With 450 years as a Portuguese colony before being returned under China’s sovereignty, Macau is truly where East meets West. Its appeal continues to remain strong, with Macau welcoming 30.95 million visitors in 2016, a record-breaking number thus far. Looking to take in Macau’s sights, or fancying a little flutter (or ten) at the casinos soon? We’ve got you covered. Here are the best places to stay in Macau.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities.

When you book your stay here, convenience begins at the airport with the hotel’s free airport transfer. Once you get to Wynn Palace, get right to pampering and enjoy a full-body massage at the spa.
