History
Star Tower is the original hotel tower of Studio City Macau, the cinematically themed integrated resort by Melco Resorts that opened on October 27, 2015, in the Cotai district. The all-suite tower — 600 suites ranging from about 62 to 185 square metres — was conceived as a Hollywood-inspired luxury address, later earning Forbes Five-Star recognition, with its Zensa Spa also holding a Forbes Five-Star rating.
Studio City's launch was heralded by 'The Audition,' a short film directed by Martin Scorsese and Brett Ratner starring Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio, and the resort's Golden Reel — a figure-eight Ferris wheel billed as the world's first of its kind — became an instant landmark. A second phase (Epic Tower / W Macau), designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, followed in 2023, but Star Tower itself dates to the 2015 opening.
