What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Its 324 rooms and suites are classically handsome, with bedrooms clad in rich hardwood and bathrooms in figured marble; floor-to-ceiling windows draw the eye to the panorama outside.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Lovers' Road runs right outside along the water, and the border crossing at Gongbei Port is minutes away.
The rooms
Bedrooms come with rich hardwood floors and bridge views. In the marble bathrooms, soaking tubs sit beside the glass.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor infinity pool sits on a timber deck, looking across open water toward Macau and the distant bridge.
The gym and sauna
Treadmills and weight machines stand along floor-to-ceiling windows, and each changing room has its own sauna.
Restaurant
CHAR Bar & Grill
Chefs prepare prime steaks at the open kitchen counter, and the bar mixes cocktails beside curved banquettes.
At the table

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
