Building upon its reputation for excellence, Galaxy Macau has recently added two magnificent luxury hotels, Andaz Macau and Raffles at Galaxy Macau, to its portfolio. These two world-class establishments are designed to redefine the concept of luxury, offering guests an unparalleled experience of opulence and sophistication.
Andaz Macau
Boasting over 700 meticulously designed rooms and suites, Andaz Macau stands as the largest hotel under the Andaz name worldwide, and it proudly holds the distinction of being the brand’s exclusive presence in Macau.
Nestled between the historic neighbourhoods of Old Taipa and Coloane, Andaz Macau offers guests a truly immersive experience in the authentic essence of Macau. Its prime location not only offers easy access to fantastic amenities and attractions at the resort, but it also provides a gateway to the outstanding tourism and MICE facilities of Galaxy Macau.
Andaz Macau’s remarkable collection of artworks showcases the incredible talent and creativity of various artists. One highlight is the captivating series of steel sculptures titled “Juxtapose” by Malaysian artist Tang Mun Kian, which pays homage to the city’s rich architectural heritage and cherished landmarks, while also capturing the perspectives and stories of local residents.

At Andaz Kitchen, a vibrant all-day dining destination, you can savour Portuguese, Macanese and neighbourhood cuisines prepared right in front of you. The restaurant’s design is inspired by Macau’s iconic shophouses, creating a truly immersive and memorable dining experience.
Andaz Studio is a multi-function space conveniently connected to the main restaurant through a discreet entrance. With a capacity to accommodate up to 80 guests, this versatile venue is the ideal choice for both business and private events. It is also perfect for interactive experiences, such as master chef cooking classes.
Step into the adjacent Andaz Lounge, and you’ll be instantly enveloped by its warm and inviting atmosphere, reminiscent of a cosy residential living room. With its thoughtful design and local influences, this space is a true reflection of Macau’s heritage and culture.
Andaz Bar offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, where you can indulge in a variety of imaginative cocktails skilfully prepared by the talented mixologist Shobit Shetty – who has worked in one of “Asia’s 50 Best Bars”.
Raffles at Galaxy Macau
Raffles at Galaxy Macau has truly captured the essence of this legendary brand from Singapore by envisioning it as the residence of a fictional 14th-century Italian merchant. This magnificent concept enchants guests with its stunning collection of around 450 exquisite suites adorned with art and precious artefacts.
As you enter the dramatic lobby, you’ll be greeted by a stunning 15-metre-high chandelier, which is adorned with an astounding 500,000 crystals and 23,000 crystal rods. The exquisite marble pillars that grace the lobby and lounge give an air of elegance and grandeur, transporting you to a place where legendary hospitality awaits.

Ranging in size from 78 to 228 square metres, the exquisite suites provide ample space for relaxation and rejuvenation. For those seeking an extra touch of exclusivity, select suites boast their own private, heated pools and gardens, allowing guests to bask in the serenity of their own personal oasis.
For a truly breathtaking experience, several unique loft suites feature double-storey windows, flooding the space with natural light and offering panoramic views.
You absolutely can’t afford to miss the renowned Raffles afternoon tea, which showcases delectable treats masterfully crafted by award-winning pastry chef Lok Hin Yam. Joining him is the talented chef Jacky Lung, who earned the prestigious title of Greater China winner at the World Chocolate Masters in 2021 and even made it as a top 10 finalist in the global competition.

You’re also invited to indulge in a European heritage afternoon tea experience, featuring a delightful Éclair Trolley with exotic flavours. Savour the delectable treats while enjoying magnificent views. In the tranquil hours of the night, immerse yourself in the melodic masterpiece of a meticulously crafted Steinway Baby Grand piano.
For those who crave a truly satisfying meal, the hotel’s all-day dining options are here to satisfy your appetite. Executive chef Yorick Soh, renowned for his culinary expertise at Michelin-starred and internationally acclaimed restaurants, has meticulously crafted an inviting menu that is sure to please.
The oyster bar at Galaxy Macau serves an exquisite selection of world-class seafood. Fresh oysters are sourced from around the globe, from France to the west coast of Ireland. Indulge in the perfect pairing of these delectable oysters with a glass of champagne or white wine.

Over the years, Macau has undergone a remarkable transformation, now catering to a diverse range of travellers. Galaxy Macau is a shining example of how this destination has evolved into a world-class travel destination.
Whether you’re a family looking for a fun-filled vacation, a business traveller attending important meetings, or someone in need of a relaxing weekend getaway, Galaxy Macau has got you covered.
