Charting the Future of Hospitality & Wellness: Stelliers x SAINT BELLA Leadership Dinner

As wellness becomes an increasingly central pillar of the guest journey, hotels are exploring deeper partnerships with specialised wellness brands to enhance personalisation, care, and overall experience. This shift reflects a broader industry movement: travellers today are seeking not only comfort, but a sense of restoration and wellbeing. In response, hospitality leaders are turning to collaborators who can bring expertise, innovation, and meaningful value to their properties.

Within this evolving landscape, Stelliers remains grounded in its belief that hospitality is elevated by the people who shape it. As Asia’s leading platform dedicated to recognising hotel professionals, Stelliers strives to ensure that those at the heart of the industry feel seen, valued, and inspired to lead. This people-first philosophy naturally aligns with SAINT BELLA – our Silver Partner for Greater China 2025 – whose own journey from postpartum care to a broader wellness and lifestyle brand reflects a shared commitment to elevating service, care, and professional excellence. Together, we recognise the importance of empowering individuals who define the guest experience.

With this shared focus, Stelliers and SAINT BELLA brought together hotel leaders and distinguished industry figures for an intimate evening in Shanghai at Bella Villa Yuyuan dedicated to conversation, collaboration, and the future of hospitality. Among the VIP attendees were SAINT BELLA Founder Danny Xiang, Co-Founder Minee Lin, Head of Global Expansion Lillian Tseng, Stelliers Judge Rainer Burkle, Stelliers Co-Founder Stéphane de Montgros, and Managing Director Simon Hansson Yu, each bringing a unique perspective to the dialogue.

SAINT BELLA, originally known for its premium postpartum care services, has rapidly expanded into a comprehensive luxury wellness provider with growing influence in the hospitality space. Today, the brand is expanding globally, establishing new international partnerships and extending its service model beyond China. Their mission centres on delivering high-quality, personalised wellness experiences that complement the standards of leading hotels.

Guests were welcomed at Bella Villa with a relaxed champagne reception, offering a natural environment for informal introductions and conversation over a curated selection of canapés. Rather than following a strict programme, the evening unfolded organically, guided by the people and conversations in the room.

Once gathered in the dining space, Stéphane de Montgros, Danny Xiang, Minee Lin, and Lillian Tseng shared perspectives on the evolving role of wellness in hospitality. Their discussion touched on SAINT BELLA’s evolution from postpartum recovery specialist to broader luxury wellness partner, and the growing importance of personalised wellbeing as a differentiator for modern travellers.

A highlight of the evening was the menu crafted by Sense, the Michelin-starred restaurant from Hangzhou, and an investment under SAINT BELLA Group’s portfolio. The culinary team travelled to Shanghai exclusively for the event, presenting a refined menu that balanced flavour, technique, and presentation, beautifully reflecting their shared commitment to quality and detail.

In the end, the evening was not only about trends, it was about people. Participants left with a shared conviction: the future of hospitality will be shaped by brands and leaders who collaborate, innovate, and uphold a people-first mindset. As SAINT BELLA expands globally and hotels continue elevating guest experience, the dinner reaffirmed the importance of aligned values and open dialogue in moving the industry forward.
