  • Brainchild of the late designer behind Chanel and Fendi, The Karl Lagerfeld is located amid the sprawling Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau
  • The Galaxy Macau complex has added 2 more hotels, including the sister to Raffles Singapore and Raffles London at The Owo, while Sands Macao made its mark with The Londoner Macau

Keen to move beyond being seen purely as Asia’s casino capital, Macau is upping its hotel game still further. Last May saw the grand opening of The Londoner – officiated by David Beckham, no less – and since then three more top-notch stays have flung open their doors.

Read on for more on the hottest hotels in Macau ahead of the May Day Golden Week holiday.

It’s said the late Karl Lagerfeld, the ponytailed designer behind Chanel and Fendi, never visited the site of The Karl Lagerfeld, a five-star hotel located at Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau. Still the multitalented designer masterminded the whole project and had started working on the interior of the property before his death in February 2019.

His likeness is everywhere – his profile is inventively comprised of more than a thousand keys on the wall behind reception, and also adorns individual room key cards. The five-star resort features chinoiserie motifs throughout, while The Book Lounge houses 4,000 reads selected by the late designer’s bookshop Librairie 7L.
