PRESS RELEASE

Rosewood Celebrates 30 Years of Luxury

Mar. 29, 2010

Anniversary Marked with Rose-Infused Menus ~ A Tribute to Caroline Rose Hunt

DALLAS – Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, the premier manager of ultra-luxury hotels and resorts throughout the world, is celebrating three decades of luxury with its 30th anniversary this year.  As a tribute to founder Caroline Rose Hunt, Rosewood’s award-winning chefs, spa directors and mixologists have created rose-infused dishes, cocktails and spa treatments, paying homage to Caroline Rose Hunt and commemorating 30 years of Rosewood tradition.

A member of the legendary Dallas Hunt family, Caroline Rose Hunt began the Rosewood legacy with a vision to restore and transform an old Dallas mansion into a world-class restaurant and hotel, Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek. A woman of impeccable taste, Ms. Hunt fashioned The Mansion meticulously as though it were her own home, offering a luxurious, residential-style hotel with unparalleled attention to detail, fine dining, exceptional personalized service and southern hospitality. 

Today, the Rosewood collection encompasses 17 iconic hotels and resorts in seven countries—singular properties that each offer a uniquely authentic experience inspired, crafted and delivered under the Rosewood guiding principle, A Sense of Place®.
