PRESS KIT
Adding modernity, innovation and variety to the city’s renowned dining scene, Rosewood Guangzhou is home to seven distinct dining concepts – each boasting its own terrace, taking al fresco dining to next heights. Each venue expresses its own unique character through its menu and design, while a commitment to creativity and a respect for ingredients provides continuity across the establishments. Helmed by Director of Culinary Richard Hilton, the property’s food and beverage program reflects dedication to the Rosewood Hotels & Resorts Partners in Provenance program, which champions local producers, seasonality, traceability and sustainable provenance.
Lingnan House, the hotel’s Chinese restaurant on the fifth floor features traditional authentic Cantonese cuisine created with locally sourced ingredients. Executive Sous Chef Bill Feng has built a robust and exclusive network of nearby farmers to supply ingredients produced by sustainable methods. As a result, the menu features such indigenous items as vegetables from Williams Farm in Huizhou as well as pork from Zhuhao Farm in Maoming within a unique menu of Canton regional classics and Shunde cuisine. Signature dishes such as Cantonese barbecue and dim sum, which are prepared in show kitchens, can be complemented with a selection of premium teas, Chinese-inspired cocktails, premium international and Chinese rice wines.
Designed by Tokyo-based Super Potato, the restaurant effectively transports guests into a handsome Chinese mansion – complete with lantern-inspired lighting fixtures, contemporary ceiling fans and dark wood-paneled walls. A series of distinct spaces traverses a glamorous main dining room, elevated bar seating, and nine private dining rooms – three of which are free-standing outdoor garden villas. When dining in these exclusive spaces, guests also enjoy butler service and unparalleled privacy for business meetings or special occasions.
赤醉 on the sixth floor provides a convivial, casual setting with a mix of seating areas across the tavern-like space. There’s a relaxed craft beer bar with 10 taps, dedicated wine and cocktail bar and approachable pub food such as hibachi-grilled skewered meats and vegetables. Guests can choose the space they like best – be it the large outdoor terrace, counter seating, or by the pool table.
With its numerous bars and live DJ performance six nights a week, 赤醉 is one of the most dynamic entertainment destinations in the city – ideal for travelers in search of good vibes and variety, as well as residents looking to unwind after work. It also serves as a refreshing event venue and, thanks to a set of stairs connecting 赤醉 with Lingnan House below, guests can combine both venues into a one-of-a-kind event location.
Another culinary highlight is Black Iron on the 107th floor, where gastronomes delight in the exquisite Japanese cuisine – everything from sushi to sashimi, teppanyaki and sukiyaki – prepared at six intimate show kitchens within cozy dark wood surroundings. To accompany the jet-fresh seafood, mixologists take joy in crafting refreshing cocktails or recommending selected sakes from the menu. The Japanese-inspired gastronomic adventure is perfected by fizzy aperitifs and unexpected cocktails before and after dinner at the Black Iron Bar where, as the night draws in, guests indulge in a bird’s eye view of the city. Accentuated by floor-to-ceiling Victorian murals and amber-colored furnishings, the see-and-be-seen space is home to a fully equipped wine cellar, an outdoor terrace and the adjacent Too-High sky bar, the highest bar in mainland China, which serves an extensive and carefully curated list of rare wines, whiskies and sake.
On the 95th floor, The Butterfly Room and Patina European Brasserie & Terrace reinvent the notion of all-day dining. Hugged by panoramic windows and wrap-around terraces, The Butterfly Room mixes traditional Chinese accents, brass and copper details, sandblasted wood-paneled walls and custom silk screens and contemporary geometric art installations for a creatively refreshing atmosphere. The modern menu evolves throughout the day, beginning with irresistible pastries and coffee in the morning, followed by a creative east-meets-west tea set in the afternoon. The energy picks up in the evening, when The Butterfly Room transforms into a sophisticated spot for pre- and post-dinner drinks. No matter what time of day they visit, guests can expect a curated selection of specialty Chinese teas, premium coffee, Champagnes and wines.
Patina European Brasserie & Terrace offer a wholly relaxed and informal dining experience, offering a homey atmosphere that is accentuated by an open-plan kitchen and spacious dining area. Truly providing something for everyone, the menu inspiration traverses continental Europe with an emphasis on seafood.
On street level, experience the art of French patisserie at Guangzhou’s most elegant dessert boutique. Inspired by a jewelry atelier, Butterfly Patisserie showcases a delectable range of signature chocolates, seasonal cakes, flaky pastries, and decadent afternoon tea in exquisite surrounds. The space serves many functions, offering a convenient grab-and-go eatery and patisserie as well as deli with chalkboard menus that display the daily specials. With its warm personality and fresh food, Butterfly Patisserie is poised to become a favorite café for local residents, too. It’s the perfect setting to enjoy a quick and casual lunch, rendezvous with friends over wine and cheese, or simply savor a good book with a cup of tea.
