Macau One-Day Free Tour (3): The Londoner

Across from The Parisian, separated by the Cotai Strip, is The Londoner Macao, which reopened on May 25, 2023, after a comprehensive two-year renovation and upgrade. Since 2021, Sands China has undertaken a series of large-scale renovations and upgrades to the complex formerly known as Sands Cotai Central, transforming it into The Londoner Macao, a collection of five hotels including Sheraton, Conrad, The Londoner, St. Regis, and The Londoner Court (from south to north). It offers nearly 6,000 guest rooms and suites, 3 spas, 4 fitness centers, over 20 dining options, 150 shops of world-renowned brands, and The Londoner Theatre that can accommodate 6,000 spectators. The entire renovation and upgrade project cost nearly 2 billion US dollars (about 16 billion Macau patacas). The glass porch at the hotel entrance is modeled after London's Victoria Station, adorned with cobblestone walkways, exuding classic British charm; The Crystal Palace is primarily constructed of glass and iron, with marble paving, creating a complex 10-story high ceiling that highlights Victorian architectural style; The Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben) is built to the original size of the iconic London building, with the bell tower chiming on the hour and quarter-hour; The exterior design blueprint and architectural details of The Londoner Macao Hotel are derived from the Palace of Westminster and the Houses of Parliament, and different themed Londoner light shows are staged at nightfall. In addition, the fantasy double-decker bus, classic red telephone booths, London exploration taxis, statues of British celebrities, and the meticulously replicated Diamond Jubilee Royal Carriage built for the late Queen Elizabeth, all unmistakably showcase the British flair of the hotel. The David Beckham Suite is Macau's first celebrity-designed suite, co-designed by David Beckham and British interior design firm David Collins Studio, with only 14 suites available. Located on the top two floors of The Londoner Macao Hotel, the suites range from 113 to 298 square meters and are exclusively for invited VIPs. The Londoner Court Suites, ranging from one to four bedrooms, are elegantly chic, created by Hong Kong's Steve Leung Design Group, evoking the atmosphere of a modern London luxury residence, with guests also enjoying the 'Court Butler' round-the-clock butler service.
