Rosewood Corniche

A beautiful and unique experience in every way

If business travel brings you to Jeddah, strongly consider this superior choice located at the southern end of Jeddah's corniche. For visitors with meetings in central Jeddah, this is an especially convenient location. With an open atrium that extends from the ground level to just below vertigo-inducing pool on the hotel roof, the architecture is unique among hotels in Jeddah. Rooms are uniformly excellent, with the curved design of those facing the Red Sea giving the sense of viewing the coast from inside a ship. Hotel staff are knowledgeable, efficient and among the best you will find in Saudi Arabia, with an especially impressive front desk team and butler service. The gym and spa, located on the top floor, offers a shoreline view. The gym itself has more than sufficient cardio and resistance training equipment. The views from the top floor are a tourist destination unto itself. The hotel restaurant, in particular the breakfast service, is top notch. This five-star hotel earns its marks and is value-for-money in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Saudi Arabia's historic Jeddah.

I moved to the Rosewood after an unsatisfactory experience at the Four Points by Sheraton Corniche and the Rosewood was everything it needed to be. The staff were friendly and caring, treating me as an individual. The property is beautiful and I particularly appreciated the bathtub. As I had an early departure, I was only able to take advantage of breakfast one day, but it was really superb. Yes, the Rosewood is a little more expensive, but I would argue much better value for money.
