City of Dreams and Hyatt Hotels & Resorts recently opened Grand Hyatt Macau to the public. This new hotel is focused on the leisure customer and business traveler.

Approaching Grand Hyatt Macau, guests are greeted by hotel hosts and guided into the vast lobby, with its staggering, six-storey, approximately 22-meter high ceiling. Water cascades over a giant stainless steel hemisphere, while above it, curved ribbons of stainless steel shower down from an illuminated cloud motif in the ceiling.

For guests, this eye-catching assemblage is just a taste of the aesthetic and spatial drama to follow. Strikingly high ceilings and an abundance of glass and natural daylight feature throughout the contemporary hotel, creating an exceptionally spacious, luxurious atmosphere.

Above the entrance area, the entire second level of the hotel is dedicated to event space. The colossal, pillar-less Grand Ballroom with its approximately eight-meter high ceiling, can accommodate approximately 2,500 people in a theater style and approximately 1,500 people for a banquet style. The Grand Ballroom can also easily divide into four soundproof sections, each with individual control rooms.

Next door, Salão do Teatro is equally impressive. Translating as „show theater‟ in Portuguese, Salão do Teatro is the first event space of its kind, featuring an open show kitchen capable of accommodating up to 50 chefs at a time, and is the only ballroom in Macau blessed that offers natural daylight.

For more informal events, the Pool Deck on Level 3 is an ideal alfresco location and one of the largest outdoor events venues in Macau. Centered around an approximately 40-meter aqua green-tiled swimming pool, the Pool Deck features a stylish water lounge that submerges loungers in shallow water, eight private VIP cabanas and expansive landscaped gardens that can cater a barbecue for up to 500 guests. Adjacent to the Pool Deck is Poolside, an additional outdoor dining area that can accommodate to up to 120 guests.

For its two main restaurants, Grand Hyatt Macau has been inspired by two award-winning eateries in its sister hotels. Beijing Kitchen on Level 1 replicates the highly successful format of Grand Hyatt Beijing‟s Made in China restaurant, and is one of the signature restaurants at City of Dreams. Open 24 hours, the 225-seat restaurant offers indoor and outdoor dining and specialises in authentic Northern Chinese fare.

Meanwhile, mezza9 Macau on Level 3, has been inspired by the famous mezza9 at Grand Hyatt Singapore and focuses on South-East Asian fare with an international influence. Created by the cutting edge Japanese interior design firm SuperPotato, the space is defined by giant roughly-hewn granite blocks creating counters and lining walls, as well as an array of lattice-patterned screens.

At the heart of the hotel is the Lobby Lounge, which comprises two separate components. Beneath the sweeping staircase, a 118-seat wine and champagne bar with live music and is the ideal gathering venue. Meanwhile, in the main lobby itself—highlighted by a striking cluster of burnt orange pendant lights—a coffee bar and patisserie specializes in traditional Portuguese egg tarts, as well as pastries, cakes and homemade chocolates.

Those who prefer to unwind at a more leisurely pace may prefer Isala Spa. Spread over approximately 25,000 square-foot (2,323 square meters), Isala Spa includes 15 treatment rooms and suites, six of which are designed for couples. Each spa suite includes a private bathroom and the majority feature natural daylight. Elsewhere in the spa, guests can indulge themselves in whirlpools, steam rooms and freeze showers. There is also a dedicated foot massage room overlooking private landscaped gardens.
