When built, Holiday Inn Macao Cotai Strip will be the world’s largest Holiday Inn. The hotel will be in the heart of the bustling Cotai Strip and part of Sands China’s newest integrated resort – Sands Cotai Central. Scheduled to open in early 2012, this spectacular resort will include the second largest building in the world and the full resort will offer 6,000 additional hotel rooms to the area, along with a wide variety of gaming, dining, retail, entertainment and meeting facilities.
Cotai is a newly reclaimed area linking Coloane and Taipa islands in Macao. LVS’s Venetian Macao was the first hotel to debut on the area’s Cotai Strip in 2007 and when completed the Strip will offer an exciting new line-up of world-class hotels, prestigious brands and sensational entertainment.
In the past five years, Macao’s upper-upscale segment has made up nearly 90% of all newly opened hotels. This gives IHG a great opportunity to bring the affordable luxury of the mid-scale hotel segment to Macao. IHG is already present in Macao with its well-established Holiday Inn Macau, which opened in 1993.
The Holiday Inn brand offers our customers more selection of different hotel experience. With IHG’s international experience, brand value and vast sales infrastructure, it will certainly complement existing anchor Sands China properties to further increase and enhance Macau’s reputation as the premier and most diversified tourism destination in the region.”
