A Rosewood Spa, which offers Thai specialties. Plus, if you’re there on business, there are multiple meeting venues—from private dining rooms to spaces for large crowds of up to 200.

     

    Why you should Go F1RST:

    As part of the Rosewood Elite Program—a private, invitation-only program—booking through First in Service means you’ll receive complimentary breakfast daily, a $100 food and beverage credit, 15% savings on spa menu at Sense, a room upgrade if available, and a welcome amenity.
