I've been energized by my recent trip to the Middle East, where I had the opportunity to visit and connect with our amazing Rosewood Hotel Group associates in Rosewood Abu Dhabi and Doha, ahead of the highly anticipated Rosewood Doha opening. The warm welcome and the chance to engage directly with our teams, and their open sharing of stories, were truly invaluable. The perfect weather and the picturesque locations set the stage for meaningful conversations as we ascertained our #purpose and shared vision, and paved the way for the journey ahead to continue creating something truly special in our properties and communities. To see our associates, from every role and background, driven by such a strong sense of purpose, was a powerful reminder of why we do what we do. I'm proud of our teams, and I look forward to every step we take to continue crafting extraordinary experiences and moments. This trip has also underscored the exciting new chapter of Rosewood's strategic expansion into the Middle East region. Over a decade after debuting in Saudi Arabia with Rosewood Jeddah, we are thrilled to bring our ultra-luxury offerings to captivating new destinations like Doha, Riyadh, Shura Island, and Amaala. From Rosewood Doha and Rosewood Diriyah to Rosewood Red Sea and Rosewood Amaala, these upcoming openings will continue to strengthen our global presence and ability to deliver exceptional experiences for discerning travelers in this dynamic part of the world. I look forward to seeing how our passionate teams will bring these new properties to life, building on the energy and shared purpose that defines our Rosewood community.

Impatiently waiting for Rosewood Hotel Group in Dubai, and especially its announced Carlyle & Co.. Is there a timeline for the project, dear Sonia Cheng ? Carlyle in Hong Kong is my home away from home...
Your passion for connecting with your teams and fostering a shared sense of purpose is truly inspiring. The upcoming Rosewood openings in the Middle East sound extraordinary—each property adding to the legacy of crafting memorable experiences. Wishing you and your teams continued success on this exciting journey!
I remember my first stays in Saudi Arabia back in 1999 when stayed at Rosewood Riyadh (Al Faisaliyah & Khosama) and at Abha Palace by Rosewood… long time. It’s great to see the brand expanding in The Kingdom. Our guests will surely enjoy the Rosewood Hospitality.

5dWhat an inspiring reflection on your visit to the Middle East and the incredible work happening at Rosewood Hotel Group! The way you’ve highlighted the shared purpose and passion of your associates across such picturesque locations really captures the heart of hospitality. It’s exciting to see Rosewood’s strategic expansion in the region, especially with upcoming properties in such iconic destinations. Sonia Cheng I am curious about the recruitment approach for these new ventures, particularly for expats—how does Rosewood ensure alignment with its unique culture and vision when bringing in talent from diverse international backgrounds? The energy and momentum behind these projects are truly impressive, and I have no doubt Rosewood Doha and the other properties will redefine ultra-luxury experiences in the region. Looking forward to seeing these exciting plans come to life!
