Rosewood Hotels is serious when it comes to having 50 hotels by 2020: we heard about Montecito and Puebla, we know about Bangkok, Jakarta and Bali, then there is of course Paris, and possibly Amsterdam.
Today it is the addition of its first hotel for South America, where the group is picking Brazil as its entry point. Rosewood São Paulo will open in 2018 in Cidade Matarazzo, a landmark building from the early 20th century that was once a maternity hospital. Big names that will put their name on the project are architect Jean Nouvel and designer Philippe Starck, along with Brazilian artists Beatriz Milhazes and Saint-Clare Cemin.
This is an aerial photo of Cidada Matarazzo that we found here, showing the low-rise buildings in the middle of the city, with an interesting, fiery red art piece. The hotel will have 151 rooms and 141 “owner’s suites”, which will be “situated within a vertical park by Nouvel”.
This rooftop pool will not be the only place to take a dip: a second pool is set in the landscaped grounds. There will be a spa, two restaurants, a bar, cigar lounge, music studio and screening room. Event space and retail outlets complete the facilities.
With 50 hotels by 2020 we’re sure this isn’t the last announcement from Rosewood, so stay tuned for more.
