The all-suite hotel is a fun and slightly over-the-top celebration of all things British, from its recreation of the Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament to the Union flag-painted London cabs greeting guests as they arrive in Macau. And not to mention the “Top of the Pops” hits blaring everywhere – think Elton John, Robbie Williams, The Beatles and the Spice Girls.

Footballer David Beckham, Sands’ global ambassador, is behind the design of the David Beckham Suites, located on the top two floors of the property. Dubbed “the first celebrity-designed suites in Macau”, they’re decorated with portraits of Beckham and pieces inspired by his legendary football career.

Fans of the athlete can also enjoy his favourite dishes, cigars, whiskeys and cocktails at some of the hotel’s eateries.

Among the hotel’s restaurants is Churchill’s Table, a casual and buzzy spot inspired by Winston Churchill, the late UK prime minister. It fills up fast though, especially its very popular classic afternoon tea, which provides plenty of photo ops thanks to its lavish and visually striking dishes.

Little touches such as a shoeshine service, British-themed gift shops and a number of sculptures peppered throughout the hotel – they include a bobby (Victorian-era policeman), a queen’s guard, Shakespeare, a beefeater and a bowler-hatted London gentleman – are constant reminders of Great Britain.
