POSTED 03 May 2016 . BY Jane Kitchen
A couples’ treatment room includes a deep soaking tub and double shower, and a VIP treatment room also features a private sauna foot massage area with two treatment chairs
Hospitality specialists WATG Architects are designing a 160-bedroom Bellagio Shanghai, set to open in early 2017. With a “hip and cool” urban setting, the hotel’s architecture aims to capture the essence of the old and new Shanghai with a modern, tempered interpretation of Art Deco.

The hotel will include a five-treatment-room Zen spa with separate male and female wet rooms with sauna and steam, relaxation lounge, indoor pool with tepidarium, vitality pool, a fitness and exercise studio and a panoramic co-ed sauna.

WATG’s sister company Wimberly Interiors is responsible for the interiors of the hotel, including the spa, which uses the tenets of Zen design and features a collection of natural materials and neutral tones designed to create a calming effect.

A couples’ treatment room includes a deep soaking tub and double shower, and a VIP treatment room also features a private sauna foot massage area with two treatment chairs.

WATG opened an office in Shanghai in November 2015 as part of its strategic global expansion.
