Vancouver's Rosewood Hotel Georgia announces re-opening date

Originally opened in the decadent 1920’s, the hotel came to be known as Vancouver’s most elegant retreat, attracting Royalty and Hollywood stars, with musical roots including guests such as Elvis Presley, Ginger Rogers, Frank Sinatra and the Rolling Stones.

The hotel’s restoration and refurbishment is the work of the interior design team at Toronto-based Munge Leung who took the hotel’s historic glamour and elegance as the inspiration for this transformation, keeping many of the original design features, including the ornate 1920’s lobby clock while restoring the cornices and other original features around the reception, ballroom and public areas.

Facilities include nearly 10,000 square feet of deluxe banqueting and meeting space, 24-hour in-room dining, Sense, A Rosewood Spa®, a state-of-the-art fitness centre and a 54’ indoor salt water lap pool that reflects shimmering movement and light over a dramatic porte-cochère.

The new property features 155 rooms and suits, decorated using a palette of light blues, ivory and chocolate with the finest furnishings and spa-inspired bathrooms. Rosewood Hotel Georgia will also offer two Penthouse Suites, the Lord Stanley Suite and the hotel’s signature Rosewood Suite, both featuring a private rooftop terrace complete with stunning city skyline views, outdoor hot tub and fireplace.

With a view to resurrecting its iconic standing as the social hub of the city, Rosewood Hotel Georgia offers a number of dynamic public spaces for dining, entertaining and nightlife. Operated by one of Canada’s top chefs, David Hawksworth, the ‘Hawksworth’ Restaurant will offer contemporary Canadian cuisine that reflects regional, seasonal ingredients with a uniquely Vancouver-Asian twist. Set over 2,800sqft of floor space ‘Hawksworth’ also includes a seated bar and lounge area plus a first floor private dining room, overlooking the Art Gallery.

Talented Head Chef Ned Bell will oversee additional on premise dining including nearly 10,000 sq feet of event space, the centerpiece of which is the lovingly restored Spanish Ballroom featuring hand crafted cornice, stained glass windows and its original minstrel gallery.

‘Prohibition’, Rosewood Hotel Georgia’s underground vaulted cocktail lounge will feature musical entertainment in an intimate, sophisticated setting, while ‘1927’, he hotel’s handsome lobby bar and ‘Reflections’ a picturesque outdoor patio on the fourth floor offer alternative venues to dine and entertain.
