The 2011 Romance List
Mandarin Oriental, Macau
You wake up and throw back the cur tains, to be greeted with panoramic views of the South China Sea, and down below the city of Macau begins its day as the enter tainment capital of Asia. The Mandarin Oriental Macau reflects the ver y essence of this former Por tuguese colony and it blends stylish, chic modernity with subtle inspirations from the territory’s European heritage. Quite simply, it’s now the premier property on the Macau Peninsula and a luxurious base to explore this fascinating place.
If you could sum up the Mandarin Oriental Macau in one word, it would be ‘sexy.’ All rooms are beautifully appointed with the best of everything, the bathrooms are simply fantastic and the Panorama Suites take hotel living to new heights. With floor to ceiling windows on the highest floors, the views out across the Macau sky reveals either Nam Van Lake or Macau Bay and at the end of a day you can soak in a decadent window-side tub and watch the lights of Macau illuminate the landscape. If you feel inclined to leave the hotel, it’s only walking distance to the historical district, the major casinos and the ferry terminal to Hong Kong.
