“Fantastic stay”

We stayed for 7 nights in early Jan 2026. So pleased to have chosen this hotel. The breakfasts and dinners were exceptional. My room even though sea facing and of a higher grade, the bed faced a wall. Not that we spent all that much time in the room. The sea would have been much better view. The concierge and dining room staff went out of their way to make us feel really at home. The hotel has a warm feeling about it not like other 5 star hotels that are cold and uninviting. It is nicely situated but travel after 3:30 becomes a problem with heavy traffic in the vicinity. I can really recommend this hotel. A wonderful glimpse of Saudi Arabia

“Splendid experience!”

After a six-hour early drive, we finally arrived at the Rosewood Hotel in Jeddah. It stood tall and graceful, like a rose reaching toward the sky with its petals wide open.

After a six-hour early drive, we finally arrived at the Rosewood Hotel in Jeddah. It stood tall and graceful, like a rose reaching toward the sky with its petals wide open. I was warmly welcomed by a beautiful hostess who presented me with a bouquet of roses and guided us to our elegant suite. The breathtaking sea view overlooking the Corniche, combined with the harmonious and thoughtfully designed room, instantly felt heart-warming. The circular shower box, perfectly matching the building’s architecture, was especially stunning and unique. After a deeply relaxing night on the incredibly comfortable mattress, breakfast the next morning took me by surprise. I was delighted to find lamb liver served on the hot buffet—something quite rare and absolutely delicious. I enjoyed my cappuccino so much that I ordered another, especially after discovering the gluten-free pistachio and orange cakes. What impressed me most was how lightly sweetened all the desserts were, allowing indulgence without worrying about excessive sugar. I truly appreciated the thoughtful approach toward helping guests enjoy food while staying mindful of their health. Rosewood, I will definitely be back—to experience once again the warm, friendly staff, outstanding hospitality, and exceptional food.

“Very good hotel but has some small pain points that keep it from being excellent”

I had a beautiful suite with nice corniche and water views. I liked my suite but I found it annoying to have to control almost everything from the bedside such as the toilet light in the bathroom. The water pressure in the bathroom sink was weak. I needed a butler to explain everything to me because the room controls for things such as lights were confusing; the first night he was busy with another guest at midnight and i had to wait over 15 minutes. The next morning my wake up call was late because the operator was busy at the front desk. So they are a little tight on staffing here and that is a pain point. Also, the elevators to the top of the building (where the pool, gym and spa are) are not programmed well if you are on a guest room floor heading up. You have to go to one elevator to do that and that wastes time. You don't have the same problem coming down. The swimming pool is not heated and it's cold in there during the winter. The gym is decent and the Syrian trainer in residence is a cool friendly guy. The spa is good and open till 9 at night. The hotel has a buffet 3 meals a day (I ate all 3) and it's fine with a pasta station and a fish dish always available. They made nice pastries and I liked the food. At breakfast, I wasn't crazy about the buffet not having things I wanted such as smoked salmon, cream cheese, avocado. The new Four Seasons being built will surpass this property on all these counts so either they up their game or they will suffer from competition. The hotel couldn't take an American Express card at checkout even though they are part of the Amex FHR program. This place is a very good hotel but it is probably not being run to Rosewood standards and it needs a bit of work to reduce its pain points to guests.
