I need to make a last minute urgent change of hotel and decided on Rosewood Villa Magna. After a few email correspondence, I was able to book online and my helpful agent also add the Virtuoso amenities for me. Arrival My flight landed from Dubai and thanks to Emirates generous benefits, round trip airport transfer is included in my ticket as well. The driver dropped me at Villa Magna Rosewood. I was shown to the check-in desk upon arrival. My first impression was that the hotel was extremely busy and the reception lobby was very crowded. Nevertheless, after a short wait I was able to check-in. The reception apologised for not being able to upgrade me as the hotel was “very full” due to high occupancy. There’s a champion’s league football game just the day before. Afterwards, I did a quick check and the upgraded room ( ie Junior suite ) was actually available for booking online but I did not press the matter as it’s really just a small difference between my Grand Premier Room and the Junior Suite. A guest relationship manager by the name of Angel ( or is it Domenic? ) greeted me and showed me to my room. The Grand Premier Room. This room measures a spacious 45sqm. It has small windows with view facing the main street. The decoration is very art deco style. Unfortunately, it reminds me of Rosewood London which I had a bad experience. Nevertheless, all the amenities are there, including a small sitting area, a minibar, working desk, high definition TV that can be easily connected to an AppleTV. The bathroom has very strong water pressure, so it’s like showering under a waterfall. There’s also a bathtub. Toiletries comes in small little tubes which were very annoying because they keep toppling over. Should have placed them on the wall with bottles. Overall, I think the room is not as nice as I like. The black/white décor gave it a hospital feel, could have been more cheerful. I don’t like the small windows that makes the room feels claustrophobic. I do like the water pressure of the shower. Common Areas and Location I was surprised how the hotel was actually smaller that it seems. Before I selected the hotel, I preview their website and various youtube videos and got the impression that the hotel was quite big. It’s actually much smaller than I expected. Upon entering the hotel is the reception area and concierge desk. Right behind the reception area is the lounge area which connects to two restaurants, the Amos fine dining restaurant and the Brasserie, where I had my morning breakfast. In the basement is the spa and a small gym. And that’s it. It feels very boutique in that sense. My only experience with the hotel’s F&B is in-room dinning and morning breakfast. They are of decent quality. The coffee is good though. I also tried their small gym which is entirely self service. Whether the location of the hotel is good or not depends on what you want to do. For shopping, it’s quite good as right behind the hotel is the Serrano street
