Tower Of Dreams
Hong Kong Tatler|September 2018

With its extraordinary architecture and top dining and retail options, the new Morpheus in Macau is redefining the luxury hotel experience

Morpheus
Tower Of Dreams

Morpheus is Macau’s latest landmark, a one-of-a-kind resort at the City of Dreams complex designed by Zaha Hadid. Named after the shape-shifting Greek god of dreams, Morpheus is a fitting legacy for the late Iraqi-British architect, known for her futuristic free-flowing designs. Much more than just another building, the unconventionally crafted sculpture merges Hadid’s innovative style with outstanding amenities to create a dreamlike escape for discerning guests.

FREE FLOW

In stark contrast to the Cotai Strip’s many tributes to centuries-old architecture, the US$1.1 billion Morpheus stands out from the city’s skyline with its sensuous curves and sci-fi aesthetic. Billed as the world’s first free-form high-rise architecture, the otherworldly design features a dramatic glass and steel facade, a sculptural design inspired by the ancient Chinese artistry of jade carving. The eye-catching focal point of this architectural marvel is a series of voids that traverse the centre of the hotel, forming two distinct towers connected by two sky bridges.
