The PuLi Group has appointed Dean Winter as Chief Executive Officer and Vittorio Dincao as General Manager of The PuLi Shanghai, marking a pivotal moment in the brand’s evolution from a standalone hotel to a global portfolio spanning some of the world’s leading destinations. The appointments come as the group prepares to unveil the transformation of its flagship Shanghai property and mark the beginning of an ambitious new phase of growth.
By 2035, The PuLi Group aims to operate 20 hotels (with an additional nine in development), branded residences, and an expanding retail and e-commerce presence – maintaining 80% of its footprint in Asia and 20% internationally. He will also oversee The PuXuan in Beijing and The RuMa in Kuala Lumpur, managed under Urban Resort Concepts.
Dincao will lead The PuLi Shanghai through the final phases of its renovation, encompassing all 229 guest rooms alongside a dedicated wellness floor, all public spaces, dining outlets and an expansive 377square metre penthouse. The transformation reimagines the guest experience while preserving the essence that has defined the hotel since its inception, creating spaces that are both contemporary and rooted in culture.
