The Middle House Opens in Shanghai

Located in the heart of Shanghai, the Middle House is Swire Hotels’ fourth property in its House Collective brand. Milan-based designer Piero Lissoni is responsible for the stylish interiors of the 111 rooms and 102 apartment-style residences. The Middle House is primed to be a foodie destination with three noteworthy restaurants including Café Gray Deluxe from star chef Gray Kunz and an Italian spot from Michelin-star chef Stefano Pace. Mi Xun day spa will be the first hotel spa in China to offer Cha Ling treatments. Wellness facilities also include an indoor heated pool, sauna and steam room, gym, and juice bar. From $450; hemiddlehousehotel.com.

Six Senses Duxton Opens in Singapore

Six Senses is known for its wellness-focused retreats in far-flung destinations like the Seychelles and Fiji—but this month, the brand makes its urban debut in Singapore. Acclaimed British designer Anouska Hempel meticulously restored a row of heritage trading houses in old Chinatown’s Tanjong Pagar to create Six Senses Duxton. Each of the property's 49 guestrooms and suites is slightly different: Interiors are decorated with Portuguese shutters, Chinese porcelain-chip friezes, and calligraphy wallpaper from Hempel’s personal collection. As is typical of Six Senses properties, wellness takes center stage here, too. A highlight is the appointment of a traditional Chinese doctor who offers readings, health recommendations, and a medicinal herbal dispensary. From $297; sixsenses.com.

The Ramble Opens in Denver April 30

Denver’s River North Art District has been buzzing for the past year as old warehouses have been turned into food halls, breweries and galleries, but the opening of the Ramble adds some glamour to the “RiNo” neighborhood. Each of the hotel's 50 rooms feels like a chic pied-à-terre decorated with Persian rugs and bold art pieces. The team behind the legendary New York bar Death & Co is curating the food and beverage experiences, including for the lobby bar, minibars, an open-air courtyard, and a speakeasy-style lounge. Denver’s popular Latin-influenced restaurant Work & Class is located across the street and will open a follow-up spot, Super Mega Bien, in the Ramble. From $249; theramblehotel.com.

Four Seasons Resort Maui Announces Elite Suite Experience for Wine Lovers

An ultimate pairing dinner allows guests to work with a chef and sommelier to create the perfect meal, served in-suite or at the serenity pool. From $14,000; fourseasons.com.
