Rosewood Abu Dhabi first opened its doors in May 2013, marking the first presence of the Rosewood Hotels & Resorts brand in the United Arab Emirates. Defining new standards, this five-star hotel offers locals and tourists a distinct and personalized luxury lifestyle experience in the heart of city.Inspired by the heritage of its first hotel, Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek®, Rosewood has created a collection of residential styled properties that pair the bespoke service and impeccable attention to detail that was once enjoyed only in the finest of homes. Each hotel and resort embodies Rosewood's A Sense of Place® philosophy by reflecting the spirit of its unique locale – the history and heritage of country and culture, the environment and its people – and by encouraging personal, authentic journeys to unfurl across a living canvas that is unexpected, dynamic and always exquisite.Rosewood Abu Dhabi’s interior, designed by the award-winning firm BBG-BBGM, warmly welcomes guests. The lobby is bordered on one side with a flowing water feature and on the other with a dramatic wall of art to draw guests into the space with warm tones, clean lines and sleek materials. The sophisticated design is juxtaposed with comfortable furnishings and flowing fabrics in warm colors reminiscent of a local souk, an open-air marketplace. Throughout the hotel, traditional Middle Eastern textiles and details are complemented with modern lines and sleek architectural elements. The hotel design is a study in contrasts and sets the standard for luxury design in Abu Dhabi.
