Galaxy Macau Combines Paris & Shanghai With Members-Only “China Rouge” Lounge
Private Performance Lounge Will Open On March 30
China Rouge is part Parisian cabaret, part Old Shanghai
Launched last summer by casino magnate Francis Lui, the $1.9 billion Galaxy Macau has been working to entice more mainland Chinese visitors by complementing its vast gaming floor with more entertainment offerings. The massive complex, which includes three hotels with over 2,000 rooms, 50 restaurants, a nine-screen 3D cinema and 1,000 square meter coliseum, is aimed at bringing in more tourists (and their families) along with gamblers, and keeping them in Macau far longer.
This month, the Galaxy Macau will roll out its newest venue geared towards China’s high-rollers. Following the proliferation of private clubs throughout the Chinese mainland in recent years, the Galaxy’s new members-only performance lounge, China Rouge, will open on March 30. A combination showroom and bar/lounge, China Rouge will host regular concerts and combine the over-the-top design cues of Old Shanghai with modern art and technology.
Designed by Alan Chan, China Rouge is an interesting mix of 19th century Parisian cabaret, Jazz Age Shanghai club, and 21st century lounge. Interiors are decked out with a collection of commissioned artwork by some of China’s most up-and-coming artists, such as Chen Man, Buhua, Deng Xinli, Li Jian and Zheng Lu.
China Rouge is designed as a sanctuary amid Macau's booming casino scene
As Francis Lui said this week of China Rouge, “There’s nothing else to compare it to in Southern China. We call China Rouge our ‘forbidden chamber,’ in part for its exotic ambiance, and in part because only the select few will be able to explore its offerings…The music and entertainment will also be first-rate, as our guests for the opening launch party will experience firsthand.”
Along with a split-level performance hall, China Rouge’s kitchen offers Chinese classics and fusion dishes, while its bar and lounge has an impressive wine list and mixologists on hand to whip up original cocktails and old standbys alike.
