The Morpheus Hotel is the final masterpiece of the late London-based architectural master Zaha Hadid, further enhancing the hotel’s prestige and buzz.
Zaha Hadid utilized special architectural structures and construction methods to create the hotel’s unique appearance.
The Morpheus Hotel, built at a cost of 1.1 billion USD, is the world’s first building to feature a free-form exoskeleton steel structure. Its exterior resembles a hollowed-out figure-eight shape, drawing design inspiration from jade ornaments in Chinese culture.

The irregular steel structure creates a curved mesh surface, marking a new breakthrough in architectural aesthetics. The amount of high-grade material used in the entire building could build four Eiffel Towers.

Named after the Greek god of sleep, Morpheus, the hotel was originally translated as “Mufanshi” but was later launched as the Morpheus Hotel.
The irregular structure evokes a surreal environment reminiscent of a dream.
