Melco International Development Ltd has revealed that it plans to complete upcoming renovation work to Nüwa hotel at City of Dreams in Macau before Chinese New Year in 2020.
Releasing its 2018 Interim Report this week, Melco International Development – which holds a 51.3% stake in its casino arm Melco Resorts & Entertainment Ltd – also provided new details on the upcoming redevelopment of The Countdown Hotel ahead of its rebranding as Libertine.
According to the report, the renovation of Nüwa will commence immediately after Chinese New Year in 2019 “with the rolling refurbishment of the hotel anticipated to conclude before the Chinese New Year in 2020.”
Meanwhile, work on The Countdown hotel is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2019 with Melco describing the new Libertine as “a funky rebel branded hotel” that will complement the company’s City of Dreams portfolio with “guestrooms that are luxurious yet ultra-cool.”
“Each of these hotels in City of Dreams will continue to offer guests premium and luxury experiences while retaining its own distinctive style and design and maintaining the same focus on quality and attention to detail,” Melco said.
The company also provided an update on its Cyprus operations, where it is preparing to build the US$600 million City of Dreams Mediterranean. Having launched its temporary Cyprus Casino in Limassol in June, Melco said that three satellite casinos in Nicosia, Larnaca and Paphos will commence operations before the end of 2018 with the fourth in Ayia Napa to launch in the spring of 2019.
City of Dreams Mediterranean will be completed in 2021.
