How Extravagant Is a Hotel Room Over 25,000 MOP per Night in Macau? Over 250 sqm, with Hermès Toiletries
Yesterday, Yu Fan published an article online sharing the value-for-money travel in Macau today, discussing the current state of Macau's hotel industry. Due to the special circumstances, although Macau's tourism has shown a strong recovery, many hotels are operating at less than 40% of their usual capacity, and room rates have been hit even harder than a 50% drop. Many hotels are offering rooms for as little as over 100 MOP per night, and even some five-star hotels are priced at just over 200 MOP. These prices are ridiculously low—impossible even in mainland China, but they are a reality in land-scarce Macau. It can be said that traveling to Macau now offers the best value in recent years, because accommodations are incredibly cheap. Moreover, aside from hotel costs, many attractions are free to enter, so overall spending is lower than in mainland China. It's truly a great experience with beautiful scenery, fewer crowds, and plenty of fun.
After that article was posted, it sparked lively discussions among netizens on many platforms. Many expressed a desire to visit Macau, while others asked about travel precautions and safety. Let me give a unified answer here: First, Macau is very safe. Like the mainland, it has had no new cases for over 200 days, and everyone in Macau has developed the habit of wearing masks—something that is even better than many cities in mainland China. International flights have also been suspended, eliminating imported infections at the source. It's truly safe. Second, coming to Macau is quite simple. Compared to before, the only extra requirement is a nucleic acid test. It's very convenient to get tested in mainland China, and the cost is low. I took a test in Dongguan, Guangdong, for just 76 RMB, and got the result the next day, which was automatically synced to my Yuekang Code (if you're outside Guangdong, it's best to print a paper test report for reference). Crossing the border is even smoother than before because there are no long queues; self-service clearance takes less than a minute. So it's really not a hassle.
Besides asking about how to come to Macau and whether it's safe, friends also asked what the good hotels in Macau are like. My reply is that the hotel we are currently staying in is already excellent. We are staying at the Lakeside Peli Suite in the Wynn Palace, with a current rate of 2,498 MOP (plus 375 MOP in taxes and fees). The room is a spacious 180 square meters, with a large living room, bedroom, and bathroom, plus a dedicated SPA room and a well-stocked minibar. Every morning, you can arrange for breakfast to be delivered to your room. Staying here is truly comfortable.
In addition to the Wynn Palace where we are staying, today we also visited a friend staying at the Grand Lisboa. I thought our room was already great—during peak season in previous years, a room like ours would cost 7,000 to 8,000 MOP per night. But after seeing our friend's room, I was stunned. The daily rate is over 20,000 MOP, which is simply extravagant. It just goes to show that money really does make life better.
Our friend's room is called the Presidential Suite, with an area of over 250 square meters. Yes, over 250 square meters—that's not just a hotel room; it's the size of a luxury flat with at least four bedrooms and two living rooms in a residential building. Yet at the Grand Lisboa, it's a suite with only one bed. But upon entering, you find it fully equipped: a massive living room, a separate KTV room, a private massage room, a dry sauna, and a private sky garden. A large bathtub goes without saying. I took a bunch of photos and would like to share them with everyone. Let's take a look.
This is the other side of the bedroom, in front of the bed—a spacious lounge and work area. The large TV on the wall can be adjusted to any angle, so you can watch it from the sofa or while lying in bed.
This is still the bedroom, taken from the window side. On one side is the bed, on the other is the work area. The overall decoration is dominated by blue tones, giving a low-key luxurious feel. Stepping in, you immediately feel at home.
The private massage room. The hotel offers in-room massage services, so you can enjoy the finest massage and spa treatments without leaving your room. Truly, money makes life good.
This is a corner of the bathroom. On the left is a spacious shower, and on the right is a scenic large bathtub. You can lie inside, soak while enjoying the view outside, and perhaps pour a glass of red wine, listen to soothing music, and sip wine from the minibar. The comfort is indescribable.
Opposite the large bathtub is a separate dry sauna. Sweating it out before a bath is also very pleasant. Outside the dry sauna are two separate, spacious vanity areas. If two people are staying, they can freshen up at the same time without disturbing each other or waiting in line—a very thoughtful design.
If you think the size alone justifies the 20,000+ MOP per night, you'd be wrong. Staying in such a room signifies status. So the linens, mattress, hairdryer, hardware, and other facilities are all top international quality. For example, the toiletries shown in the photo (shampoo, body wash, conditioner, soap, etc.) are all from the world-renowned luxury brand Hermès. These items, which are considered high-end in the eyes of most people, are merely trivial amenities in this room.
This is what a 20,000+ MOP per night hotel room in Macau looks like—truly luxurious, not only in size and service but also in complete facilities and the feeling of staying there. It's a symbol of status. Friends, keep striving! If you have the chance, come to Macau and experience it. If you think it's expensive, that means we still have room to improve, but don't be discouraged. Aim to one day stay in a room like this. Keep going!
