Macau’s Hidden Gem: MGM Cotai – Pose Like Fan Bingbing at Her Photo Spot

Stepping into MGM Cotai is like opening an exquisite jewelry box. With over 300 art treasures—from antique Qing Dynasty carpets to paintings and sculptures by renowned contemporary artists—the refined artworks even drew Fan Bingbing to visit and snap a photo~

You'll also be amazed by the sheer variety and breadth of its restaurants, from Californian to Japanese-Peruvian fusion. You’ll feel like even three full days in the hotel wouldn’t be enough to try everything!

The hotel's giant atrium is a must-photograph spot. Its saddle-shaped, column-free architectural structure and the all-glass skylight spanning the size of a standard football pitch have earned a Guinness World Record for the largest free-span gridshell glass roof (self-supporting), as well as the nickname "the most beautiful jewelry box".

MGM Cotai's investment in art and entertainment is truly astounding. The public spaces alone feature over 300 top-tier art treasures, including Qing Dynasty carpets and paintings and sculptures by prominent modern and contemporary artists.

Spend an afternoon exploring at leisure, and you'll discover that every artwork has a story behind it. Oh, and you can also book an art tour at the front desk, available in three languages, for an art-filled afternoon.

At MGM Cotai's Pastry Bar, we happened upon a popular all-you-can-enjoy dessert afternoon tea event. With the Christmas holidays, the desserts had taken on a festive holiday theme.

Every day from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., in this space decked out with winter candy house decorations and bursting with Christmas cheer, you can pick your favorite holiday-themed sweets from a dessert trolley laden with beautiful treats.

Sip a coffee quietly, take a bite of cake—in that moment, all is well.

Every day at 1 p.m., 3 p.m., 5 p.m., and 7 p.m., the spectacular Sky Ocean Show presents a 10-minute visual feast brought by flying dolphins symbolizing love and dreams. These dolphin-shaped helium balloons, accompanied by remote-controlled flying fish against surrounding LED screens, make you feel as though you’re immersed in the vast ocean~

It’s truly a must-visit spot for ladies checking out Macau!

Beyond the artworks, MGM Cotai’s restaurants are also not to be missed. On this trip, we dined at the following: Shudao, Grill 58, Coast, and Bugaolang—each with its own distinctive flair.

Even the desserts are full of variety; just reading the names gives a sense of refinement and deliciousness. Grill 58, renowned for its premium steaks and teppanyaki, is not to be missed.

The beautiful ambiance at Shudao is worth spending 10 minutes to photograph before dining.

The pan-fried tofu with chicken filling is tasty and unique, and the authentic Sichuan dan dan noodles and ice jelly with glutinous rice cake will satisfy any Sichuan food lover’s cravings.

At Bugaolang Bar, helmed by a world champion mixologist, you can try unique cocktails you won’t find elsewhere. A glass of 'Goldfish Hutong' will send you into a peaceful night’s sleep~

Macau has plenty of fun places, but few hotels offer such an all-encompassing immersive experience. MGM Cotai is one of them. Ladies who love to enjoy hotel life can go for it without hesitation~
