About Us

The Rose Nomad is a collection of boutique hotels and charming homes. We are actively engaged with each property to ensure a distinctive experience and to guarantee the best room rate. Our engagement is in the form of management, interior design, or a close relationship with the owners. Each space will impress you through its unique location, gastronomy, or design. We share our insider’s view to ensure that you get a local experience, give recommendations of exquisite restaurants, bars, architectural and nature highlights to make every trip memorable.
