KARL LAGERFELD announces the anticipated international opening of THE KARL LAGERFELD MACAU, an opulent five-star hotel located at The Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau - slated for June 2023. Combining immaculate interiors with unrivaled hospitality, the tower is the only hotel in the world that was wholly designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld. Every element in the hotel exudes his unparalleled creativity, from the extravagant room décor and large-scale installations, to minute details like bathrobes and bedsheets. The grand opening of THE KARL LAGERFELD MACAU will be marked by multi-day celebrations in June; further 
details on the exclusive program of events will follow.

Owned by SJM Resorts S.A., THE KARL LAGERFELD MACAU is the latest addition to the hospitality group’s stellar array of fine hotels. The multisensory hotel experience includes 271 breathtaking rooms; the Mesa Restaurant featuring gastronomic delights by award-winning chef José Avillez; a spectacular Book  Lounge featuring 4,000 handpicked books; and a spa and wellness center including indoor and outdoor swimming pools, all conceived by the late fashion mogul.

Karl Lagerfeld’s design concept stemmed from a sophisticated reimagining of modern Chinoiserie fused with traditional craftsmanship, bold colors and patterns 
meet tailored silhouettes. Each of the 271 rooms and suites showcases influences of both classic Chinese design and contemporary Western aesthetics: custom-created headboards were inspired by auspicious Chinese coins that represent good fortune, while porcelain vases were handmade in Jingdezhen and circular room dividers were inspired by traditional Chinese moon gates. Reflecting Karl Lagerfeld’s passion for collaboration, specially commissioned furnishings include exquisite sculptures by Dutch artist Marcel Wanders and French artist Jean-Michel Othoniel, and Terzani chandeliers.

Prior to his passing in 2019, Karl Lagerfeld worked in close partnership with SJM on the lavish hotel design for years. A comprehensive press kit and imagery are available upon request, with full details of the grand opening celebrations to follow
