“you’d be hard pressed to find contemporary interiors more elegant than Rosewood’s, and the views are naturally extraordinary; meanwhile the services are comprehensive”
Rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the metropolis, alongside custom tea sets, lacquered accents, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking tubs.
“The design of Rosewood Guangzhou’s 251 accommodations err on the side of a cozy home-away-from-home vibe, albeit nearly 1,700 feet above the ground.”
Wellness
A 25-meter sky pool perches on the 94th floor, alongside Himalayan salt rooms and studios for singing bowl meditation.
Backstory
The hotel crowns the top 39 floors of Guangzhou's 530-meter CTF Finance Centre, designed with self-cleaning white terracotta mullions.

Too High serves rare single malts on the 107th floor, while Lingnan House crafts traditional Cantonese roast specialties and dim sum.
The neighborhood
Set in Zhujiang New Town, the tower overlooks the Pearl River and the futuristic skyline of the central Tianhe District.
The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
