A Grand Celebration for SJM Resorts’ latest property, THE KARL LAGERFELD MACAU, the world’s only hotel tower that boasts interiors designed by the late German fashion legend, at the Grand Lisboa Palace (GLP) complex was hosted on Saturday, according to a statement from the luxury property provided yesterday.
The event featured “a stellar line-up of A-list local and international celebrities”, including Malaysian-Chinese actress and Academy Award Winner Michelle Yeoh Choo Kheng (楊紫瓊).
The statement quoted SJM Holdings Limited Chairman and Executive Director, as well as SJM Resorts, S.A., Managing Director Daisy Ho Chiu Fung as saying: “Lagerfeld’s ‘Europe Meets China’ interpretation encapsulates the very essence of Macau’s East-meets-West history… it also captures the spirit of SJM’s unwavering mission – to push the boundaries of modern hospitality while honouring the rich heritage that underpins our foundation.”
Meanwhile, Karl Lagerfeld CEO Pier Paolo Righi was quoted as saying: “This is also a significant moment to celebrate this hotel tower as being the last project revealed to the world that Karl entirely interior designed. I can say without a doubt that he would have loved to be here with us today to see it come to life”.
Lagerfeld, born in Hamburg, northern Germany, in 1933, passed away in Neuilly-sur-Seine, northern France, in 2019.
After the officiating ceremony at the lobby, guests were invited to THE KARL LAGERFELD Experience, which showcased Lagerfeld’s modern and monochromatic aesthetic, the statement said. Culinary delights were served at The Grand Pavilion, where a party was also hosted along with performances.
Meanwhile, the statement said that guests arriving at the property can also get immersed in “a “one-of-a-kind sensory experience” created by Lagerfeld, noting examples such as The Book Lounge at the lobby that draws inspiration from his passion for books and the authentic and contemporary Portuguese cuisine by Michelin star chef José Avillez in Mesa.
