The 7 Rosewood Hotels Everyone Wants to Book Right Now

Written By Krista Nannery

If there’s one thing I’ve learned after years of planning luxury trips, it’s that popularity isn’t random. Certain hotels become “it” hotels for a reason—usually because they give travelers something they can’t get anywhere else. A sense of place. A sense of calm. A sense that maybe you will start meditating after all.

Rosewood nails this better than most brands, and a handful of their properties have reached full-blown cult status. These are the seven Rosewood hotels people ask for the most. As a Rosewood Elite travel agent, these are the ones I see booked again and again because they deliver.

1. Rosewood Mayakoba — Riviera Maya, Mexico

If Rosewood had a flagship for pure escapism, this is it. Picture private boat arrivals, suites with plunge pools, and service so seamless you don’t notice it happening. Mayakoba keeps selling out because it works for everyone: honeymooners, families, multigenerational groups, friends celebrating milestone birthdays. Add swimmable water, a gorgeous spa, and the easiest flights from the U.S., and you’ve got the most consistently in-demand Rosewood property worldwide.

2. Rosewood Hong Kong — Hong Kong

Travelers with opinions (you know who you are) obsess over this one. It’s sleek, dramatic, and sits right on Victoria Harbour with insane views. It's also in a city that’s roaring back—fast. The rooms are huge for Hong Kong, the food is outstanding, and the Manor Club is one of the best club-level experiences of any luxury hotel anywhere. When clients want urban luxury that feels genuinely modern, this is the one I point them to.

3. Hôtel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel — Paris, France

Paris will never go out of style, and neither will the Crillon. It’s the hotel people reference in whispers, like it’s a secret society. Staying here feels like slipping into a more glamorous dimension—suites designed by Karl Lagerfeld, a subterranean pool straight out of a dream, and a location that makes sightseeing almost too easy. For milestone trips, anniversaries, or “I want to feel like royalty for three days,” this is the property.

4. Rosewood London — London, UK

I lived in London for over a decade, and Rosewood London continues to be one of the city’s most reliable luxury picks. The courtyard arrival feels like entering a private estate, the rooms are huge by London standards, and the service is on point without being fussy. Add Scarfes Bar—still one of the best cocktail bars in the city—and its unbeatable location near Covent Garden, and you get a hotel that satisfies first-timers and London regulars equally.

5. Rosewood Miramar Beach — Montecito, California

Let’s be honest: beachfront luxury in California is rare, and Rosewood knows it. This one stays packed because it gives travelers exactly what they want—private beach access, casual-glam restaurants, pastel-perfect rooms, and a general sense that life really is better in Montecito. Families love it. Couples love it. People sneaking off for a long weekend love it. Availability is its own sport here.

6. Rosewood Little Dix Bay — Virgin Gorda, BVI

A comeback story done right. After a massive rebuild, Little Dix Bay reemerged as one of the most understated yet luxurious Caribbean escapes. It’s barefoot luxury in the best sense: open-air spaces, a spectacular crescent-shaped beach, and rooms that feel like they were carved into nature instead of placed on top of it. It’s catnip for travelers who want the Caribbean without the crowds—or the scene.

7. Rosewood Phuket — Phuket, Thailand

Thailand is trending hard, especially for families, and Rosewood Phuket is the luxe beachfront option that skips the chaos and gives you tranquility instead. The villas come with private pools, the design is contemporary without losing its Thai soul, and the dining is legitimately good. It’s popular because it’s easy: fly in, unwind, swim, eat, repeat. And the service is classic Rosewood—quietly excellent.

Why These Seven Stand Out

Patterns matter, and here’s what these hotels have in common:

  • They’re in destinations people are prioritizing again: Mexico, Paris, London, California, the Caribbean, and Southeast Asia.

  • They work for different types of travelers (not every brand can say that).

  • They combine a sense of place with a modern, elevated aesthetic that feels “special” without being intimidating.

  • And practically speaking? They offer strong value at the luxury level—meaning the experience matches the price tag.

Considering a Rosewood Stay?

These hotels book up earlier than you think—especially for holidays, summers, and school breaks. As a Rosewood Elite advisor, I can add extra perks like breakfast for two, resort credits, upgrades, and VIP treatment that make the stay feel even more special.
