THE Londoner Macao, Sands China Ltd.’s bold British-themed reimagining of the Sands Cotai Central integrated resort, will launch its first phase, offering the best of British history and culture alongside a traditional yet contemporary hospitality experience. Representing an investment of approximately US$2 billion, The Londoner Macao will open progressively throughout 2021. With two new all-suite hotels, guests now have choices of five leading luxury brands, eclectic dining options, enhanced retail and MICE spaces including a 6,000-seat arena, themed entertainment and attractions. As part of the first phase, Sands China Ltd. will unveil the all-suite The Londoner Hotel, the spectacular “wow” Crystal Palace atrium, new dining options and interactive London-themed attractions in the first quarter of 2021. The official ceremony will be held in early February. The Londoner Macao also represents the latest collaboration with Sands Resorts Macao global ambassador David Beckham. The international businessman and British icon played a central role in the promotion of the integrated resort leading up to its opening with his participation in the eye-catching campaign “Bringing the Best of London to Macao.” The partnership took on even greater significance when he worked with leading London interior design firm David Collins Studio to create the exclusive Suites by Beckham, Macao’s first celebrity-designed suites, and Beckham’s first global hospitality presence. Exuding classic British luxury, The Londoner Macao incorporates five world-class hotel brands with over 6,000 guestrooms: the two new all-suite hotels The Londoner Hotel and Londoner Court (opening later in 2021), alongside existing properties Conrad Macao, Sheraton Grand Macao and The St. Regis Macao. The Londoner Hotel features approximately 600 luxury suites. Its two floors incorporate 14 exclusive Suites by Beckham which will be launched later in 2021. Guests will enjoy The Londoner Hotel’s fun and playful style, typified by statues of seven quintessentially British figures, and greeters at the hotel’s lift lobbies. They include a Bobby (Victorian-era policeman), Punk, Knight, Queen’s Guard, Shakespeare, Beefeater (Tower of London guard) and Bowler-Hatted London Gentleman. This playful approach also continues into The Residence, The Londoner Hotel’s exclusive club concept.(SD News) |
