In much more than name, Rocco Forte Hotels is the Forte family. At its helm are Sir Rocco, his sister and his three children.
Behind it are four generations of Forte hoteliers. It is in every way a family business, a shared love evident in every Rocco Forte hotel –
each exuding their innate style, sophistication and warmth.
The Fortes welcome you to the new Shanghai. To the West Bund, the city’s vibrant, verdant new cultural district. Its art galleries, museums,
theatres and boutiques. And to The Westbund Hotel, the riverside Rocco Forte hotel at its centre.
At the top of the district’s focal tower, The Westbund fuses
Asian and European sensibilities seamlessly. Chinoiserie, calligraphy, ceramics and local art contemporary and classical, drawn together with
Olga Polizzi’s light, bright Anglo-Italian thread. Dining from dim sum and contemporary Chinese cuisine to
English afternoon tea and all-day Italian cooking. A specialist scotch bar and craft cocktails at the rooftop sky garden, overlooking the
XuHui river and the Shanghai cityscape.
With a state-of-the-art spa, 52nd-floor infinity pool and soothing, spacious rooms, The Westbund is a sanctuary. It is a destination;
a centre of art, entertainment and gastronomy. It is a classic Forte hotel, open-hearted and informal. And it is a keystone in
the new Shanghai.
