Galaxy Entertainment Group said Wednesday it plans to hold a soft opening of its newest hotel brand – Raffles at Galaxy Macau – on 16 August with a grand opening planned for late 2023.
The impending launch of Raffles at Galaxy Macau will see the world-famous Raffles brand enter the Macau market for the first time, featuring around 450 luxury suites plus a Mediterranean-inspired garden, infinity edge pool, luxury spa and fine dining restaurant, among others.
According to information from GEG, Galaxy Macau will unveil an exclusive “first look” at several dining venues this month, followed by a soft opening to the public on 16 August, when further details on upcoming features are to be revealed.
“A grand opening, celebrating the addition of the remaining signature restaurants, bar, and a spa, is expected towards the end of the year,” the company said.
Already announced as part of the Raffles at Galaxy Macau experience are a “digital canvas” with a glass airbridge connecting the hotel’s two towers on every floor, a Mediterranean-inspired pool terrace and garden elevated over Galaxy Macau’s Grand Resort Deck, a champagne and oyster bar, and a signature Sushi-Kappo concept overseen by Chef and Sushi Master Masaaki Miyakawa, one of the only 5 Three-Star Michelin sushi chefs in Japan.
There will also be a local adaptation of the brand’s historic Long Bar, designed by Joyce Wang and described as a “very unexpected and modern take on the 108-year-old heritage gin bar” at the original Raffles in Singapore – home of the Singapore Sling.
Raffles at Galaxy Macau becomes the latest of 18 Raffles hotels globally, including locations in Shenzhen, Hainan, London and Paris among others.
