The World’s 50 Best Hotels describes it as Rosewood’s first South American property, opened in 2022, with 160 guestrooms plus 100 private residences and suites. The same profile credits Jean Nouvel with the vertical garden tower and Philippe Starck with the interiors, and names entrepreneur Alexandre Allard as the figure behind the project.
