MGM MACAU

MGM MACAU is hard to miss. If you don’t spot MGM’s trademark gold lion out front, you’ll recognize the building’s exterior. The hotel’s glass façade looks like three alternating waves of gold, platinum and rose gold — a fitting decorative touch, given its location along the South China Sea. But the hotel’s best design feature is the Grande Praça, a beautiful 82-foot, floor-to-glass-ceiling structure that echoes Portugal’s town squares. At a towering 35 stories, the luxurious hotel features 580 rooms and suites, the most lavish of which are its villas. The MGM makes for a stylish home base during a getaway to the action-packed island city.
