3 Best Hotels in Macau, China

Offering a serene, casino-free escape, Mandarin Oriental's 213 spacious rooms and suites each boast walk-in closets, in-room work desks, and bathrooms with tubs perched next to floor-to-ceiling windows, offering panoramic views of Macau and Zhuhai while you soak. The spa—one of the city’s best—blends Chinese-inspired treatments with modern wellness therapies, including personalized programs bookable by the hour, while the 25-meter outdoor pool provides a refreshing retreat from the summer heat. Thoughtful amenities like a kids’ Jacuzzi, in-room gaming consoles, and adjoining room options make it a great pick for families, too.

With a more understated opulence than many of its neighbors, the Artyzen Grand Lapa weaves Portuguese charm throughout the resort. The rooms feature old-world decor, including blue-and-white artwork recalling azulejos, with views of the city or the leafy resort itself. The hotel is also widely known for deluxe treatments in the enormous spa complex next to the tropical swimming pool. The hotel’s renowned restaurants include the Café Bela Vista, beloved for its endless buffet and colonial-style decor, and the excellent Kam Lai Heen.

This old resort, built into the side of a cliff with each room boasting an ocean view, is where you can truly get away from it all. The white-and-beige color schemes are soothing, and the vast private terraces are ideal for alfresco dining and afternoon naps. Guests can access Macau’s renowned golf club, the PGA-standard, 18-hole Macau Golf and Country Club, which was built on the rocky cliffs and plateaus above the hotel. There are regular deals offering discounts for long stays, early bookings, and day passes for the outdoor swimming pool and fitness club.
