Ultra Luxury All-Suite Hotel in Macau Named ‘The 13’

Louis XIII Holdings has decided to name its new hotel in Macau ‘The 13’.

The ultra luxury hotel was first announced in 2013 and is expected to open in late summer 2016 at a cost of over US$7 million per room.

“As the business and the brand have developed, we felt that the name ‘The 13’ most accurately reflected our Macau hotel’s combination of Baroque inspiration and contemporary accents,” said Stephen Hung, Co-Chairman. “Our brand represents a unique vision of a global luxury lifestyle based on strong bespoke traditions while embracing modern elements that enhance these traditions. Thirteen is my lucky number and the new name along with the new logo fit perfectly with my vision.”

The company also plans to change its corporate name to “The 13 Holdings Limited” subject to approval by its shareholders and other relevant authorities.

The majority of the hotel’s 200 suites have been named ‘Villa du Comte’ and have a gross floor area of approximately 2,000 square feet. The 31 ‘Villa de Stephen’ are even larger, topping out at an mammoth 30,000 square feet.

Virtually every design detail in the hotel is bespoke and created especially for The 13. Everything from the elaborately detailed Baroque scrollwork, to the sculptures, the fabrics, wall coverings, furniture, tableware, and Rolls-Royce Phantoms were created for Mr. Hung and The 13’s talented team of designers.

“This was a labour of love,” said Mr. Hung. “The team and I put every ounce of creativity and passion we had into this project to ensure every detail was perfect. Our guests, I believe, will find the result truly remarkable and beyond anything they have previously experienced.”

The Villa du Comte is a split-level, one-bedroom villa with the following features:

Private Elevator Lobby: To ensure the ultimate in privacy, all guests access their villas via elevators which open directly into the villa’s private elevator lobby, like a New York style penthouse.

Butler Service: Every villa is supported by 24-hour butler service from The 13’s team of majordome, trained by world famous MCM Palace Consultants and certified by the English Guild of Butlers.

Roman Bath: 6-8 guests can relax in the Villa du Comte’s ornate marble Roman Bath beautifully presented under a vaulted baroque ceiling supported by neo-classical columns and lit by a spectacular crystal chandelier. When not in use, the Roman Bath is covered by a retractable marble floor.

Stained-Glass and Marble Bathroom: Guests bathe under art covered ceilings lit by standing candelabra. A rain shower and electric bidet toilet are hidden behind a floor to ceiling stained-glass façade.

Royal Bedroom: The villa bedroom features a king-size, velvet-canopied bed with an elaborately carved and gilded Baroque headboard in the royal tradition.

Diamond Series Furniture: To complement the Baroque setting, Mr. Hung created, together with leading artisans, a glittering series of faceted chrome furniture for the living room, bedroom and bathroom.

 Rolls-Royce Transportation: On arrival and departure, all hotel guests receive complimentary transfer to and from Macau transportation hubs via The 13’s fleet of bespoke, red, extended wheel base Rolls-Royce Phantoms.

“The 13 connects our international guests to the world’s most coveted luxury experiences and to each other. We are proud that Macau will be establishing a new world standard for ultra-luxury hotels through its native brand, The 13,” said Mr. Hung.
