Which Zaha Hadid-designed hotel in Macau is named after a Greek god of dreams?
Answer
Morpheus Hotel
Answer
Morpheus Hotel
The Zaha Hadid-designed hotel in Macau named after a Greek god of dreams is Morpheus Hotel.
Morpheus is part of the City of Dreams resort in Cotai, Macau, and opened on June 15, 2018. It was developed by Melco Resorts & Entertainment and designed by Zaha Hadid Architects as a major addition to the resort’s hotel and entertainment complex.
The name refers to Morpheus, the Greek god associated with dreams and sleep. The building’s dramatic form reinforces that theme: two hotel towers are wrapped in a complex structural exoskeleton, with three large voids crossed by skybridges. The design was also influenced by traditional Chinese jade carving.
A common mix-up is confusing Morpheus with nearby Macau landmarks such as The Venetian or Grand Lisboa. Those are major resort properties, but neither is the Hadid-designed hotel named for a Greek dream deity. Morpheus is also notable for its highly unusual column-free interior structure and its 153.7-metre height.
