The Mood - St Regis Macau is an intimate escapade raised right next to the colossal Sands integrated resort complex. Being a little off the action is also its principal advantage in the tiny packed territory - minutes from the thick of action yet worlds apart is how one might describe it, unhurried is another adjective that seems apt, a word one wouldn’t use liberally to describe the other hotels around Macau’s Cotai strip. The luxurious accents of this St Regis installation are refined and resplendent, so much so that one wouldn’t even guess there are 400 rooms and suites within the block. The Metropolitan Suite is a lovely space to inhabit over a stay, with ample views of the European replications all around (look out for the hourly chime from the lifesize Big Ben visible from the suite), and signature St Regis delights like butler service, chocolate teddies and plush marble clad bathrooms, all add to the charms of this property.
The Gourmet Index - The hotel’s sole restaurant, The Manor, puts an emphasis on the finest, sustainably sourced ingredients from around the world and assembles them with European culinary inspirations and finesse for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The St. Regis Bar brings the renowned New York heritage that's synonymous with the St. Regis brand together with artisan cocktails and beverages. The Macao version of the Bloody Mary, aptly named Maria do Leste, is just the tipple to get into the mood with the bar’s daily live musical performances.
The Service - Another butler-service outfit in Macau, the service orientation here extends beyond coffee, teas and wake-up calls. Try the butlers out with any request, like squeezing a lifetime worth of baggage into a standard-issue cabin trolley, and watch them work their magic with frightening precision.
Spa & Wellness - The St. Regis Spa Macau is officially described as ‘a sensorial escape honoring the art of decadence… a modern jewel box designed for indulgence and defined by joie de vivre’, and after a visit we can vouch that the reality wasn’t far off. The treatment rooms are designed to be lush and comforting with vibrant hues and fabulous equipment, and the treatments here range from bespoke body massages and revitalizing facials to energizing body scrubs and nourishing wraps. All would be naught if the therapist is rubbish and we are happy to report that the massage sampled was quite simply heavenly. Studied, measured strokes were applied with a liberal dosage of fabulous oils, and that roughly translates to a blissful moment flat out within this pampering enclave in Macau.
