Coastal Weekend Getaway Guide: W Macau – Studio City

If you’re looking for a brief escape from the hustle and bustle of our city, freshly opened W Macau – Studio City can offer you the perfect weekend getaway with its stunning rooms, lavish dining options, and zen-restoring amenities.

Since the borders have reopened earlier this year, Macau has found its tourism industry booming once again, with hundreds of thousands of visitors from neighbouring cities flooding back to the city seductively hailed as the Vegas of Asia. With an influx of shows, exhibitions, concerts and restaurant and bar openings, there’s no better time than now to join in on the fun and festivities, and the newly opened W Macau – Studio City is the perfect destination for both entertainment and relaxation. 

The newest establishment to open as part of the Studio City site, W Macau – Studio City stays true to W Hotels’ mission in offering luxury stays to those who prefer a more refined lifestyle. Its design is informed by the 1950s film Macao – a Hollywood production responsible for bringing global recognition to the city through a cinematic lens – and by capturing Macau’s striking contrasts between old and new, as well as Chinese and Portuguese influences, the spotlight is cast on a modern and contemporary Macau.

While you’ll immediately be greeted by glitz and glamour as soon as you step into the hotel lobby, the philosophy behind the W Macau – Studio City is fully fleshed out by the hotel’s numerous lodging options, which span from comfortable, relaxing rooms embellished with a touch of classic Hollywood flair in the form of warm spotlights and reflective surfaces to open, spacious suites inspired by Macau’s East-meets-West heritage, materialised through its vintage wardrobes, Bauhaus-style furniture and ceiling lights and floor lamps designed to resemble anchors and the coastal city’s Guia Lighthouse. Every living space carries the W Hotels’ signature W MixBar, which, in Macau, showcases a unique look drawn from lorchas – once a popular sailing vessel in the region that combines a Portuguese hull with a Chinese-styled junk rig with batten sails. 

As enjoyable as the rooms and suites are, once you’re ready to venture beyond them, the W Macau – Studio City’s myriad of dining options and amenities will also keep you just as satisfied and entertained. Feast on international delicacies at the trading port-inspired Hawker Hawker, which serves buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner before heading up to the top floor to indulge in contemporary Cantonese cuisine amid stunning cityscape views at DIVA. Before wrapping up your evening, step next door to Blind Tiger for a few delightful cocktails or premium spirits as you dance into the twilight.  

In between meals, be sure to also visit WET, the hotel’s stunning indoor pool where you can take a dip or relax on its numerous swinging beds, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna and cool-down pool, or treat yourself to a calm and soothing session at the AWAY® Spa, which vows to help you detox, reset and refresh. 

With everything you can possibly need for a wonderful stay in our neighbouring port city, W Macau – Studio City’s 430 guest rooms and 127 suites are now open for bookings
