Morpheus Hotel, China
Morpheus hotel located in Macau, China, opened in June 2018, is designed by Zaha Hadid Architects.
Using the existing foundations, the architects designed a 40-storey building formed of two circulation cores that connect at the base via a podium, separate, then merge again at rooftop level. An atrium runs the height of the hotel between these two towers, and the hotel's restaurant lounges are located on bridges running through this central void. There are a total of 770 guest rooms, suites and sky villas in the hotel, along with a rooftop spa and pool.
Twelve glass elevators run through the Morpheus, giving guests panoramic views of the hotel's sculptural interiors and Macau spreading out below.
High performance glazing minimizes solar gain, and the ridging of the exoskeleton provides shading.
The Morpheus is part of the City of Dreams in Macau, an "integrated entertainment" resort owned by developers Melco Resorts and Entertainment.
