Rosewood Hangzhou Unveiled With Ole Scheeren and Neri&Hu

Rosewood Hotel Group announced on 10 May 2021 that it will open Rosewood Hangzhou, a 140-key hotel in Hangzhou‘s Wangjiang New City district. The release gave 2025 as the opening year; Rosewood has since titled its own update “Rosewood Hangzhou to Open in 2026”.

The hotel will occupy a standalone 16-storey building of 25,000 square metres designed by Büro Ole Scheeren, with interiors by the Shanghai-based studio Neri&Hu. It sits within the 740,000-square-metre Wangjiang New City development, which also includes a K11 Art Mall, offices, luxury residences and cultural attractions.

Of the 140 rooms, 17 are suites, and suite guests will have access to a Manor Club lounge. Plans include an all-day bistro, a Chinese restaurant and a speciality bar, plus a hybrid concept combining a flower shop, lounge and patisserie. Facilities cover a fitness centre, an indoor pool with hydrotherapy areas and 1,100 square metres of event space, including an 800-square-metre ballroom. The project targets LEED and WELL certification.

“We are thrilled to further our presence in China and bring a new level of luxury hospitality to one of its most alluring cities,” said Sonia Cheng, Chief Executive Officer of Rosewood Hotel Group. At the time of the announcement, the hotel was Rosewood’s ninth property in Greater China and its 17th in Asia, part of a pipeline of five hotels in mainland China.
