Where to stay

Sheraton Macao Hotel, Cotai Central – The newly-opened Sheraton Macao is the largest hotel in the city, located right in the center of Cotai and nestled within Macau's newest fully integrated resort, Sands Cotai Central. A five-minute drive from the international airport, the hotel features stylish and welcoming guestrooms and suites, many with views of buzzing Cotai. The Sheraton Sweet Sleeper bed is designed to improve the circulation for a great night's sleep. Family suites in Sky Tower are created with the needs of families in mind, with child-oriented features including a 42-inch flat screen TV with Nintendo Wii, board games, and child-sized furniture. The hotel currently has a special opening offer which runs until the end of the year.

How to get there:

Air Macau offers direct flights between Shanghai and Macau. Alternately, stop by Hong Kong and ride the comfortable TurboJet ferry, which departs from Shun Tak terminus on the Hong Kong side. The gambling elite might opt for Sky Shuttle's helicopter rides from Hong Kong to Macau. Some 54 flights depart daily at 30 minute intervals and each flight is only 15 minutes.
