Luxury Hotels Atlas / The Maison / Artyzen
Artyzen hotels
Asian city hotels take their design cues from local crafts, histories and ways of living.
Artyzen makes hotels around the heritage and habits of the Asian cities it knows, drawing on the address rather than importing a uniform house style. Shun Tak Holdings launched the group in 2013 under Pansy Ho, with Rogier Verhoeven and Robbert van der Maas bringing experience from MGM Macau, Hyatt, and Four Seasons.

History
Artyzen Grand Lapa carries Macau’s Portuguese and Chinese histories into the stay. A replica of the sixteenth-century Window of Tomar and blue-and-white work by Macanese artist Carlos Marreiros sit within a building whose structure dates to the 1970s. The hotel later earned LEED Gold for an existing building, while its spa rooms open onto private gardens.
