As you
drive along the Cotai Strip, an incredible structure commands the skyline.
Shaped like an amorphous figure eight, the free-form building looks as though
it’s been wrapped in a web of aluminum and steel. This is Morpheus hotel — one of the last projects by
the late Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid.
If you
find the facade’s exoskeleton to be mesmerizing, just wait until you get
inside. Encircled by perforated, origami-like walls, the lobby atrium sets a
tone of utter refinement. This dramatic all-white space comprises marble
check-in counters, precious artwork and a pristine Morpheus Lounge under an
angular domed roof that mirrors the building’s exterior.
Throughout
the property, beetle-like glass bubble elevators whisk you from one lavish
experience to the next, from ground-floor luxury shops to the rooftop swimming
pool, multiple Alain Ducasse dining outlets, a club lounge and indulgent spa.
At the end of the day, you’ll unwind in one of the hotel’s 770 organically
shaped guest rooms, suites and duplex villas, which are among the largest in Macau.
