HOTEL
HOTEL SINTRA
from MOP$2500; ; 3, 11, 22)
Spotless rooms and professional staff make this centrally located three-star hotel a
great-value option. Our only complaints are the slow-moving lift and the massive LED
screen of the Grand Emperor Hotel nearby, which is visible from some rooms. Dis-
counts of up to 50% midweek.
LUXURY HOTEL
MANDARIN ORIENTAL
Aterros do Porto Exterior;r MOP$2088-4000, ste MOP$4788-6588; )
A great high-end option, the Mandarin has everything associated with the brand -
elegance, superlative service, comfortable rooms and excellent facilities. Though rel-
atively small, it's a refreshing contrast to the glitzy casino hotels.

Built into the ruins of the 17th-century Barra Fort, the landmark São Tiago is the
most romantic place to stay in Macau. No other hotel has such a rich history. All 12

ant La Paloma is here.

All rooms at this elegant Victorian-style boutique hotel have a balcony - most with a
view of the bay. Unlike most hotels of this price in Macau, the Rocks doesn't have a
casino attached. It's also located in a relatively quiet area.
