A new jewel in Cotai's crown
Offering a global take on English style, tradition and hospitality, The Londoner Macao comprises five lavish hotels – including the award-winning all-suite flagship, The Londoner Hotel, and the ultra-luxurious Londoner Court – with nearly 6,000 rooms and suites in total.
On site are three spas, four health clubs, more than 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.
Uniting the lavish complex is a British design aesthetic, inspired by everything from Mayfair clubs to Cool Britannia chic. Among the highlights are:
- An imposing façade modeled after the Palace of Westminster and Houses of Parliament that comes to life in the evenings with the Londoner Light and Sound Spectacular;
- A life-size replica of

- A glass-covered porte-cochère entrance, modeled after a similar feature at
London's Victoria Station; - The Crystal Palace atrium – a version of the Victorian design icon in glass, iron and marble with an intricate, 10-story-high ceiling; and
- A full-scale reproduction of the famed Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain with its Anteros Statue in
London's Piccadilly Circus.

Goldstein.
Goldstein added that the launch of the iconic The Londoner Macao and additional investments in non-gaming infrastructure would play an increasingly visible role in the future growth of Cotai. "We are excited to fully support the
