Rosewood Hong Kong

My first memory of Rosewood Hong Kong is, in all honesty, its women-only speakeasy, XX Bar – at my visit, the only guys around were the mixologists. There were fluffy pink slippers to borrow as I sipped my ‘Radha’ cocktail, a strawberry, plum, and Monkey Shoulder single malt concoction named for Rosewood’s ultra-suave President, Radha Arora.

Rosewood Hotels & Resorts has opened its newest property in the heart of Hong Kong’s Victoria Dockside district, the Rosewood Hong Kong. Occupying 43 levels of a multi-use tower, the showpiece of the brand’s highest aspirations epitomises Rosewood’s essence and represents the complete manifestation of a differentiated and modern expression of ultra-luxury hospitality.
