“I am profoundly gratified to see our vision for the Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau fully realized with the official grand opening of The Palazzo Versace Macau. Our resort features a modern east-meets-west flair, which is consistently woven throughout the property—a theme that Versace has interpreted with unparalleled finesse.”
“The Grand Lisboa Palace now stands out as home to the only couture-focused designer hotels in Macau, positioning our city as one of the few destinations worldwide offering such ultraluxe branded hospitality experiences. I am thrilled that our efforts are contributing to a new dimension in Macau’s status as a World Centre of Tourism and Leisure, attracting a broader spectrum of discerning travellers from across the globe,” told Daisy Ho, Managing Director of SJM Resorts, S.A.
The Grand Opening event was an embrace of the hotel’s synergy between Versace’s luxury lifestyle and the culture, entertainment, and cuisine of Macau. A majestic dragon installation atop the Romanesque columns of the hotel’s outdoor pool area greeted guests at the opening reception in a celebration of both the Year of the Dragon in 2024 and the hotel’s signature dragon motif.
Guests passed through the Jardim Secreto where renowned harpist, Yu Dan and the quintet from Macau Orchestra gave musical performances, before entering The Grand Pavilion for Versace Signatures, a curated display of iconic Atelier Versace and Versace ready-to-wear designs that were shared with guests a unique perspective on the recurring signatures at the heart of the House’s fashion design.
