In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Rooms at Wynn Palace are finished in art and high-quality materials, and the bath products are Asprey of London. Book a suite and you get 24-hour butler service. Wynn trains its staff hard, and reviewers keep coming back to how attentive they are — "they remembered our names even two days in" is a comment that shows up again and again.
Food and amenities
The restaurants here are recommended in the Michelin Guide, including Wing Lei Palace, a Cantonese spot with one Michelin star. The casino feels more luxurious and more open than most others in the city. But the real draw is the look of the place: the lobby is huge and filled with thousands of flowers that get changed every 6-8 weeks, so the floral art shifts with the season. The free cable car across the lake is the other thing every guest ends up doing — "riding the cable car over the lake in the evening, the Cotai Strip at night looks amazing" is a line that repeats across reviews.
Location and getting there
It's on the Cotai Strip, right next to MGM Cotai, with a free shuttle out to the ferry pier and the airport. The trade-off is distance from the old town — you're a 15-20 minute drive from the historic centre, so this isn't the base for wandering the heritage streets on foot.
Things to know before booking
This is the most expensive hotel on our list, from around $280 a night and climbing past $1,200 for the top suites. And it sits out on the Cotai Strip among the casino resorts, a 15-20 minute ride from old Macau, so if being in the historic core matters to you, look elsewhere.
Our take
Wynn Palace opened in 2016 and was quickly recognized as one of the most beautiful hotels not just in Macau but across Asia. It suits couples who want the best-looking hotel in town, anyone who loves floral art and design, and travelers after Forbes 5-Star service. It's the priciest pick here, but the experience earns it.

The Honest Verdict — pros & what to know
- The most beautifully designed and decorated hotel in Macau — hard to overstate how good the lobby looks.
- Floral art that gets redone every season, with thousands of flowers swapped every 6-8 weeks so it never looks the same twice.
- A free cable car carries guests across the hotel's lake, and the view is genuinely stunning, especially at night.
- The outdoor pool sits in the middle of the lake — an atmosphere you won't find anywhere else in the city.
- Forbes 5-Star service, the highest tier, with staff trained to Wynn's global standard.
- From around $280 a night, the most expensive hotel on this list.
- It's well away from the old Macau centre, so you're looking at a 15-20 minute vehicle ride to get there.
- It sits on the Cotai Strip alongside the casino resorts, so it's not the spot if you want to be in the historic core.
