MGM Macau  

On Macau's outer harbor, this five-star, wave-shaped landmark rises from the Nam Van district. It's minutes from the Statue of Guan Yin, Senado Square, the Ruins of St. Paul's, and Macau Tower.

The glass-clad building mimics ocean swells and climbs roughly 154 m with about 582–585 uniquely shaped rooms. A dramatic European-style plaza sits beneath a soaring glass ceiling around a huge cylindrical aquarium and a rotating collection of global artworks. Rooms come with minibars, large flat-screen TVs, separate bathtubs and showers, rainfall showerheads and designer toiletries; select one- and two-bedroom villas include kitchenettes and private karaoke rooms.

Soak in an infinity pool with panoramic South China Sea views, unwind in a full-service spa offering customized massages, or hit the fitness center, steam room and hot tub. The property also features a lively casino floor, concierge and babysitting services, a hair salon, complimentary valet parking and a free ferry shuttle. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and city-light nights.

About 17,804 sq ft (1,654 m²) of event space with 7 meeting rooms. Limo/town-car service, express check-in/out, dry cleaning/laundry and complimentary high-speed internet (wired and wireless) keep business moving.

Multiple on-site restaurants serve everything from French fine dining to contemporary Cantonese, plus a coffee shop/café and poolside bars. 24-hour room service and daily continental breakfast are available, and the hotel houses an extensive wine cellar with thousands of bottles.
