Business and leisure travellers in Saudi Arabia were presented with a new luxury hotel choice on 8th September when the Rosewood Corniche opened its doors to guests. The latest property in the international Rosewood Hotels and Resorts collection and the third in the Kingdom overlooks the Red Sea from its location on the Jeddah Corniche.

Rosewood Corniche, an elegant and luxuriously designed hotel features Saudi Arabia’s first dedicated Ladies’ Floor, which is reserved exclusively for female travellers.

“As Rosewood continues to grow the brand internationally, we are pleased to include Jeddah among the many locations that reveal the individuality of our diverse properties,” said John M. Scott III, President and CEO of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts.

“Rosewood Corniche offers the company an incredible opportunity to expand our brand in the Kingdom and advance our reputation as the premier provider of impeccable service and a luxury product,” said Scott.

The new hotel reinforces the presence of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts in the Middle East while Rosewood Dubai, the brand’s first property in the UAE, is expected to open in the second half of 2009.

“We are all excited to be presenting this wonderful new hotel property,” said Hans-Peter Leitzke, Managing Director of the Rosewood Corniche. “It offers a combination of the latest technology, spectacular design and unprecedented sophistication, as well as some unique and innovative guest amenities.”
