More photosThe Karl Lagerfeld Macau is a true one-of-a-kind property, holding the distinction of being the only hotel in the world entirely designed by the late fashion legend himself. Opened in 2023 within the Grand Lisboa Palace Resort, it serves as a stunning final masterpiece that captures the designer’s personal aesthetic, blending bold rock-chic style with elegant “modern Chinoiserie.”
Every detail, from the patterns on the walls to the custom-made furniture, was meticulously hand-picked or conceived by Lagerfeld. The lobby is particularly striking, featuring a wall adorned with over 1,000 keys—a playful nod to cinema—and a massive, custom-made 3.5-meter Chinese porcelain vase. His love for literature is also immortalized in “The Book Lounge,” a space housing 4,000 volumes curated directly from his private Parisian library.
The hotel offers 271 opulent rooms and suites that feel like private fashion ateliers. Beyond the aesthetic, guests can enjoy exquisite dining at *Mesa*, where Michelin-starred chef José Avillez presents a creative fusion of Portuguese flavors and local Macanese influences. It’s an immersive experience that feels more like stepping inside a curated art exhibition than a standard hotel stay.
Located in the bustling Cotai district, the hotel puts you at the heart of Macau’s entertainment hub. You are surrounded by world-class attractions, including the sprawling shopping arcades of the Grand Lisboa Palace and nearby marvels like the half-scale Eiffel Tower at The Parisian Macao. For a deeper dive into the city’s culture, the historic ruins and charming temples of old Macau remain just a short journey away.
Expert reviews
“The presence of Chanel’s former creative director looms large, with an enormous silhouette of the ponytailed designer staring out across the lobby. It doesn’t end there – there’s also a giant chrome statue of his head and even the backs of chairs are branded with his likeness.”
“In a city packed with luxurious resorts, THE KARL LAGERFELD hotel took the opulence to new heights when it opened in December 2021. Set within Grand Lisboa Palace Resort in Macau’s buzzing Cotai district, the 271-room tower is the world’s only hotel entirely designed by the late fashion legend.”

Other Macau hotels
Grand Coloane Resort, Macau
The Grand Coloane Resort offers a peaceful, Mediterranean-style escape on the southeastern tip of Coloane Island. Formerly known as The Westin Macau, it was acquired by the Ho family in 2014. The resort is uniquely terraced into the mountainside, ensuring that every single one of its 208 rooms features a private, spacious balcony with unobstructed views of the South China Sea.
Fodors + 2 more“This is where you can truly get away from it all: it’s built into the side of a cliff, and each of its rooms has an ocean view. The white-and-beige color schemes are soothing; the vast private terraces are ideal for alfresco dining and afternoon naps.”
MGM Cotai, Macau
MGM Cotai is a marvel of modern architecture, designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates to resemble nine oversized, stacked jewelry boxes. Since opening in 2018, this $3.4 billion resort has become a standout on the Cotai Strip, not just for its luxury gaming, but for its commitment to culture. It holds the Guinness World Record for the largest free-span, self-supporting gridshell glass roof, which covers its central atrium, "The Spectacle."
Lonely Planet + 2 more“MGM Cotai has 1400 impeccable rooms, including duplex sky-lofts and studios, all in a light and refreshing palette. There’s also a gym with panoramic views, and a chic and soothing spa. But the star here is the four-storey atrium just past the reception lobby.”
Rocks Hotel, Macau
The Rocks Hotel is a distinctive boutique property nestled within the Macau Fisherman’s Wharf complex. Built around 2006, it stands out for its unique architectural style, which is modeled after the elaborate charms of 18th-century Victorian-era buildings. This elegant design choice offers a nostalgic contrast to the hyper-modern skyline that defines much of the surrounding city.
Lonely Planet + 2 more“All rooms at this elegant faux Victorian-style boutique hotel have a balcony – most with a view of the bay. Unlike most hotels of this price in Macau, the Rocks doesn’t have a casino attached.”
Hotel Sintra, Macau
Hotel Sintra has been a fixture in Macau since it opened in 1975. Rising 14 floors above the city, it offers a blend of classic charm and practicality, making it a reliable choice for travelers who appreciate a touch of nostalgia alongside their modern conveniences.
Frommers + 1 more“If downtown Macau is where you want to be, this modestly priced member of the Lisboa hotel group is a short walk away from Senado Square and the other World Heritage sites that make up the Historic Centre of Macau.”
