History
Designed by architects from Frank Lloyd Wright’s firm, Rockhouse opened in 1974 as one of the first hotels on Negril’s cliffs and was reimagined by current ownership in 1994. The property has grown from 14 to 40 rooms while maintaining a strict 'organic' design philosophy that uses local stone, timber, and thatch to blend into the natural environment. It is widely recognized for its social responsibility through the Rockhouse Foundation, which has invested millions into local childhood education.
