Today: Top 10 best Rosewood Hotels & Resorts in the world
Rosewood is one of my favorite hotel brands in the world. The Rosewood story began in 1979 when a historic mansion in Dallas, Texas, was transformed into an acclaimed, world-class restaurant and hotel – The Mansion on Turtle Creek – whose success was the blueprint for all subsequent Rosewood hotels and resorts. Today, Rosewood manages a distinctive collection of highly individual, luxurious, residential-style hotels across the globe, including world-famous properties such as The Carlyle in New York and Hôtel de Crillon in Paris. Led by a team of seasoned industry veterans, Rosewood's acclaimed attention to detail, proactive approach to environmental sustainability and dedication to relationship hospitality has earned the group numerous awards and accolades. Each property delivers a one-of-a-kind ambience and style, in which location, culture, history and geography are part of the fabric of the hotel, reflecting the company's "Sense of Place" philosophy. Here's my selection of the 10 best Rosewood Hotels and Resorts in the world.

Rosewood Sao Paulo is Brazil's newest hotspot, and it's buzzing with personality. Occupying a historic former hospital, Matarazzo Maternity, as well as a striking new vertical garden tower, the hotel is a love letter to Brazil, with a majority of the design materials both locally sourced and inspired by the country's diverse culture. The hotel's 160 Philippe Starck-designed rooms and suites showcase commissioned works by local artists complemented by modern amenities like marble bathrooms and rain showers. The four onsite restaurants, including Taraz helmed by acclaimed Chef Felipe Bronze serve sophisticated bites throughout the day. And on the rooftop, you'll find an infinity pool with bespoke handcrafted tiles and views overlooking the city's tranquil parks and tree-lined avenues.
