The narrative of Rosewood Hotels began in 1979, transforming a historic Dallas mansion into the celebrated restaurant and hotel, The Mansion on Turtle Creek. This successful conversion set the tone for all future Rosewood establishments.

Their vision was to create a unique collection of luxurious, residential-style hotels, with each property reflecting a distinctive ambiance influenced by its location, culture, history, and geography.
