The Londoner Macao officially opens in early 2021
Sands China Ltd has confirmed the first phase of The Londoner Macao resort will open in early 2021.
An official opening ceremony will take place in February.
It includes the all-suite Londoner Hotel which is accepting bookings from 22 January 2021.
As well as the hotel, Phase 1 opening of the US$2 billion project includes the Crystal Palace atrium, dining venues and various London-themed attractions.
The hotel includes branded ‘Suites by David Beckham’ who is Sands Resorts Macao global ambassador and helped market the project when it was first announced.
"I am excited for the launch of the first phase of The Londoner Macao and I hope guests will enjoy the London elements that are close to me. It has been amazing working with the Sands team to create the first-ever Suites by David Beckham," the ex-footballer said.
The Londoner Macao is a top to bottom conversion of the former Sands Cotai Central and is the third themed resort complex after The Venetian Macao and The Parisian Macao.
The façade is a recreation of the Houses of Parliament, including a mini Big Ben clock.
Amenities will include a new 6,000-seat theatre, a British themed restaurant called Churchill’s Table and a Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill.
Facilities will open gradually throughout 2021.
Themed elements comprise the Changing of The Guard show, a full-size Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain, an interactive ‘Black Cab Escape’ attaction and a five-metre red telephone box.
"Our investment in The Londoner Macao is a clear signal that we believe Macao’s future as one of the world’s most important leisure and business destinations remains on course," said Robert Goldstein, President and COO of Las Vegas Sands.
