Hip Hotels in Macau
Rock out, chill out, or simply pass out in some of Macau’s fabulous new hotels
Crown Towers
The new Crown Towers offers guests a dazzling experience. The spacious guestrooms have stunning floor-to-ceiling windows so you can look out over Cotai and the City of Dreams entertainment resort.

The Crown Towers also houses one of the best spas in Macau, so treat yourself to a rejuvenating treatment. Room rates start at $2,188.

Hard Rock Hotel
Blending style and attitude, Hard Rock Hotel is Macau’s new, too-cool-for-school luxury resort which promises guests an experience fit for a rock star. The hotel’s 322 minimalist yet edgy guestrooms are fitted with rock’n’roll memorabilia and state-of-the-art entertainment systems, including high-speed internet access, video on demand and, of course, a whole range of video games. The personal in-room “MIX-ME” bartending station is another highlight. Alternatively, sit back and relax while the pros at the hotel’s restaurants and bars do the shaking and stirring. Chill out by Hard Rock’s Wave poolside bar and grill or party it up with the pretty young things at Flame Bar. Room rates start at $1,188.
