Vibrant lifestyle hotel Andaz Macau officially opens

Andaz Macau is an architectural masterpiece that seamlessly blends the city's rich heritage with contemporary design elements. Drawing inspiration from Macau's UNESCO-protected East-West architecture, interior architects EDG Design and art consultancy firm VISTO have meticulously incorporated elements from Portuguese buildings, maritime ships, traditional Chinese culture, and the modern international lifestyle of Macau. As you explore the hotel, you'll be immersed in thoughtful designs and curated art pieces that narrate Macau's past and present. From the stunning ‘Macau Steps’, a multi-sensory staircase showcasing over 100 videos that narrate the stories of Macau’s past and present, to elegant sculptures made with hand-painted Portuguese tile patterns and mannequins dressed in embroidered couture gowns with classic cheongsam collars, every corner tells the story of Macau's fascinating history.

At Andaz Macau, every guest is immersed in the local experience right from the start. The hotel provides services tailored for both business and leisure travellers to ensure a unique stay for each guest. With over 700 meticulously designed rooms and suites across two towers, the hotel offers a seamless blend of modern and Macau's cultural heritage, featuring imaginative interiors, bold pops of colours, neighbourhood-inspired artwork, and amenities that introduce guests to Macau in unexpected ways. Each guestroom also features thoughtfully selected amenities and locally sourced foods in the minibar. For MICE guests, easy access to GICC meeting and conference venues is just an elevator ride away. The hotel also caters to every need with a state-of-the-art fitness centre, and a tranquil swimming pool where guests can unwind and appreciate the beauty of Macau. 

With the theme ‘Discover the Real Macau through Gastronomy’, Andaz Kitchen celebrates the authentic flavours of Macau with an array of food and drink offerings that immerse travellers in the city's rich culinary heritage. Located on the sixth floor, this vibrant all-day dining destination is inspired by Macau's old shophouses, where each room reflects the cuisine on offer. The restaurant also pays homage to Macau’s maritime history with wooden archways, while Portuguese mosaic tiles (azulejos) call on the city’s European heritage. 

Executive chef André Lai, rooted in Portuguese and Chinese cuisines, showcases his passion for forging connections through gastronomy with unique dishes that capture the soul of Macau. For a refreshing starter, try the Tuna ceviche with soft-boiled egg, avocado, and pata negra. This dish elevates the sweetness of tuna slices, and the addition of avocado and a soft-boiled egg contributes to its creamy texture. Other must-try dishes include the Portuguese seafood rice with clams, mussels, prawns, and Boston lobster – a classic Portuguese recipe with a luxurious twist; as well as ‘Camarão ao Alhinho’, a dish that nods to Portugal's fishing traditions by presenting sautéed prawns with chilli and garlic in a copper ‘cataplana’, a traditional cookware used by fishermen.

Led by the talented mixologist Shobit Shetty, Andaz Bar takes guests on a sensory journey through creative cocktails inspired by the multicultural aspect of Macau. With experience gained from working in one of ‘Asia's 50 Best Bars’, Shetty brings his expertise to craft innovative libations that tell stories of Macau's vibrant tapestry. Step into Andaz Bar and indulge in cocktails like the Ou-Mun'gfaly', as well as delectable bites such as beef tartare, sea urchin, batata brava & crispy chicken skin, king crab meat and avocado. It’s the perfect place to grab a pre or post-meal tipple.
