The late German designer Karl Lagerfeld may be gone, but he’s certainly not forgotten by the Sybaritic Single.
Hot off the heels of the 2023 Met Gala, where the theme was “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty”, the latest homage to Lagerfeld comes in the form of a five-star hotel in Macau.
The Karl Lagerfeld, a 271-key property that will be part of the Grand Lisboa Palace Resort, is set to open in the coming days, set to become the world’s first and only hotel wholly designed by Lagerfeld.
Just as he was known for his meticulous attention to detail as the creative powerhouse behind brands Fendi and Chanel, the designer spent years poring over every detail of the hotel’s interiors – from the custom headboards inspired by auspicious Chinese coins to porcelain vases handmade in Jingdezhen, chandeliers by Terzani and sculptures by artists Marcel Wanders and Jean-Michel Othoniel.
There’s also The Book Lounge in the lobby, featuring 4,000 titles selected by 7L Bookshop, which was owned by Karl. The spectacular collection of books is stacked on soaring floor-to-ceiling shelves, resembling Lagerfeld’s famed personal library at his studio.
It certainly seems like a good reason for the Sybaritic Single to consider a trip to Macau, 10 years after his last visit there.
