Rosewood has signed an agreement with Shanghai-based property development company, Lonsen Land Group, to manage a new luxury hotel in mainland China.

Set to break ground in 2022, the Rosewood Shanghai is scheduled to open in 2028.

The hotel will be located in the heart of Shanghai's Jing'An District and Suhewan area, an emerging business and cultural hub.

Occupying prime real estate within a mixed-use project designed by renowned international studio Foster + Partners, the Rosewood Shanghai will occupy the top floors of the site's landmark building, which will be one of the tallest complexes in the city's Puxi district at 320 meters.

Rosewood Shanghai will offer 200 guestrooms and suites, five F&B outlets and Asaya, Rosewood's wellness concept.

"As we continue to grow the brand throughout Asia and specifically mainland China, Shanghai has long been a priority destination in which to plant the Rosewood flag," said Sonia Cheng, chief executive officer of Rosewood Hotel Group. "The country's largest city and economic hub, Shanghai embodies several of our key brand values - innovation, creativity and originality. We are thrilled to bring a new standard of luxury to the region and thank our partners at Lonsen Land Group for the opportunity they've given us to do so."

Rosewood's collection of properties in Greater China includes the Rosewood Hong Kong, Rosewood Beijing, Rosewood Sanya and Rosewood Guangzhou.

Additional projects in development in the region include Rosewood Chengdu and Rosewood Ningbo, both set to open in 2023, along with Rosewood Shenzhen and Rosewood Taipei, which are planned to open in 2024.
