Rosewood Hotels & Resorts has unveiled plans to open its first hotel and branded residences in Dubai.

Scheduled to open in 2029, the two properties will be set within Peninsula Dubai, an upcoming landmark destination within the city’s prestigious waterfront district.

The project is owned by real estate investment company Bright Start, with Dubai-based developer H&H spearheading its delivery.

Spanning 9.95 hectares, Rosewood Dubai will comprise a 195-key hotel and eight private garden villas, alongside a private beach and beach club, four distinct dining venues and a dedicated wellness centre. Together, these elements shape a holistic offering that will help to establish Rosewood Dubai as a dynamic cultural and social hub along the coastline.

Marking a major milestone for the brand, the project will introduce an elevated lifestyle experience that blends Rosewood’s signature hospitality with a collection of high-end residences. Set along Jumeirah Beach, the 63 Rosewood residences and five exclusive beachfront villas will benefit from tailored amenities including a 24-hour concierge, spa and movement studio, padel court, private cinema, library and lounge.

“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,” says Radha Arora, President, Rosewood Hotels & Resorts. “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.”

Miltos Bosinis, Chief Executive Officer, H&H adds: “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.”

“Our commitment extends beyond redefining industry standards; we are dedicated to generating substantial value and contributing strategically to Dubai’s growth,” comments Shahab Lutfi, Chief Executive Officer, Bright Start. “The realisation 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 personalised 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.”
