City of Dreams Hotel Tower

Cotai, Macau

Melco Crown Entertainment, a developer and owner of casino gaming and entertainment resort facilities in Asia, has unveiled the project details and design of the fifth hotel tower at City of Dreams, the company’s flagship property in Cotai, Macau.

With 40 fl oors and a gross fl oor area of 150,000 square meters, the tower houses approximately 780 guestrooms, suites and sky villas. The hotel also includes a variety of meeting and event facilities, gaming rooms, lobby atrium, restaurants, spa, and sky pool. Including extensive back of house areas and supporting ancillary facilities, the tower’s design resolves the many complex programs for the hotel within a single cohesive envelope.

Facade Detail

The design combines dramatic public spaces and generous guest rooms with innovative engineering and formal cohesion. Therectangular outline of the site is extruded as a monolithic block with a series of voids which carve through the its centre of the tower, merging traditional architectural elements of roof, wall and ceiling to create a sculptural form that defi nes many of the hotel’s internal public spaces.

Hotel Entrance

The tower’s exposed exoskeleton reinforces the dynamism of the design. Expressive and powerful, this external structure optimizes the interior layouts and envelops the building, further defi ning its formal composition and establishing relationships with the new Cotai strip. Development of the new hotel at City of Dreams commenced in 2013. The project is expected to open in early 2017.
