City of Dreams is an integrated resort and entertainment destination located in the heart of Cotai, Macau. Completed in 2009, the development combines gaming, hospitality, retail and entertainment facilities within one of Macau’s largest mixed-use tourism projects.
Developed by Melco International Development Limited, City of Dreams was designed by Arquitectonica International Corporation and Leigh & Orange Limited, and constructed by a joint venture comprising Leighton Asia, John Holland and China State Construction Engineering. The project had a value of HK$18 billion and occupies a 28-acre site with a gross floor area exceeding 650,000 m².
The development comprises a three-storey podium incorporating a mega-casino, more than 200 retail outlets and hotel guest facilities. City of Dreams includes approximately 39,000 m² of gaming space, accommodating 550 gaming tables and 1,500 gaming machines. The resort also featured more than 20 restaurants and bars, together with 16,300 m² of high-end retail space across two levels.
The project includes four hotel towers: Crown Towers, Grand Hyatt Macau, Hyatt Regency and Hard Rock Hotel. City of Dreams also houses the House of Dancing Water, a purpose-built entertainment attraction that had become one of Macau’s best-known live performance venues.
