Located three minutes from the iconic Shanghai Bund, Oriental Pearl Tower and the new Shanghai Tower is the Bulgari Hotel, opens this month. Although the property is in the heart of the city, it promises a setting that is peaceful and exclusive as it is among private gardens, historic buildings, and art galleries. The hotel occupies the top eight floors of a 48-storey building. Guests will be able to enjoy the stunning panoramic views of Shanghai’s skyline. The hotel has 82 rooms and aims to provide guests with personalised services in addition to its extensive facilities. A 2000-square-metre spa, a fitness centre, a yoga studio, meeting facilities, and eight restaurants and bars guarantee guests a memorable stay.
Melco Resorts & Entertainment’s new flagship hotel in Macau, Morpheus, opens mid-June. This new addition to the City of Dreams was designed by the first woman to be awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize, the late Zaha Hadid. The hotel combines contemporary and futuristic elements. The hotel features Alain Ducasse’s “The World of Ducasse”, with an entire floor dedicated to two of his restaurants – one contemporary French and the other Asian-inspired – and a bar. Pierre Hermé has collaborated with the Morpheus in creating a lounge where guests can indulge in pastries. The Morpheus is also home to Yi, the only Chinese fine-dining restaurant in Asia that serves food omakase style. There is a unique in-house Spa Butler service, and a Snow Garden installation – creating a space that is truly relaxing for its guests.
