Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited is excited to announce
Morpheus as winner of Best Hotel Architecture Macau and Best New
Hotel Construction & Design Macau at Asia Pacific Property
Awards 2019. Morpheus is part of Melco’s flagship integrated
resort, City of Dreams Macau. The USD1.1 billion hotel project is
the world’s first free-form exoskeleton high-rise designed by the
late Dame Zaha Hadid. A renowned global mark of excellence, the
Asia Pacific Property Awards 2019 celebrates the highest levels of
achievement by companies operating in all sectors of the property
and real estate industry. Participants are judged by a highly
experienced team of professionals comprising experts and
experienced members within property-related specialties, including
hospitality.
The achievement follows Morpheus being hailed as
one of the World’s Greatest Places 2018 last year by TIME Magazine,
just two months after its opening, and more recently being named
Building of the Year 2019 by ArchDaily, the world’s most visited
architecture website.
Mr. Lawrence Ho, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Melco Resorts & Entertainment,
said, “We are thrilled to receive the prestigious accolades from
Asia Pacific Property Awards 2019 to recognize Morpheus’ quality
excellence in architecture, construction and design, further
reinforcing Melco’s position as a global premium brand. City of
Dreams’ Morpheus offers a journey of the imagination, presenting

are grateful to the award organizer and judges, and our
architectural, structural and interior design collaborators who

Morpheus represents another stunning world first
contribution Melco has created in Macau, characterized by an
unprecedented level of attention to detail and designed with the
premium guest experience in mind. Morpheus represents several
architectural and technological breakthroughs. The monolithic block
is intriguing in its unconventional architectural construction. A
series of voids offers complexity and volume; the building’s two
towers are connected at the podium levels and at the roof, with two
additional bridges for guests to experience the external voids
within the building.
Located in City of Dreams, an integrated
entertainment resort that has established itself as a premier
leisure and entertainment destination in Macau, Morpheus houses
over 770 guest rooms, suites and villas, an executive lounge, a sky
pool situated 130 meters above ground, the world’s most
fashion-forward brands and retail options, an in-house Spa Butler
concept, as well as VIP gaming and VIP villas on the top floors.
Morpheus offers guests world-class experiences exceeding 5-star
hotel standards. Dining options include Alain Ducasse at Morpheus,
awarded two Michelin-stars less than six months into its opening,
and Voyages, the legendary French chef’s restaurant inspired by his
travels. Yí offers regional Chinese cuisine served omakase-style,
while the king of modern patisserie, Pierre Hermé, has created a
sleek lounge serving the finest delicacies never seen before in
Asia. The hotel also serves as a living gallery featuring original
contemporary art by globally renowned artists KAWS, Jean-Michel
Othoniel and Thilo Heinzmann.
