Most travelers choose to stay in pretty ritzy resorts when they visit Macau. In the Chinese and Portuguese-influenced territory, many resorts double as casinos, attracting big rollers from around the world. Macau is a great place to get a taste of the luxe life, but it\u2019s easy to get lost in the crowd when you stay in a huge hotel. Legend Palace Hotel provides all the pizazz of the larger luxury resorts in Macau \u2013 but on a smaller, more intimate scale. When it comes to hotels, bigger isn\u2019t always better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legend Palace Hotel Review<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you arrive at Legend Palace hotel, you may feel like you\u2019ve dropped straight into a pretty pastel fairy tale land. The plush property, just a five-minute walk from Fisherman\u2019s Wharf, is inspired by breezy French Monaco. The marble columned lobby, stained glass ceiling and crystal chandelier make quite the impression, but the rooms are just as beautiful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location: 9\/10<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although the entire territory is named Macau, the northern region is also called Macau \u2013 and it\u2019s connected to the regions of Taipa, Cotai and Coloane by two bridges over the Zhujiang River Estuary, Ponte de Sai Van and Ponte de Amizade. Legend Palace Hotel sits on the Eastern coast of Macau, smack dab in the middle of the northern portion of the territory. The hotel is just a 10-minute walk from the Macau Ferry Terminal, which is convenient for ferry travelers from Hong Kong, and it is just five minutes from a collection of restaurants, shops and other curious sites of Macau Fisherman\u2019s Wharf<\/a>. (The most curious site is probably the modern replica of the Roman Colosseum.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have all day to walk around, and the weather\u2019s not sweltering, you can walk to the 17th<\/sup>-century Monte Fort, Walls of Macau and the Ruins of St. Paul\u2019s in just over half an hour. The streets around this area are lovely, and you can wander south to the Teatro Dom Pedro V and the famous Margaret’s Caf\u00e9 e Nata<\/a> for well-deserved egg tarts. Other options include navigating the bus system \u2013 or just taking a taxi. Either way, Legend Palace Hotel has a pretty sweet location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Service & Facilities: 9\/10<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t fault the service of the attentive Legend Palace Hotel staff\nbecause I felt welcome from check-in to check-out. While I stayed in the pool\ncabana, the sun shifted; and one staff member even offered to move my lounger\nout of the sunny spot to prevent me from getting sunburnt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Legend Palace Hotel is quite small, it has all the facilities that you would expect at a resort. The hotel has a fitness centre and a spa called \u2018Senses Health Club\u2019. Its year-round outdoor pool plays music underwater and is bordered one side by lovely little cabanas. (When I stayed, using the cabanas or a bottle of water didn\u2019t even cost extra.) There\u2019s also a jacuzzi on the pool deck. I only shared the space with a few other guests, but I can imagine that the area could easily feel crowded. To round off the facilities, Legend Palace Hotel has a conference room, business centre \u2013 and a ballroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve\nmade it Macau and opened the door to your sophisticated room in Legend Palace\nHotel, it\u2019s understandable if you feel like cancelling all of your Macau trip\nplans and opting for a foreign stay-cation, instead. The resort hotel\u2019s 223 rooms and suites\nare immaculate. The Chairman Suite and the Royal Suite are the most grand, but\nfamilies would be more than happy in the Two Bedroom Executive Suite with\nprivate garden. The patio has a picnic table and umbrella, as well as two\nreally cool loungers with a collapsible half-cover. Indoors, there is a small kitchen,\ndining table and bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I stayed in\nan Executive Room at this five-star hotel in Macau, which at many other hotels,\nwould be considered a suite \u2013 since it has a distinct living area and sleeping\narea, which can be closed off with mirrored sliding doors. Its 62 square metres\nare beautifully decorated. Gold accents gleam on the highly polished mahogany\nand cherry wood furniture, the deep colours balancing the light lavender and\ncornflower panels on the wall. Even the air vent is decorative \u2013 a white\ncurlicued piece of artwork.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"bed

There are almost too many places to sit in Legend Palace Hotel’s Executive Room. Once you clear the foyer with the golden room control panel, you can sit in a chair at a small round table, which could act as a desk \u2013 except there\u2019s actually a chair and desk just to the left of the massive flat screen TV in the other corner of the room. The small sofa, flanked by two side tables, behind a large coffee table takes up most of the room, but there\u2019s still space for an additional armchair.  In the bedroom, a stool sits at the vanity and an additional armchair is paired with a footstool \u2013 and outside you\u2019ll find chairs and a side table on each balcony (one off the living room, one off the bedroom). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019Occitane\ntoiletries await in the bathroom, which has a lovely tub, an adjustable\nshowerhead, a rain showerhead, double sink basins and a television built into\nthe mirror. Once you\u2019re feeling fresh, the provided robe and slippers are\nplenty comfy to wear in the privacy of your room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food & Drink: N\/A<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is no shortage of dining options at Legend Palace Hotel. Guests\ncan find lighter fare at the Float pool bar and Lounge on Eight. Infinite is\nopen 24 hours a day, serving both Chinese and Western cuisine \u2013 but for fine\nCantonese dining, guests should choose The Grand Palace. This restaurant also\noffers ten VIP rooms with balconies over the water, pantries and private\ntoilets. Brasserie de Paris offers global cuisine from a buffet and set \u00e0 la\ncarte menus, and guests can enjoy views of Ponte de Amizade from the outdoor\ndining area. Meanwhile, The Gallery is the place to go for vintage whiskey,\nwines and liquor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I didn\u2019t indulge in the cuisine here, the gifted fruit plate\nwas superlative. (Seriously, where do they source their produce?) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Value: 8\/ 10<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Legend Palace Hotel actually qualifies as a five-star deluxe hotel,\nwhich trumps a \u2018regular\u2019 five-star hotel in Macau. While a night here will set\nyou back about $200 USD per night for a Superior Room, or $250 USD per night\nfor an Executive Room, the value for money at this high-end Macau hotel isn\u2019t\nbad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insider Tips <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  • If you treat yourself to a spa session, choose the Thai massage \u2013 since it\u2019s their speciality.
    <\/li>
  • Although the walk is short, you can take the complimentary hotel shuttle to Macau\u2019s Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal when you depart. Just book your timeslot in advance. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
