Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Cotai Strip
Sharing a sky bridge with The Venetian but operating in an entirely different register — a genuinely hushed luxury hotel with a pool terrace of extraordinary beauty. The Four Seasons' tower suites, its three outdoor pools, and the award-winning Zi Yat Heen Cantonese restaurant attract a clientele who want Cotai's energy without sacrificing serenity.
Inner Harbour
Adjacent to the historic Ponte 16 casino in Macau's oldest waterfront neighbourhood — Portuguese tiles, cast-iron balconies, and a proximity to the Ruins of St. Paul that no Cotai hotel can match. Sofitel's heritage property is the most atmospheric stay in Macau's colonial heart.
Outer Harbour
The original Steve Wynn Macau statement property — still the benchmark for casino-hotel integration on the peninsula. The Wynn Garden Café serves the finest dim sum in any hotel in Macau; the floral lobby installations are replaced seasonally; and the pool area's cabana service matches anything the strip produces.
Cotai Strip
A half-scale Eiffel Tower illuminated above the strip — theatrical and entirely unapologetic. The Parisian's 3,000 suites take a Haussmann Paris theme to its logical extreme; the tower observation deck offers the best Cotai panorama, and the family amenities including a water park make it Macau's top choice for children.
Coloane Village
Macau's original boutique hotel — established 1976 on a hilltop above Cheoc Van Beach, surrounded by pine forests that make the city feel far away. Just 30 rooms, a terrace restaurant serving Portuguese seafood, and the kind of easy, unpretentious warmth that no amount of Cotai investment can manufacture.
Cotai Strip
All 3,000 suites of The Venetian are generously sized — the smallest suite category starts at 70 square metres — in a resort that has its own Grand Canal, shopping mall, and arena under one (very large) roof. Theatrical, maximalist, and genuinely fun, this is the hotel that defined what a Macau megahotel could be.
