Developed by real estate developer Qatari Diar Europe LLP, the Grade II listed building is being reimagined by British architect Sir David Chipperfield of David Chipperfield Architects as a new retail destination and Rosewood Hotels and Resorts luxury hotel.
The hotel will feature 144 guest rooms and suites alongside “elegant” dining venues, retail concepts, meeting and event spaces, and Rosewood’s integrative wellbeing destination, Asaya
Bonsor is a 10-year veteran of Rosewood Hotels and Resorts, and began his journey with the brand as hotel manager of Rosewood London. He was then promoted to managing director in 2017.
Prior to joining Rosewood, he held multiple positions at Claridge’s. He started his career at an early age working alongside his parents at their hotels in Scotland before venturing to the United States to work with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts for 10 years across the cities of Boston, Toronto and New York.
His Four Seasons tenure included a role as director of Restaurants where he oversaw the launch of the Michelin-starred L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon in New York City.
