Weay Cheng is General Manager of MAHA Beijing Club & Residences and a senior member of the MAHAMAN team in China. Based in Beijing, he is responsible for the overall management and operations of the property, with a focus on delivering the highly personalized service and residential experience that are central to MAHAMAN’s approach to luxury hospitality.

Weay brings more than 25 years of international hospitality experience, much of it developed with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. Beginning his career at Four Seasons Hotel Singapore in 1995, he went on to hold leadership positions across rooms, food and beverage, human resources, training and recreation in a diverse range of international markets.

Nick Fung serves as Executive Director of Asia at MAHAMAN, where he provides development & design leadership across the group’s hospitality and residential portfolio. An architect and designer by training, Mr. Fung has worked closely with Adrian Zecha and Jonathan Breene for more than 25 years, developing a shared design philosophy centered on authenticity, restraint and a strong connection between architecture, interiors, landscape and the experience of place.

Their collaboration began with The Setai Miami Beach, where Mr. Fung contributed to the creation of a distinctive design language that brought together Asian influences and the architectural character of Miami Beach. The project established many of the principles that have continued to inform their work together: respect for context and culture, disciplined design, natural materials and an understanding of how architecture must support both service and the guest experience.

Mr. Fung subsequently collaborated with Mr. Zecha and Mr Breene on a number of significant hospitality and residential projects, including Aman at the Summer Palace in Beijing, Ahn Luh and MAHA Club & Residences Beijing. Across these projects, his approach has remained deliberately understated, seeking to create environments that feel authentic to their location rather than imposing a predetermined design language.

At MAHA Club & Residences Beijing, Mr. Fung helped develop a residential concept that reinterpreted the relationship between luxury hospitality and the primary urban home. Rather than applying a traditional resort model to a residential environment, the project considered how the principles of hospitality—privacy, service, wellness and social connection—could be integrated naturally into everyday life. MAHA Club was conceived as an extension of the residence, providing a private social and wellness environment for residents and their guests.

At MAHAMAN, Mr. Fung works closely with the founders, architects, interior designers and landscape teams to establish and maintain the design direction of each project. His role extends beyond architecture and interiors to the broader experience of a property, ensuring that design, service and operations are considered as part of a cohesive whole from the earliest stages of development.

Central to Mr. Fung’s work is the belief that successful luxury design should possess a sense of permanence. Together with Mr. Zecha, he has focused on creating places that mature gracefully, remain relevant beyond changing trends and ultimately become properties of enduring value—environments sufficiently considered and personal to be passed from one generation to the next.
