The soft opening of this sophisticated hotel tower at Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau (“Grand Lisboa Palace”) not only offer exquisite accommodation, luxurious relaxation, but also an unparalleled expression of the designer's aesthetic universe through epicurean pleasures.
Known as Karl Lagerfeld’s only hotel masterwork in the world, the distinctive THE KARL LAGERFELD hotel tower at Grand Lisboa Palace reflects the namesake designer’s unrivaled creative visions, offering an immersive experience of his striking design and an aspirational, cutting-edge approach to style. Exquisitely harmonizing the East-meets-West cultural elegance of the resort, the designer tower is going to mark a redefinition of ultra-luxurious hospitality in town.
“The interior design of THE KARL LAGERFELD, with its unique and lavish blend of Chinese and Western aesthetics, showcases the creativity of the legendary designer Karl Lagerfeld, going beyond his widely-known accomplishments in fashion. We believe that our guests will be impressed by his iconic style that runs throughout the hotel tower. SJM is proud to bring THE KARL LAGERFELD to Macau, a testament to the luxury and uniqueness of the Grand Lisboa Palace, the first integrated resort to introduce a fashion hotel concept to our city’s hospitality scene.” said Ms. Daisy Ho, Chairman of the Board of Directors of SJM.
“THE KARL LAGERFELD is the first and only hotel tower in the world to be entirely designed by Karl … top to bottom, start to finish,” said Pier Paolo Righi, CEO of KARL LAGERFELD. “A unique interior design project for Karl in China and a labor of love for over 5 years, he was able to complete the design before his passing — designing and approving each element of the hotel tower. He was extremely proud to have worked on a luxury project of this magnitude, with a team he loved, to create his vision of ‘Europe meets China.’ It’s also a great point of pride for the brand to carry on his legacy, and we’re thrilled to have brought to life one of the final great accomplishments of his career,” said Pier Paolo Righi, CEO of KARL LAGERFELD.

Every detail of the 271 rooms and suites exemplifies the designer's pursuit of perfection, from specially commissioned furniture to the circular room dividers referencing traditional Chinese moon gates. The Chinoiserie-inspired room décor embodies Karl Lagerfeld's cosmopolitan lifestyle and distinct aesthetic vision. With each pattern, material and decoration personally conceived or selected by the designer, guests can expect to be amazed by a talent that knew no bounds.
