Rosewood Hotels & Resorts to Debut in Dubai With Hotel and Residences

Dubai, UAE: Rosewood Hotels & Resorts® has announced its landmark entry into Dubai with the launch of Rosewood Dubai and Rosewood Residences Dubai, marking the brand’s first hotel and inaugural branded residential offering in the emirate.

Scheduled to open in 2029, the development will be located within Peninsula Dubai, a forthcoming waterfront destination positioned within one of the city’s most prestigious districts. The project is owned by Bright Start, with delivery led by H&H, a Dubai-based developer known for high-end real estate developments.

Ultra-luxury hospitality and residential offering

Spanning approximately 640,104 square feet, the project will feature a 195-key hotel alongside eight private garden villas, offering a comprehensive hospitality experience that blends luxury, culture and lifestyle.

The development will include a private beach and beach club, four dining venues, a wellness centre, and a curated programme of art, music and culinary experiences. A dedicated Explorers Club will provide tailored activities for younger guests, reinforcing the destination’s family-oriented appeal.

Rosewood Dubai is designed to reflect both the cultural richness of the emirate and contemporary design principles, positioning itself as a dynamic social and lifestyle hub along Dubai’s coastline.

Branded residences enhance lifestyle offering

In addition to the hotel, the project will introduce Rosewood Residences Dubai, featuring a residential tower comprising 63 high-end residences and five exclusive beachfront villas.

Residents will have access to a range of premium amenities, including a 24-hour concierge, spa and movement studio, padel court, private cinema, library, and residents’ lounge. The design integrates modern architecture with subtle references to local culture, while maximising its beachfront setting overlooking Jumeirah Beach and Dubai’s skyline.

Radha Arora, President, Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, said:

Our vision is to create an ultra-luxury destination that is not only anchored in exceptional design and service but also in human connection and purpose. Rosewood Dubai is a vital part of our expansion in the Middle East and will reflect our A Sense of Place® philosophy, celebrating the city's vibrant energy while offering a new expression of modern luxury lifestyle.

The project represents a significant milestone for the brand as it expands its footprint in the region, combining its hospitality expertise with a growing portfolio of branded residential developments.

Miltos Bosinis, Chief Executive Officer, H&H, said:

At H&H, we consistently strive to pioneer new standards by creating developments that shape the real estate landscape of the city. We are incredibly excited to bring a world-renowned brand like Rosewood to Dubai, specifically to Peninsula Dubai, a landmark destination we are developing that will redefine the Dubai waterfront. Our aim with Rosewood Dubai is to offer something truly unique – blending architectural and design genius, the inherent prestige of the Rosewood brand, the bespoke amenities of both the hotel and the residences, and the one-of-a-kind experience this distinctive destination provides.

The development forms part of the broader Peninsula Dubai masterplan, which aims to deliver a new generation of waterfront living and hospitality experiences in the city.

Shahab Lutfi, Chief Executive Officer, Bright Start, said:

Our commitment extends beyond redefining industry standards; we are dedicated to generating substantial value and contributing strategically to Dubai's growth. The realization of Peninsula Dubai represents a pivotal asset in our portfolio, with the introduction of Rosewood Dubai further solidifying its position as a landmark destination. Rosewood's global reputation for highly personalized luxury is a key driver for the project's premium positioning and investor appeal. This partnership aligns perfectly with our strategic vision: to bring truly exceptional living and hospitality experiences to Dubai and build a lasting legacy for this dynamic city.

Positioned as more than a traditional hospitality and residential development, Rosewood Dubai is expected to redefine luxury living through a focus on cultural immersion, personalised experiences and community connection.

With its strategic waterfront location, integrated design and global brand positioning, the project is set to contribute to Dubai’s continued evolution as a leading destination for high-end real estate and hospitality investment.
