Wynn Palace

Macau, China

Estimated to have cost a hair-raising $4 billion to build, this second hotel in the casino city from the US-based Wynn dynasty raised the bar for Macau accommodation upon opening. It’s big, bold and extravagant; for a sense of scale, consider the vast, cable-car encircled lake built outside which is larger than two soccer pitches combined. Epitomising Macau’s glitzy gaming character, the hotel’s 1,700 plus rooms and suites, invitation-only villas, and gargantuan communal zones are richly coloured, gilded where possible, and furiously opulent. King-sized beds, bathroom TVs and gilt hairbrushes are some of the smaller nods to out-and-out luxury in bedrooms. Larger-than-life floral arrangements are scattered throughout the hotel, and the spa – stretching over 48,000 square feet – is the city’s largest. An entire shopping mall hides within these Tardis-like dimensions, too. Suited and booted cash-flush risk-takers fill its more than a dozen restaurants, feasting on northern Chinese noodle dishes, Italian classics, surf and turf and more, before heading to the gambling tables. The hottest booking right now is the hotel’s omakase restaurant, Sushi Mizumi. Fresh from serving US presidents, renowned knife master Tsutomu Shimamiya flies in fresh ingredients from Japan daily to feed 12 lucky diners at each evening service.
