Rosewood Jeddah is a small, design-led luxury hotel on Corniche Street in the Ash Shati area, right on the seafront and carrying a five-star class. It has 127 individually furnished rooms and suites, and its scale makes it feel more like a private residence than a large resort. Guests have direct beach access, an outdoor pool with sun loungers, a rooftop pool high above the water, a spa, a steam and sauna area and a health club that is open around the clock. Two restaurants, a café, a terrace and a lounge cover the day, and the hotel sits in a shopping district with the Corniche promenade a minute away on foot.
Location and getting around
The hotel is on Corniche Street, with the waterfront promenade about a minute’s walk away and Fakieh Aquarium about five minutes on foot. King Fahd’s Fountain and the Floating Mosque are on the same northern stretch of coast, and the hotel is surrounded by shopping and dining options. The airport is roughly thirty minutes by car, and the hotel arranges a paid shuttle on request. Al-Balad is a drive across the city, so most guests use taxis or ride-share cars for the old town.
The rooms and facilities
Rooms are individually furnished, and the sea-facing rooms are the ones to ask for. The hotel is beachfront with direct beach access, so it works for a Red Sea stay as well as a city break, and the rooftop pool on the upper floors gives a different view of the coast at sunset.
There are two restaurants, a café, a terrace and a lounge, plus room service around the clock. The spa and the round-the-clock health club suit guests who like to train or unwind, and Wi-Fi is free in the rooms. Pool availability can change with maintenance, so ask the hotel which pools are open for your dates.
Good to know
A buffet breakfast is served each morning and is charged separately on many rates, so check what is included. Free self-parking and valet parking are available, which helps if you have a rental car. The hotel suits couples, honeymooners and travellers who want a top-end stay close to the water and the main northern sights.
It is less suited to travellers on a tight budget or to those who want to walk to the old quarter. Rates are high, particularly in the mild season, from roughly November to March, so book early, and compare sea-view and city-view rooms before choosing, since the sea-facing rooms are the main reason to stay here.
