Caroline Rose Hunt (born January 8, 1923) is an American heiress, hotelier and philanthropist.

Caroline Rose Hunt was born on January 8, 1923, the daughter of H. L. Hunt (1889–1974) and Lyda Bunker (1889–1955). She has six siblings: Margaret Hunt Hill (1915–2007), H. L. Hunt III (1917–2005), Lyda Bunker Hunt (born and died in 1925), Nelson Bunker Hunt (1926–2014), William Herbert Hunt (born 1929), and Lamar Hunt (1932–2006).

She was educated at the Hockaday School, an all-girl boarding school in Dallas. She then attended Mary Baldwin College, a private women's college in Staunton, Virginia for two years, until she transferred to the University of Texas at Austin, where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English.

Prior to her first marriage, she worked in her father's Dallas office. She later worked as a sales clerk at the Neiman Marcus department store in Dallas.

In 1979, she opened the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek, a luxury hotel in Turtle Creek, Dallas, and founded Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, where she now serves as Honorary Chairman. The company owned the Hotel Bel-Air in Bel Air, Los Angeles in the 1980s, but sold it in 1989. It currently owns the Carlyle Hotel on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City, among a portfolio of other luxury hotels. It is a subsidiary of a larger company owned by Chinese billionaire Henry Cheng. She was inducted into the North Texas Commercial Association of Realtors Hall of Fame in May 2013.
