At Penthouse, Fuentes will oversee restaurant operations as the property continues to position itself as a lifestyle and hospitality destination in Mumbai.

Bruno Fuentes said, "What excites me most about Mumbai is its incredible energy. It's a city that blends rich heritage with modern ambition and is constantly evolving. I've always admired the warmth of Indian people and I'm excited to experience that every day. I'm equally looking forward to exploring the city's dynamic food and beverage scene, from iconic local favourites like Vada Pav to the innovative restaurants and bars that are constantly pushing creative boundaries."

Having worked across Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Bangkok, Fuentes brings international experience in developing dining concepts and managing restaurant and bar operations in luxury hospitality environments.

he added, "Guests may remember what they ate or drank, but they never forget how a place made them feel. For me, it's about creating an atmosphere where every detail feels considered, every interaction feels genuine and every visit leaves guests wanting to come back."

The appointment comes as Mumbai's hospitality sector continues to witness growing demand for experience-led dining and nightlife destinations, with luxury hotels increasingly investing in specialised food and beverage leadership to strengthen their offerings.
