Rosewood to renovate Hotel Georgia
11 January 2010 17:20:08 GMT
Rosewood Hotels & Resorts has been chosen by Delta Group to manage the legendary Hotel Georgia in Vancouver, Canada. Now known as Rosewood Hotel Georgia, the property is currently undergoing a full restoration and is scheduled to reopen in early 2011.
The property will feature 154 guest rooms, including large suites, and a separate 48-storey residential tower to be completed in 2012. The hotel will also feature Sense, A Rosewood Spa™, a fitness centre, indoor swimming pool, a nightclub and Hawksworth Restaurant.
Interior design for Rosewood Hotel Georgia is led by Toronto-based Munge Leung.
The primary inspiration for the design is to revive the hotel’s glamour and elegance. “This hotel doesn’t belong to us as designers,” firm principal Alessandro Munge states, “it belongs to the people of Vancouver.”
The lobby will once again be a rich vision of dark woods, rich gold and deep reds, while guest rooms will be softly enrobed in light blues, ivory and chocolate brown. The public spaces of the hotel, including the second floor ballroom, will be Vancouver’s finest, with cornices and moldings recreated with modern materials and fine details original to the space.
Owned and operated by renowned Chef David Hawksworth, the restaurant will feature a menu reflecting regional, seasonal ingredients with a uniquely Vancouver-Asian twist. The nightclub inside Rosewood Hotel Georgia will be built on the rich history of the hotel and will feature top musical entertainment in an intimate, sophisticated setting.
First opened in 1927, the Rosewood Hotel Georgia came to be known as Vancouver’s most historic and elegant hotel. The Georgian Revival structure welcomed the who’s who of the entertainment world, including Elvis Presley, Nat “King” Cole, Katherine Hepburn and British Royalty.
