It can be overwhelming to narrow down which hotel you want to visit, but worry not—here are some of the most luxurious hotels in Macau to check into on a trip to the ‘Las Vegas of the East’.
Owned by the world-renowned hotel group, The Ritz Carlton Macau goes beyond its offerings as a hotel and fully encompasses everything needed for a luxury retreat in the heart of the city.

An urban sanctuary in Macau, Banyan Tree Macau is listed as one of Forbes’ Triple Five Star luxury hotels, so one can expect an elevated experience from start-to-finish. The prestigious hotel is the only resort in Macau with a relaxation pool in every suite and a jet pool in every villa—an enticing aspect in itself. The stunning hotel is frequented by gourmands, wellness seekers, families, and couples, looking to escape the downtown hustle. Sit back, relax, and make the most of the experience by testing out different facilities at the hotel, including the Grand Resort Deck, also known as the world's largest Skytop Wave Pool and the world's longest Skytop Aquatic Adventure River Ride at 575 meters. Sounds impressive? We think so.
