Hotels With Bar in Macau, China

I've stayed at The Venetian four times over the past decade, but after this last visit, I honestly don't think I'll go back. The suites are large, but definitely showing their age. I constantly felt like I was walking on dusty carpets. Service was practically non-existent, except for a handsome guy who helped with luggage at the car park entrance – big shout out to him for the help! After that, it was pretty much self-service. I get it, the hotel is huge and there are tons of people, so it's probably standard operating procedure. What really bothered me was that the Grand Canal Shoppes on the third floor have become a tourist attraction, so it's incredibly crowded, even in the lobby, and just super noisy. This time, I took some time to check out other hotels, and their environments were so much more pleasant. Even their casinos didn't have that smoky, grimy feel that The Venetian's does. If you like a lively atmosphere or haven't experienced a split-level suite before, it might be worth trying once, but it's not worth a second visit.

This was my first time bringing the kids to Macau for Chinese New Year. The hotel's location is super convenient, with a taxi stand and bus stop right outside. The room was spacious and very comfortable. There's also a Cafe de Coral restaurant downstairs, which was handy for meals. The welcoming service was excellent too! Oh, and the kids even received a New Year red packet in the room, with a gold coin chocolate inside – they were thrilled!

The hotel is very close to the Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal, about a 30 RMB taxi ride or just three bus stops away. The front desk staff were incredibly welcoming, and their Mandarin was excellent, making communication a breeze. Although the room wasn't huge, it was spotlessly clean and well-maintained, with good soundproofing. Breakfast is served on the third floor, offering both Chinese and Western options. You can even scan a QR code to order freshly cooked eggs and noodles delivered right to your table. The hotel's location is fantastic. Downstairs, you'll find a wide variety of eateries, including snack shops, local tea restaurants, Portuguese cuisine, and even a McDonald's. There are also several supermarkets nearby. It's just a 10-minute walk to Wynn Macau. From there, you can take a shuttle bus to Wynn Palace in Cotai, which then gives you easy access to The Venetian, The Londoner, The Parisian, and Studio City. It's incredibly convenient!

The location is great! It's only a 3-minute walk to Wynn to see the Tree of Prosperity, and the shuttle bus right outside the hotel can take you to other hotels you want to visit. Grand Lisboa is an 8-minute walk away, where you can see the big diamond show. The Ruins of St. Paul's are also not far; we walked there too. For Macau, this hotel offers excellent value for money.

Studio City, one of Macau's luxury hotels, boasts three hotel towers: Celebrity Tower (where we booked a classic room, catering to most general guests), Star Tower, and Mansion at Studio City. Our stay was fantastic! The front desk upgraded us to a scenic room, offering stunning views of The Parisian Macao and its Eiffel Tower. We enjoyed the nighttime light show right from our window – it was truly beautiful. The hotel itself has an abundance of entertainment options; you can pretty much find everything you need for dining, drinking, and entertainment all within the building. There's a food court with very affordable prices, featuring places like Hua Ren Bing Shi (Chinese Ice Room) and numerous food stalls offering a variety of cuisines such as Hunan dishes, Hunan rice noodles, and Cantonese food – a truly dazzling array. The building also houses Macau's only Dolby Atmos cinema. I checked the ticket prices, and they're comparable to mainland China. The iconic Golden Reel Ferris wheel and the Water Park are definitely worth experiencing.

Everything was pretty good, including the cleanliness and environment. The only thing I found a bit hard to understand was the deposit situation; they don't accept electronic payments. I really think they should clearly state the deposit amount and payment methods (cash or credit card) prominently on the homepage. I didn't notice this when booking and ended up not having enough cash on hand.

Had a really great experience at Grand Lisboa Palace. The front desk staff were warm and professional, making the check-in process efficient and thoughtful. A heads-up though: while official check-in is after 3 PM, if there's a vacant room, you can check in earlier. I booked a 'Round View' room, which was spacious and elegant. The floor-to-ceiling windows offered a direct view of the Green Oasis Garden, perfect for European-style photos. The hotel has its own duty-free shop, and there are many shopping malls nearby, making shopping super convenient. Overall, the service and experience were excellent.

Even with Macau's generally high hotel standards and my high expectations, The Londoner Macao's Bond Suite still exceeded them. The room was brand new, and the overall quality felt top-tier. What particularly stood out was the breakfast. You can enjoy it as late as 1 PM (simply keep your room card after 11 AM check-out or provide your room number to use the benefit – I recommend arriving about 30 minutes early to avoid queues and ensure you get a table). It's served à la carte at the Food Garden, with plenty of delicious options, and the portions are huge. Our two breakfasts were easily enough for a substantial lunch for two adults and one child. The swimming pool service was also excellent; they proactively offered snacks and water, and provided a life jacket for the little one.

I had a truly fantastic stay! I usually stay in Taipa, but this time I chose Harbourview Hotel since I was visiting the Grand Prix Museum the next day, and I was pleasantly surprised. Huge thanks to the hotel for upgrading me to a suite – the room was incredibly spacious, and most importantly, it was spotless and well-maintained. I'll definitely book here again on my next trip to Macau. It's super convenient; you can take the Sands shuttle and just cross the road, or use public transport as there's a bus stop right opposite the hotel. There are water dispensers in the hallway, though only cold water, which was perfectly fine.

I spent two days in Macau and chose to stay at the Holiday Inn, initially just for the convenient location. To my surprise, I'm now a huge fan! From check-in to check-out, every detail made me feel 'at home.' I definitely recommend this hotel to anyone planning a trip to Macau. The hotel is right in the heart of Senado Square, just a 5-minute walk to the Ruins of St. Paul's and 10 minutes to Senado Square itself. Downstairs, you'll find a bus stop and taxi stand, making it super easy to get to the airport or Taipa (about a 15-minute taxi ride). The biggest surprise was discovering so many old-school eateries nearby – Dai Lai Kei Pork Chop Bun, Yee Shun Milk Company, Chan Kong Kei Roasted Meats… You can easily grab a late-night snack just by strolling around, no need to rush.
