The 32 Best Hotels in Macau

A working replica of Big Ben greets you at the entrance, which tells you everything about how committed this all-suite Macau hotel is to the bit. The Victorian-era atmosphere is maximalist in the lobby, then quiets down in the suites themselves, where marble nightstands and leather armchairs take over. It holds a Forbes Five Star and a Michelin Key, and carries off its London-than-London premise with enough conviction to make the absurdity charming.

Amid Macao's slot-machine maximalism, this Forbes Five Star hotel keeps things deliberately, almost defiantly, calm. Portuguese colonial touches mix with Asian antiques sourced from the city itself, and the rooms are large enough to feel like a small apartment. The casino is next door rather than underfoot, which, depending on your evening, is either a convenience or a mercy. The spa and landscaped pool give you a plausible reason to stay in all day.

A half-scale Eiffel Tower stands outside, which is about as subtle as Macau gets.
