Macau is back in business and we can’t wait to visit! If you’re after a break without a long flight or a change of timezone, you’ll want to book those ferry tickets pronto. Safe to say there are plenty of hotels in Macau to choose from, but these are our picks of the best places to stay with kids.
Between the brand new Macau hotel openings and super exciting family-friendly attractions, we’re just busting to get over to our sister city. There’s the new immersive zipline adventure, ZIPCITY at Lisboeta Macau and The Londoner’s nightly Light and Sound Spectacular. Thankfully, family-friendly restaurants, Fernandos with their delicious grilled chicken and seafood (yum!) and Lord Stow’s Bakery with their famous Portuguese-style egg tarts (double yum!) are still serving. Now, where to stay for a weekend getaway? Try one of these family-friendly Macau hotels or resorts!
