ASCOTT MACAU: PRIVACY IN THE MECCA OF CASINO RESORTS
The flashing neon lights that hovers around the city was apparent. Even from a distance and as we disembark from the plane, the changing neon lights of the casino hotels of Macau Peninsula and the Cotai Strip is truly one for the books.
But
in this mecca of gambling, glitz and luxury, there stood one unique
establishment. Contrary to the sounds
and footsteps heard of on the lobbies of the usual casino resort hotel, the Ascott Macau offers a different
perspective of Macau. The traffic within
the confines of the hotel is limited and the ambiance is relaxing with a homey
vibe, more so, that the non-gaming hotel is specially-designed as a home away from home hotel.
LOCATION
No. 339 R. Cidade de Braga, Nape, Macau
(853) 2822 0688
The
Ascott Macau is strategically located right at the center of the bustling
business district and is a 5-minute drive from the Macau Ferry Terminal, 8 minutes
from China’s Border Gate, 10 minutes from Taipa Ferry Terminal and Macau
International Airport.
It
is truly your home in the business district of Macau. It is also easy to locate
as the hotel plays host to some of the city’s best restaurants, including Shun
Hin Seafood Restaurant, The Mix Western Restaurant and the Win Japanese cuisine. Should you wish to unwind and be intoxicated,
chilled cocktails at available at the Heart Bar, considered as the hotel’s
Lobby Lounge. All the F&B outlets are separately operated.
ROOMS
There
are four (4) room types to choose from in Ascott Macau. These are:
Deluxe Room (Twin/King), Noble Suite, Executive Suite and
Premier Suite. We were booked on a
Executive Suite. Click for rates on each room type.
All
these rooms are tastefully decorated with an accent of Portuguese influence
that is reminiscent of the city’s rich culture and historical links with
Europe. The integrated open kitchenette
is my favorite corner of our suite. In
fact, I want my own space to be the same.
The built-in cabinets were likewise economical with a washing machine
efficiently kept. Space was definitely
maximized without the feeling of being crowded.
There
are 110 elegantly and stylishly furnished guestrooms and suites and each has
its own story and character to tell.
Noticeable as well are the decors on each floor which showcases the
varied tourist attractions and landmarks of Macau. Each floor can actually serve as a guide if
one has no itinerary while in Macau.
Our
Executive Suite is designed for international travelers who desire the security
of a private living space. The 55-sqm suite
features a master bedroom, living and dining areas and a bathroom with a
bathtub. And because we need to work as well
even on weekends, the suite can be converted into a working area with one
corner offering a work space with fast and reliable WiFi access.
AMENITIES
The
hotel basically offers all that a tourist or even a local businessman may want
for trip, either business or leisure.
Ascott Macau is ideal for business travelers to hold meetings and
private dinners with entertainment facilities on their multi-function room, VIP
room, meeting rooms and a business center.
For
relaxation and fitness, the property is equipped with a gym, heated
indoor swimming pool as well as an outdoor pool and a rejuvenating sauna room.
SERVICE
Just
by sitting at the lobby, you would know how efficient and fast hospitality
service is in this hotel. Ascott Macau
can relatively monitor all their guests, thus, security is not an issue. From the receptionists to the bus boy of the
hotel, all provides a cheerful smile making you welcome at the hotel.
If
given the chance to go back to Macau, I would definitely love to be back at
this apartment hotel and may even bring with me my family and
friends as the vicinity provides the comfort and privacy that guests like me
would at times long for.
