MGM China Holdings Ltd. announced last week that the Emerald Villa of MGM Cotai was the first integrated resort in Macau to receive two major interior design awards. Resort officials accepted the SBID International Design Awards 2021 and the Platinum MUSE Design Awards in interior design categories.
MGM China President and CFO Kenneth Feng Xiaofeng said in the statement that at MGM, “Craftsmanship reigns supreme. It is a great honor that we attained both prestigious titles which serve as testimony to our pursuit of excellence.”
The Emerald Villa is the latest luxury accommodation at the resort, along with the Emerald Suites, Skylofts and the Mansion. They all “aim to offer our guests a wide diversity of extraordinary experiences every time they choose to stay with us. Merging tradition, creativity and technology into an eclectically harmonious space, the Emerald Villa is specially catered to stay on top of the latest market trends and appeal to the new generation of family travel.”
Unique design features of the Emerald Villa including the centerpiece diamond-shaped aquarium, which is made of a single block of acrylic carved in multifaceted surfaces that bring out “unique luminance.” The cutting-edge piece “enlivens the three-bedroom villas with its symbol of good fortune and vitality.”
In the one- and two-bedroom villas, a rotatable sand art piece which resembles Chinese landscape paintings “mesmerizes guests with the ebb and flow of sand.” The rooms include gold ingot-inspired bathtubs, rhythmic interactive lighting wall features and Rio chaise lounges by famed Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer.
According to the statement, MGM Cotai is the only mega complex and hotel in Macau to gain three-star certification in Green Building design and operation. The Emerald Villa embraces eco-friendly practices through design and development processes. The rooms feature renewable engineered wood veneers as wall finishes and a smart lighting system to conserve energy.
