The hotel formerly known as Crown was recently rebranded as Nüwa, complete with classic Chinese influences. Likewise, the old Hard Rock hotel has a new name too – Libertine. When combined, the three hotels – with Morpheus leading the way – aim to position City of Dreams as the very height of Macau luxury. Whether successful or not, Morpheus certainly makes for a fascinating addition to the Cotai skyline. 繁简交融 摩珀斯的精美设计不仅在其餐饮领域有完美呈现。水 疗、酒店客房及别墅亦毫不逊色，由出生于澳门的世界知 名室内设计师 Peter Remedios担纲设计。他告诉WGM， 尽管他认为博彩将始终在澳门扮演重要角色，但“酒店客 房不必看起来和娱乐场一样……而应该是一个让你卸下疲 惫的休憩之所。” 在这样的概念指引下，Remedios利用光线和氛围营 造出一个极具休闲感的空间。他尤其喜欢这座造型独特的 建筑在光线方面所提供的设计空间，以及关注每一个细节 如何成为整个创作过程中不可或缺的部分。 摩珀斯的建筑理念源自已故设计师扎哈• 哈迪德女爵 士——全球第一位赢得普利兹克奖的女性。哈迪德的设计 常与正统的建筑潮流背道而驰。在摩珀斯酒店，曲线成为 其设计的基础元素。 这座160米高的外骨骼结构建筑由混凝土和钢筋打造 而成，高39层。置身其中，会禁不住着迷于其庞大体积、 宏伟规模及难以言喻的梦幻氛围。哈迪德正是要制造一种 出其不意之感。 正如 Remedios所说：“扎哈所做的就是打开了创新 之大门。光顾摩珀斯酒店的客人是在找寻一种非比寻常的 体验，而我们正是基于这一点在室内设计上做出回应。其 设计的流畅性意味着，当您在空间中穿行时，会不断发现 新的细节。转过一个拐角，又有新的发现。例如你看到酒 吧，大多数酒店称之为迷你酒吧，而在摩珀斯，它们就是 大型酒吧，自上而下占据很大空间。浴室完全不同，浴缸 亦独一无二，专为摩珀斯打造。我们拥有一个定制家具系 列。摩珀斯是举世无双的。” Tangled simplicity Morpheus’ exquisite design is not just the property of its restaurants. Macau-born Peter Remedios was responsible for the interior design of the spa, hotel rooms and villas and told WGM that, even though he considers gaming to be an important constant inMacau, “hotel rooms don’t need to look like a casino ... you want this place to let you recharge.” With such a concept in mind, Remedios developed spaces where the light and ambience transmit a sense of relaxation. In particular he loves the opportunity the building offers to the design in terms of light and how carefully paying attention to every small detail was part of the creative process. The architectural concept for Morpheus was fathered by the late Zaha Hadid – the first woman to win the prestigious Pritzker prize. Hadid’s designs frequently defied orthodox architectural currents and in Morpheus she has used the curve as a foundation element. The 160-meter-high tangled exoskeleton of concrete and steel envelops 39 floors, within which it is easy to become captivated by its sheer size, scale and atmosphere. Hadid’s idea was to develop a building that is never quite what it appears to be. As Remedios says, “What Zaha has done is opened the door to innovation within the project. “Aguestwho is coming toMorpheus is looking for avery different experience so we responded by creating interiors that build upon that – the fluidity of her design means that as you travel through the spaces, you discover things, you discover details. You turn a corner and something else happens … you see the bar for example. Most hotels call them mini-bars, at Morpheus they are maxi-bars – floor to ceiling. The bathrooms are totally different, the bathtubs are one of a kind because they were created for Morpheus. We created a bespoke furniture collection. Morpheus is one of a kind.”
