City of Dreams Macau Hotel

On the Cotai Strip in Macau, building quietly is generally not the custom. Every new hotel here is louder, taller, and more expensive than the last. They built The Venetian — and everyone gasped. They finished The Parisian — and no one gasped anymore, they just photographed the tower. But City of Dreams appeared before them, in 2009, and immediately made it clear: it will live by its own rules.
