Macau
Boutiquish hotel situated in the winding lanes opposite the Sofitel Macau at Ponte 16, which gives you use of its free shuttle buses to and from the ferry terminal. Rooms are smart and decorated with vivid palettes and wall-sized photos. Beds are excellent. But less-than-perfect bathtub design means possible issues with drainage. The standard of housekeeping is also mediocre.
A gym was being built at the time of research.
