Rosewood Hotels: A "Sense of Place" for the Modern Traveler

In a world where hotels are increasingly becoming homogenised, Rosewood Hotels & Resorts stands out as a brand that is committed to creating unique and authentic experiences for its guests. The brand's "Sense of Place" philosophy is reflected in everything from the hotels' architecture and design to the staff's training and interactions with guests.

In past years hotels were often designed to be as generic as possible, in order to appeal to the widest possible range of guests. This meant that they often lacked the character and personality that makes a hotel truly special. Rosewood hotels, on the other hand, are designed to reflect the unique character of the places they are located in. The architecture, the furnishings, and the amenities are all inspired by the local culture, and the staff are trained to provide guests with an authentic and immersive experience.

Take, for example, Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco, a stunning hotel set in a 16th-century castle in Tuscany. The hotel is surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards, and it offers guests the opportunity to experience the best of Tuscan culture, from wine tasting to truffle hunting.
