Rosewood Shanghai to join luxury family

Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, which manages one-of-a-kind luxury leisure properties, has been appointed by Shanghai-based property development company, Lonsen Land Group, to manage Rosewood Shanghai, which promises to be a city landmark.

This new hotel in Jing’An district and Suhewan area, will break ground in 2022, and is expected to open in 2028.

The announcement of Rosewood Shanghai underscores the brand’s selective growth strategy in Asia and across the world's capitals, as well as the strength of its impressive property pipeline, which is now the most robust in Rosewood’s history.

The mixed-use project is designed by renowned international studio Foster + Partners.

Occupying the top floors of the 320 meter building in the city’s Puxi district, the hotel will deliver a special design conceived to showcase its expansive views of the metropolis. In keeping with the Rosewood's guiding A Sense of Place philosophy, the destination’s storied history, rich culture and dynamic spirit will serve as additional inspiration for the property’s design ethos and bespoke programming.

“As we continue to grow the brand throughout Asia and specifically mainland China, Shanghai has long been a priority destination in which to plant the Rosewood flag,” said Sonia Cheng, chief executive of Rosewood Hotel Group.

Rosewood Shanghai will offer 200 guestrooms and suites, five food and beverage establishments and Asaya, Rosewood Hotels & Resorts’ revolutionary wellness concept.

“For many, Shanghai is known as “Mo Du”, the Magic City; cherished for its rich cultural heritage, modern lifestyle offerings and captivating social scenes,” says Ruan Xingxiang, chairman of Lonsen Land Group. “With the brand’s A Sense of Place philosophy and referencing to the success story of its trophy property in Hong Kong, Rosewood Hotels & Resorts makes an ideal partner of us to reinvent Shanghai’s charm as a destination to the affluential explorers from around the world.”

Rosewood Shanghai will join Rosewood’s collection of distinguished city and resort properties in Greater China, which currently includes Rosewood Hong Kong, Rosewood Beijing, Rosewood Sanya and Rosewood Guangzhou. Additional projects in development in the region include Rosewood Chengdu and Rosewood Ningbo, both set to open in 2023, along with Rosewood Shenzhen and Rosewood Taipei, which are planned to open in 2024.
