Hong Kong artist Danny Lee Chin-fai’s three-piece sculpture titled Dance of Clouds and Rain is an awe-inspiring, elemental sight to behold, housed in the skyward-sweeping lobby of the Grande Hyatt Macau. Composed of giant suspended raindrops and water rivulets spilling from clouds in the ceiling, Danny’s pieces sway slightly in the breeze, the soft curves of these stunning show-stoppers dangling harmoniously amongst a sea of geometric modernism.
Sculpted Magic
Rising from the middle of the lobby’s highly-polished, vertigo-inducing floor is a bulbous half-dome fountain covered in silent, flowing water. The effect of light reflected off this moving globe-shaped surface creates such a reflection in the floor that for just an instant you feel like you could be walking upside-down, or even under water.
The Hong Kong Art Scene
A major player on the Hong Kong art scene, Danny’s work is oftentimes said to be evocative of Chinese elements of nature. A former designer and now a full-time sculptor, Danny is also the founder of Creative Sculptors Hong Kong and the chair of the Hong Kong Visual Arts Society. His flowing creations have earned him recognition as a driving force behind contemporary art both at home and abroad.

I stayed at the Hyatt earlier this year and thoroughly enjoyed it. Having stayed at other Hyatts, I have to say this one was a step above. If you are looking for a hotel I def. recommend it. Have a great trip!
I was there about two months ago. It is so grand and modern. I totally enjoyed the stay. Definitely recommend it if you are looking for a hotel in Macau.
