Macao is set to welcome visitors worldwide as Sands China Ltd. formally launches its rebranded integrated resort, The Londoner® Macao, with a grand celebration on May 25. The former Sands Cotai Central underwent a spectacular two-year rebranding process, and with its transformation into The Londoner Macao, the city is emerging triumphantly from the pandemic.

The gala event, “The Journey Begins,” will be attended by David Beckham, the British soccer icon and Sands Resorts Macao global ambassador. The launch marks a new beginning for Sands China Ltd. as it renews its commitment to Macao through a new 10-year gaming concession.

The Londoner Hotel Louis Suite

The Londoner Macao, a US$2 billion project, comprises five opulent hotels, including the all-suite flagship, The Londoner Hotel. The integrated resort’s hotels offer nearly 6,000 rooms, complemented by three spas, four health clubs, over 20 dining options, boutiques from 150 world-renowned brands, and state-of-the-art conference facilities, including the new 6,000-seat The Londoner Arena. The British design aesthetic is prevalent throughout the resort, creating an architectural masterpiece that is highly Instagrammable.

Guests can enjoy several unique features, including a glass-covered porte-cochère modelled after a similar feature at London’s Victoria Station, a life-size replica of London’s iconic Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben), a “Changing of the Guard” inspired by the daily ceremony at Buckingham Palace, and an imposing façade featuring architectural details modelled after the Palace of Westminster and Houses of Parliament that comes to life in the evenings with the Londoner Light and Sound Spectacular and seasonal displays. The Londoner Macao also offers accommodation options designed by the renowned London interior design firm David Collins Studio, with 14 super-luxe apartments in the invitation-only Suites by David Beckham.

The Londoner Macao is also a destination for gourmet experiences, with several award-winning restaurants, including Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill, The Mews, and The Huaiyang Garden. The newly opened The Londoner Arena can accommodate up to 6,000 visitors for a wide range of events, while the resort boasts 34,300 square meters of meeting and convention space.

The Londoner Macao is owned and operated by Sands China Ltd., a majority-owned Las Vegas Sands Corporation subsidiary. The complex also features 150 fashion and lifestyle boutiques that comprise Shoppes at Londoner. The Shoppes at Londoner joins Shoppes at Venetian, Shoppes at Parisian, and Shoppes at Four Seasons for 850 combined stores, all within walking distance of each other.

Dr Wilfred Wong, President of Sands China Ltd., said, “Now that Covid-19 pandemic restrictions have eased, we are delighted to finally give The Londoner Macao the unveiling it deserves and share its fabulous transformation with the world. At the same time, we’re also celebrating the opportunity we’ve been given over the next 10 years by the Macao SAR government to help the city evolve into a fully diversified, global tourism hub.”

With the launch of The Londoner Macao, the city is poised to become a top global destination, offering an unparalleled experience that blends the best of British design and Macao hospitality.
