Macau a Five-Star Destination
Renowned for its extravagant casino resort properties, the majority of Macau's upscale hotels are situated within these expansive entertainment complexes. Notably, the Paiza Lofts, an exclusive all-suite hotel with a French-themed ambiance located within The Parisian Macao casino resort operated by Sands China Ltd, has emerged as a new addition to the Forbes list of Macau's five-star hospitality establishments.
Expanding beyond the realm of hotels, Macau's allure as a luxury destination is further underscored by the presence of 61 five-star venues on Forbes’ list in 2024.

Alongside the 22 leading hotels, Macau boasts 16 five-star spas and 23 restaurants, albeit with a reduction of two from the 2023 roster.
