the Pearl River Delta region. At 2,800 square meters, it will be the biggest spa in the Banyan Tree group. The most striking entertainment at Galaxy is its
52,000-square-meter deck, where a 350-ton white sand beach frames a 4,000-square-metre skytop wave pool. It is said to be the world’s largest, generating waves as high as 1.5 meters. The resort will also include a set of tropical and
Japanese gardens and a traditional Japanese tea pavilion, among other venues. Rounding out Galaxy Macau’s resort offering will be China Rouge, a hybrid private membership club, performance theatre, bar and restaurant conceptualized by renowned Hong Kong designer Alan Chan to evoke a modern vision of 1930s Shanghai. The venue is also inspired by Chinese literature such as “Dream of the Red Chamber” and “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” and aims to compete with City of Dreams’ Club Cubic. In September, Galaxy plans to open a nine-screen,
customer relations and service.” More than 97 percent of Macau’s almost 25 million
visitors last year were from Asia, according to official statistics. Visitors from the mainland and Hong Kong, which are considered the primary feeder markets, together totalled 22 million or 81 percent. Galaxy Macau’s Asian focus includes its food and
beverage offerings. Upon opening, the property will feature more than 50 international dining outlets, with more than half of them serving Asian cuisines.
Hotels for all The complex will also accommodate three hotels,
all available to guests on the opening day, although only 1,400 of its 2,200 rooms will be ready at that time. Besides Galaxy Macau hotel, the property marks the entry into the local market of two regional hospitality heavyweights: the Singapore-based Banyan Tree Hotels and Resorts and Okura Hotels & Resorts Worldwide. Banyan Tree will bring its first Banyan Tree Spa in
3-D, multi-function cinema theatre. “We introduced the state-of-the-art, 3D cinema theatre to offer something that did not exist in Macau before,” says Mr Lui. “We anticipate being able to host gala premier events, becoming the first choice to catch new movie releases.”
Expanded business
With the opening of Galaxy Macau, the company will have two flagship properties in the territory. Mr Lui doesn’t believe the new resort in Cotai will drive away traffic from StarWorld, located in the peninsula. “Galaxy Macau and StarWorld are two different
types of properties. StarWorld is a premium, VIP, luxury hotel with internationally recognized, award- winning service. With Galaxy Macau we are extending that impeccable service across a mega integrated destination property.” He says Galaxy Group Entertainment expects that
Galaxy Macau “will have an expanded customer base given its vast offerings and larger scale, while StarWorld will continue to be one of the strongest players in the VIP segment in Macau. “The two should be able to coexist successfully and synergistically,” Mr Lui says.
