Rosewood Hotel Group's portfolio consists of 40 hotels in 14 countries that are operated and marketed as three independent brands.

Rosewood Hotels & Resorts is the group's premium brand comprising a collection of properties in the world's most desired destinations. Rosewood is renowned for its dedication to creating one-of-a-kind ambiance and style, with industry-defining personalised service, guided by its A Sense of Place® philosophy to celebrate and honour the culture, history and environment of each hotel's location.

Today, the Rosewood collection encompasses 18 hotels and resorts in eight countries, including some of the most legendary properties in the world and the brand has embarked on ambitious expansion to expand its footprint in Asia and Europe, with Abu Dhabi, London and Beijing hotels opening this year. Rosewood is expected to more than double its current portfolio of hotels either opened or in the pipeline in the coming five years.

New World Hotels are deluxe properties favoured by business travellers and meeting planners with locations in Dalian, Shanghai, Wuhan, Ho Chi Minh City and Manila, with an affiliated hotel in Shunde. The hotels offer a full range of relevant amenities and services, including multiple restaurants, business services, extensive meeting facilities, recreational options and Residence Club executive floors. New World Hotels is targeted to more than double in size in the next five years, with hotels in Beijing and Guiyang scheduled to open this year.
