Melco Resorts & Entertainment has announced that REM, a new luxury hotel at City of Dreams Macau, will officially open this October. The property welcomed its first guests in August through an invitation-only program and has drawn attention for a bold design philosophy and a boundary-pushing approach to hospitality. Its full debut brings a stay inspired by the idea of “Shake You Awake,” built on pioneering spatial design, highly personalized service, and an exceptional level of privacy.
The Concept
REM takes its name from Rapid Eye Movement, the sleep stage in which the brain is most active and dreams feel startlingly vivid. The hotel borrows from that idea to create an immersive sanctuary that moves between reality and imagination. It is aimed at trend-conscious travelers seeking high-energy, high-style experiences, well-traveled tastemakers, and guests who value privacy and personal attention. Reflected light, layered materials, and a carefully choreographed layout shape a journey that unfolds from the exterior to the interior and from the visible to the concealed.
The Arrival
The experience begins before guests reach the front desk. At the porte-cochère, cascading crimson light trails arc overhead and draw visitors away from the bustle outside. A textured portal made of petrified wood opens onto a luminous corridor that feels like a hidden sanctuary beyond time and space. In the lobby, two arched private lounges offer an intimate setting for check-in, and most room types allow guests to check in inside the room, accompanied by a dedicated butler. The approach keeps privacy and flexibility at the center of the stay.
The Rooms
REM has 149 rooms, mostly suites, across seven room types: Premier Room, Twilight Suite, Luminous Suite, Euphoria Suite, Hypnotic Suite, The Haven, and The Lair. Each has its own character, but all share a palette of rich red set against cool, shimmering metallic tones, with shifting layers of light and shadow. The atmosphere adapts to each guest’s mood, whether the goal is quiet contemplation, a lively gathering, or a restorative evening in.
The Lair. The hotel’s ultimate expression crowns the 30th floor as a 1,200-square-meter private world above Cotai. Dedicated elevators lead directly to the villa, which has a 360-degree rotating bed dressed in crimson velvet, an infrared sauna, a swing sofa, a private wellness and bathing sanctuary, and a signature indoor-outdoor pool suspended above the Cotai Strip. A crystal basketball hoop, a DJ booth, and a metallic bar add an energetic social edge. Private butler service lets guests control every detail of the stay.
The Haven. Contemporary art defines this suite, where curated wall art and photography play with fashion-forward light and shadow. A sleek bar area suits gatherings, and a private butler is on hand to anticipate guests’ needs.
The Hypnotic Suite. Bold, opulent patterns and textures interact with dynamic lighting to blur the line between reality and illusion. Private butler service, a swing sofa, and a 360-degree rotating bed complete the setting.
The Euphoria Suite. Sweeping views of the Cotai skyline come with a swing sofa and private wellness facilities, including an infrared sauna.
The Luminous Suite. Facing east, this suite features a rotating bed that lets guests change their view at will and wake to the first golden light of the day.
The Twilight Suite. Inspired by Macau’s nocturnal skyline, the suite layers light and shadow to define the space. Its signature swing sofa sits near the window, ideal for watching dusk settle over the city.
The Premier Room. The entry-level category carries the same daring approach, using color, texture, and light to create an intimate sensory retreat.
Every room includes an in-room control tablet, a soaking bathtub, an experiential rain shower, bathroom floor heating, a built-in Bluetooth speaker, and a maxi bar. An intelligent control system lets guests adjust the ambience easily. Select room types offer accessible configurations and both king and twin beds.
Pool, Dining, and Wellness
On the third floor, an outdoor pool echoes the lines of the hotel’s architecture and feels like an oasis floating above the city. Beside it, the all-day dining venue Reverie Café takes its name from the notions of life as a dream and imagination without boundaries, pairing a relaxed poolside mood with culinary exploration. The fitness center is the first in Macau to feature the premium Life Fitness Symbio series, combining biomechanical precision with refined luxury in a bright, airy space with professional personal training.
The Neighborhood
REM joins Morpheus, known for its futuristic architecture, and NÜWA, inspired by refined oriental elegance, at City of Dreams Macau. Together the three hotels reinforce the resort’s position as a place where futuristic artistry, innovation, and contemporary luxury meet. Guests can also step into Michelin-starred dining, the water spectacle “House of Dancing Water,” luxury retail, and pioneering works by leading contemporary artists.
Opening: October 2026, City of Dreams Macau
