As the world continues to change in unprecedented ways, and with the ever-increasing demands of the digital generation, KHOS is well-positioned at the vanguard of a new era in business travel and hospitality.

An Inspired Solution for The New GenerationDerived from the Mongolian word meaning “pair”, KHOS was inspired to encourage collaboration amongst creators, with properties encompassing exceptional ergonomic environments designed to inspire a global class of change-makers. Whether entrepreneurs exchanging ideas, business teams building common ground, or couples, families and friends strengthening their emotional ties through shared experiences, KHOS invites local residents and international travellers alike to come together to explore, innovate and recharge against a backdrop of vibrant cultures and communities.

At the core of the KHOS philosophy are key signatures which underscore the brand’s positioning as a vibrant hub where business and leisure, productivity, creativity and wellness are seamlessly interlinked:
KHOS Connect takes the communal workspace to the next level of dynamism with social, flexible spatial design and an inspiring programme of events, available to both in-house guests and the local community.
The Commons replaces the formality of a traditional lobby with a more casual social hub. Designed to both inspire and engage, this energetic, interactive space is also open to both local residents and global travellers alike.
KHOS Eat & Drink is the brand’s dining and bar programme, designed to offer a casual and contemporary culinary adventure.

Downtime is built on a foundation of three distinct, yet harmonious signatures –
Retreat, Renew and
Recharge. Retreat to allow guests to relax and enjoy a refreshing drink with friends; Renew as a well-being concepts by introducing the tradition of bathing and cleansing ceremonies by putting the best of Asia customs together; Recharge, a high energy social fitness experience, offering variety of group classes and individual training.
Strategic Growth and ExpansionThe KHOS growth strategy includes substantial investment by Rosewood Hotel Group’s affiliate company, New World China, into three properties currently or soon to open in China in diverse locations. “KHOS is being extremely well received by our target market, and as we grow, we will continue to evolve the concept based on our guests’ needs and feedback,” concludes Ms. Cheng. “We believe that the KHOS brand perfectly fits into the Rosewood Hotel Group portfolio and is truly reflective of our track record in producing exceptional experiences supported by cutting-edge design. We look forward to welcoming guests to all of our properties and to providing them with fresh opportunities to explore not just our dynamic destinations, but also the boundaries of their own ideas and innovations.”
