HOTEL IDEAS
Blinged-out and bodacious—welcome to Macau! Asia’s “Las Vegas”, it’s all about glitz and glamour with casinos and malls sprawled across the Cotai Strip. Not to be left behind in the big, bold and brassy race are the palatial hotels in Macau. With each more bedazzling than the next, here is a rundown of the flashiest hotels to stay in Macau.
An oasis of elegance on the glitzy Cotai Strip, St. Regis Macao lives up to its reputation of luxury and splendour. The hotel serves well for family vacations as well as romantic retreats, with 400 rooms and suites, each opening up to splendid views. The highlight of the stay, however, is the hotel’s hallmark St. Regis Butler Service which will cater to all your whims. Food remains at the forefront, with The Manor presenting the ultimate epicurean adventure. You’ll be spoilt for choice with its five sections, namely, the Dining Room with exotic seafood on the menu, the Wine Gallery with a selection of over 2,000 vintages, the Verandah, reminiscent of a European indoor garden, and the Penthouse Kitchen and the Library, where multicourse meals are prepared by gourmet chefs. Stretch out in your private cabana and sip on a cocktail by the two outdoor heated swimming pools on the eighth floor, or get your adrenaline pumping at the Athletic Club. Tucked away on the topmost floor of the hotel is the Iridium Spa where you can be preened and pampered after you work up a sweat!

A perfect choice for a group of friends looking to party hard, this 5-star all-suite hotel offers plenty of fun and flair. The amply spacious suites come with a living room and a dining room, and even a private Jacuzzi! There’s good news for foodies too— McDonald’s and KFC have outlets on the hotel premises as does Starbucks. If you are in the mood for wholesome gourmet food, head to any of the eight fine-dining restaurants. We especially recommend the 888 Buffet, which has a delightful layout of Chinese, Japanese, Thai, traditional Macanese and Portuguese fare. The Xanadu Lounge and Sands Theatre host spectacular live shows in the evenings, followed by a full night of partying. Be warned, revelries here go on well into the wee hours of the morning. Relax and unwind with a massage at the hotel’s Paiza Spa & Salon, or take a refreshing dip in the outdoor heated swimming pool on the sixth floor. There is never a dull moment at Sands Hotel Macau!

Guests can chill out by any of the five outdoor swimming pools, including a lagoon pool and two children’s pools, or spend a day at the spa. Embark upon a grand gastronomic journey at the Michelin-starred Zi Yat Heen, the innovative Belcanção, and Splash where flavours of the world come together. For some indulgent retail therapy, the Shoppes at Four Seasons houses 150 luxury retailers from across the globe.
