Completing the trio of openings is The Westbund Hotel Shanghai, a joint project by Olga Polizzi and Muza Lab in the city's riverfront neighbourhood of West Bund. Scheduled to open in Summer 2019, the property will occupy the highest floors of a new development featuring a sleek all-glass façade and streamlined curves. Comprising 219 guestrooms and suites, including one signature Presidential Suite, the design concept will draw upon artistic practices in Chinese art and classic Eastern aesthetics, while four distinct dining experiences include an al fresco bar on the 52nd floor - the highest bar in the Puxi area.
