Accor has announced a collaboration between its ultra-luxury brand Raffles and Galaxy Entertainment Group on the development of an all-suite Raffles at Galaxy Macau, slated to open later this year.
Located on the resort’s east promenade, the 450-key Raffles at Galaxy Macau is an architectural landmark featuring a glass airbridge connecting the two towers on every floor. The design of each suite draws inspiration from a modern palazzo, with a selection of suites featuring their own private pools and gardens, while a small number of unique loft suites feature double-storey windows. The famed Raffles butlers, renowned for their thoughtful and discreet service, will personally deliver a level of enlightened hospitality that is both gracious and intuitive for each and every guest.
In a world first, the luxury hotel will turn its guestrooms into a multi-usage canvas with Samsung The Frame Hospitality in every room, switching from globally curated art to in-room entertainment features with just one click. This concept will provide guests with customised experiences and a personalized ambience.
The suites in the new luxury tower will also offer access to Raffles’ signature afternoon tea experience, the Raffles’ hallmark Long Bar – provenance of the iconic Singapore Sling – and The Glass House. Set amidst a Mediterranean-inspired garden, The Glass House is within a few steps of the Raffles’ private infinity edge pool.
Still to be announced are details on a luxury Spa and a specialty restaurant rumoured to be helmed by a multi-Michelin-starred Japanese chef, both located close to the lobby.
Raffles at Galaxy Macau will offer bespoke comfort and privacy, designed intuitively around the needs of each guest, from thoughtfully tailored relaxation and intimate fine dining to an array of bespoke leisure activities, entertainment and luxury shopping at Galaxy Macau, directly connected to the lobby podium.
“The Raffles brand and heritage is perfectly complementary to our strategy of delivering greater, elevated experiences, and true to our “World Class, Asian Heart” mantra,” says Francis Lui, Vice Chairman of GEG. “This collaboration with Raffles and Accor in the development of Raffles at Galaxy Macau brings yet another differentiated luxury perspective and dimension in GEG’s growing portfolio and estate.”
“We are incredibly proud to be collaborating with GEG for the Raffles located at Galaxy Macau, the most ultra-luxurious experience in Macau,” comments Gary Rosen, Chief Executive Officer with Accor Greater China. “As a key destination on the global map, Macau is ideal for our next Raffles. The Raffles at Galaxy Macau will invite guests to experience Raffles’ legendary service and impeccable design, offering an oasis of luxury, glamour and adventure in one of the world’s most exciting destinations.”
“This collaboration with GEG marks an important milestone for Raffles Hotels & Resorts and creates a stunning addition to the excitement in Macau,” reveals Sébastien Bazin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer with Accor. “As a future flagship of Accor’s luxury portfolio, we are confident that Raffles at Galaxy Macau will exceed our guests’ expectations.”
