Our Inspector's Highlights
- One of the last hotels to go up on the original Taipa Macau strip, the Five-Star hotel is a stone’s throw from many of the major casino floors as well as city’s infamous bar area and cultural attractions with a direct connection the One Central Macau, one of the city’s top malls.
- For the ultimate respite, book some time in the hotel’s Five-Star spa. Take advantage of local specialties and try the two-hour Macanese Dragon Experience that brings together the best of Portuguese, Chinese and Western treatments for a Zen-inducing level of relaxation.
