To call him a fashion czar almost falls a little short. Because before the German designer died in 2019, he shaped the fortunes of numerous luxury brands. For example, Balmain, Patou, Chloé and, above all, Chanel. For over 60 years, Karl Lagerfeld was active as a designer, photographer, artist, perfume developer and costume designer. During the last years of his life, he worked intensively on the concept of his THE KARL LAGERFELD hotel. And now it sees the light of day in the Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau.

The only one of its kind

The hotel tower at the Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau is the only hotel in the world fully designed by Lagerfeld. Its design vision combines chinoiserie with traditional craftsmanship. And this combination of modernity and tradition carries over from the public spaces into the 271 rooms and suites. Here, classic Chinese design meets contemporary Western aesthetics.

In addition to a strong color palette and expressive patterns, it's the thoughtful details that evoke admiration. Here, nothing was left to chance. For example, the headboards are reminiscent of Chinese coins. They are supposed to symbolize good luck. The porcelain vases come from Jingdezhen. And they are, of course, handmade. The exclusive sculptures come from the Dutch designer Marcel Wanders and the French artist Jean-Michel-Othoniel.

THE KARL LAGERFELD Hotel: Pure luxury

Wherever you look, the eyes remain glued to the traces of Lagerfeld's creative genius. Of course, the extravagant rooms and suites are not the only things guests can look forward to. Because also little things like luxurious bathrobes or the bed linen are unparalleled.
