Melco Resorts & Entertainment has revealed the interior design of REM for the first time, as the new 149-room hotel at City of Dreams Macau begins a phased opening ahead of its grand opening after October’s Golden Week.
The company said Monday that REM is currently operating on an invitation-only basis.
REM comprises predominantly suites across seven room categories. Its facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness center and Reverie Café, located beside the third-floor pool.
Images released by Melco show interiors built around a red and metallic color palette, with extensive use of lighting across the lobby, guestrooms and suites.
The hotel takes its name from rapid eye movement, the stage of sleep associated with vivid dreams. It joins Morpheus and Nüwa as part of the hotel portfolio at City of Dreams Macau.
During Melco’s second-quarter earnings call on Thursday, Chairman and CEO Lawrence Ho said REM had already soft-opened and was gradually ramping up ahead of the post-Golden Week launch.
Ho described the property as “highly differentiated” from other luxury hotels in Macau and said it would complement City of Dreams’ existing five-star accommodation.
The opening forms part of a broader renovation of City of Dreams Macau, including a redesign of its retail areas.
City of Dreams Macau recorded total operating revenue of $632.2 million in the second quarter, down 11 percent year-on-year. Adjusted EBITDA fell 34.5 percent to $147.8 million, primarily due to softer rolling-chip and mass-market table games performance.
