The Rosewood Hong Kong

The Rosewood Hong Kong is situated on the Kowloon waterfront in the Tsim Sha Tsui district, serving as the crown jewel of the Victoria Dockside arts and design district. The hotel's location offers panoramic views of Victoria Harbour and the Hong Kong Island skyline. Guests can enjoy convenient access to major attractions like the Avenue of Stars and the Hong Kong Museum of Art, both of which are within walking distance. The hotel is also directly connected to the K11 Musea shopping mall and the East Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station, making it easy to travel around the city. Its position on the former Holt's Wharf site gives it a historic connection to the city's trading past. 

The design theory of the Rosewood Hong Kong, conceived by hospitality designer Tony Chi, is rooted in the concept of a "vertical estate" that embodies a deep "sense of place" in Hong Kong. Chi's philosophy, which he calls the "density of sensibility," focuses on creating a layered, residential, and emotional experience for guests rather than overt luxury. The 65-story building, designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), pays homage to the city's verticality and the legacy of the founding family. 

The Rosewood Hong Kong

's building was architecturally designed by the firm Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), while the interior hospitality design was completed by the New York-based designer Tony Chi.

The 65-storey skyscraper, which is a prominent feature of the Victoria Harbour waterfront, was designed by KPF to pay homage to the city's impressive verticality. The building is part of the larger Victoria Dockside development and stands at 284 meters tall.

For the interior, Tony Chi conceived the entire hotel as a "vertical estate," aiming to create a complete and immersive residential experience. His design incorporates significant green spaces and outdoor areas, blending mid-century opulence with a nuanced sense of place. The interior design is known for its detailed approach, using materials like deep wood grains, marble, and silk-covered walls, and features a significant art collection with works by artists like Henry Moore.

The Rosewood Hong Kong was developed by the Hong Kong-based property development company New World Development Company Limited. The hotel is an anchor of the larger Victoria Dockside arts and cultural hub redevelopment project, which was also spearheaded by New World Development.

The project was led by Adrian Cheng, the CEO of New World Development, while his cousin, Sonia Cheng, is the CEO of the Rosewood Hotel Group (the hotel's management company). Both New World Development and the Rosewood Hotel Group are part of the larger, privately owned Chow Tai Fook Enterprises business empire founded by their grandfather, Cheng Yu-tung. The 65-story tower that houses the hotel and residences was designed by the architectural firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF), with interiors by Tony Chi.

The hotel is a culinary destination with eleven different restaurants and bars. Notable dining venues include Holt's Café (a refined take on a traditional Hong Kong cha chaan teng), The Legacy House (Shunde Chinese cuisine), CHAAT (Indian street food), Bayfare Social (tapas-inspired gastro market), HENRY (an American grill and smokehouse), BluHouse (a casual Italian eatery with an upscale fine dining area called The Dining Room by BluHouse), The Butterfly Room (an all-day lounge known for afternoon tea), and DarkSide (a sophisticated jazz bar). 

For wellness and recreation, the hotel offers the first urban outpost of the signature integrative wellness concept, Asaya. Asaya features a full-service spa with various treatments, a modern fitness center with state-of-the-art equipment, and a 25-meter-long outdoor infinity pool. 

The hotel also provides extensive meeting and event spaces, including a large, pillarless Grand Ballroom on Level Three and flexible function spaces known as The Pavilion, which are designed in a residential style and host a variety of corporate events and social celebrations.
