The "Icon of the New
Macau", designed by the late Pritzker Prize-winning architect Dame Zaha Hadid, targets
to open on June 15

MACAU,
CHINA - Media OutReach - May 16,
2018 (Wednesday) - One of
the most eagerly anticipated developments in Macau's history opened its doors
to media for a sneak peek tour today as Melco Resorts & Entertainment unveiled
its new flagship hotel, Morpheus, at its renowned City of Dreams resort.  Targeting
to open on June 15 as the cornerstone of City of Dreams' Phase III development,
Morpheus is a unique architectural masterpiece designed by the late Dame Zaha
Hadid DBE -- legendary architect and the first woman to be awarded the
prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize. 

Designed by the late Dame Zaha Hadid DBE -- legendary architect and the first woman to be awarded the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize, Morpheus hotel at City of Dreams is the world's first free-form exoskeleton-bound high-rise architectural composition. 

A
bold and distinctive icon of the new Macau, Morpheus is the first hotel brand
to be wholly developed and created by Melco, and offers an ultra-luxurious
addition to the already impressive range of world-class hotel facilities at
City of Dreams.  As well as bringing a new level of sophistication and
contemporary design to the city's hospitality scene, Morpheus also marks the
latest in a succession of striking "world's first" contributions that Melco has
brought to Macau, strengthening the city's development into a World Centre of
Tourism and Leisure and demonstrating the company's long-term commitment to the
city. 

The spectacular atrium comprising a 35-meter-high space will greet guests upon entering Morpheus and give an incredible view of the intriguing lower void. 

A Spectacular Architectural Composition, A Triumph of Design

The
design of Morpheus is inspired by jade artefacts, and the building is the
world's first free-form exoskeleton-bound high-rise architectural composition,
incorporating a number of architectural and technological breakthroughs.  A
series of voids within the building implies an abstract figure of eight,
displaying a unique aesthetic and creating exciting internal spaces, while the amount
of steel used to achieve this composition totaled four times the weight of the wrought
iron used to build the Eiffel Tower. 

The spectacular atrium comprising a 35-meter-high space will greet guests upon entering Morpheus and give an incredible view of the intriguing lower void. 

The interior spaces were designed to allow guests to become fully immersed in the
hotel's contemporary futuristic hospitality experience, with approximately 770 five-star
guest rooms, suites and villas, including three ultra-luxurious pool villas and
six duplex villas.  Upon entering the hotel, guests are greeted by a spectacular
atrium comprising a 35-meter-high space that looks directly up into the lower
void.  Twelve panoramic lifts within the atrium provide guests with incredible
views of both the atrium and the outside space as they travel between the voids
of the building.

A Taste of Unparalleled Luxury

A feast
for all the senses, Morpheus promises guests an alluring array of premium dining
experiences from around the world.  Legendary chef Alain Ducasse is building the
World of Ducasse at Morpheus, which is a global culinary first: an entire floor
dedicated to two Ducasse restaurants and a bar.  Alain Ducasse at Morpheus is
the celebrated chef's first fine dining outpost in Macau which will serve up
his signature expression of French contemporary haute cuisine, transporting
diners to France from the first bite until the last.  Voyages by Alain Ducasse,
meanwhile, is a new concept that has been tailor-made for City of Dreams and
will offer a unique take on Asian cuisines inspired by Ducasse's travels over
the past 30 years, as well as his most recent culinary discoveries.

Hermé Lounge brings the unique universe of tastes, sensations and pleasures
created by Pierre Hermé, described by
