KHOS, a new hotel concept by Rosewood Hotel Group, promises a balance of work and play for modern men and women on the move

This isn’t your average business hotel. KHOS, Rosewood Hotel Group’s newest offering, is an upscale hotel brand that aims to seamlessly blend business with lifestyle, drawing inspiration from the energy, art, innovation, creativity, style and dynamism of modern Asia.

True to form, its name even draws inspiration from Asia—KHOS comes from the Mongolian word meaning "pair". The brand will connect travellers around the world with capital cities and urban portals, up-and-coming business centres, and resort destinations.

“We have created KHOS to serve the needs of the new generation of business travellers, individuals who are constantly on the move and crave places to stay that understand, mirror and support their dynamic personas,” says Sonia Cheng, CEO of Rosewood Hotel Group. “Hotels have not kept pace with the evolution of this group of travellers and KHOS reflects a new age in hospitality in which business travel is inseparable from lifestyle.”

In contrast to traditional business hotels, KHOS envisions a space that meets contemporary working needs with collaborative spaces, creating a gathering point for people to form connections and gain inspiration from different cultures, art, design and cuisine.

Culinary traditions across Asia have influenced the development of culinary offerings at KHOS, with the brand hoping to create authentic, artisanal and communal dining options. Recreation and relaxation will be at the forefront of each KHOS property, extending from spas and wellness facilities to business centres and executive lounges.

The KHOS ethos looks to turn the idea of traditional business hotels upside-down by completely reimagining facilities and services to invite spontaneous interaction with fellow travellers, and will be designed to allow for greater flexibility and sociability.

The first KHOS hotels will be announced and opened in 2018. Discover more on rosewoodhotelgroup.com
