At a Glance

Located on Jeddah’s famous waterfront Corniche promenade, the Rosewood Jeddah was built in 2007 and offers 127 rooms and suites over 16 floors within a glossy, circular high-rise lined by windows. The interiors are grand and reflect a Neoclassical-meets-Arabic aesthetic, with soaring columns holding up a central atrium decorated in carved molding and latticework, with a color palette of golds, mustards and baby-blues. On-property amenities include a fitness club and spa, an outdoor rooftop pool, the Habsburg and Soleil restaurants (which are both inspired by Vienna, but serve international cuisine), and the panoramic Sky Lounge—as well as easy access to the beach and Red Sea. The rooms are comfortably outfitted though somewhat outdated, and the views are a highlight.

The Standout: The 24-hour butler service (the Rosewood was the first hotel in Jeddah to offer this amenity).

Don’t Miss: A drink with a view over the Red Sea at sunset at the futuristic rooftop Sky Lounge.
