Largest St. Regis hotel inaugurated in Macau
St. Regis knows how to create a buzz. Following the announcement of a new Bentley Suite at its historic New York hotel, the luxury hotel chain has grown even further with the largest property in its history inaugurated in Macau.
A hotel with the largest casino in the world
In the city's casino district (Cotai Strip), this 400-room property is the chain's seventh to open in China and its Special Administrative Regions.
It offers the largest casino in the world. No wonder when you know that Macau has dethroned Las Vegas in terms of gambling for several years.
The size of the rooms varies from 53 to 477m², and when it comes to dining, the client is spoiled for choice with upscale contemporary cuisine as well as a more relaxed bistro. It is also the first time that a Macau hotel has offered 24-hour personalized butler service to all of its guests.
When hotel rhymes with cocktail
The history of the St. Regis chain is closely linked to that of cocktails. It was in the historic New York address that Americans were introduced to Bloody Mary in the early 1900s. The Macao hotel bar thus gives pride of place to traditional cocktails, but also offers flavorful creations. local. For example, the Maria do Leste is a Bloody Mary with an Asian twist with pink peppercorns, cinnamon and pili-pili pepper.
Guests of the premises also have access to an Iridium Spa with panoramic views of the Strip from its 38th floor, its outdoor swimming pool and its 2460m² of terrace and private cabanas.
Rise and fall in Macau
The opening follows in the footsteps of Studio City, a $ 3,2 billion casino and entertainment complex that opened with the help of Hollywood stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Robert De Niro last October.
Like Las Vegas, Macau has diversified and aims to provide a total entertainment experience, to go beyond gambling and attract audiences of all ages.
The drop in casino revenues following Chinese anti-corruption laws as well as the slowdown in the country's economy are encouraging hoteliers to rethink their location. The delays accumulated by Macau's prestigious Wynn Palace Cotai, which was due to open in March, may not have been unrelated to these developments. This $ 4,1 billion project (1700 rooms over 28 floors) should however be inaugurated in June 2016… not far from the St. Regis!
