Venetian Macau Hotel: Review & Experience (2026)

The Venetian Macau Hotel offers stunning rooms, plenty of restaurants and fun attractions; we share our full review and experience.

Known as the Vegas of Asia, Macau is an ever-growing metropolis, filled with big brand hotels and casinos. Just a short ferry from Hong Kong to Macau, this is a great place to head to if you’re looking for some fun. We took a trip to Macau for two nights, staying at The Venetian Macau Hotel. Another great Sands Resort, Venetian is worth a stay for those who love a bit of luxury.

After enjoying the many things to do in Hong Kong, jump on a ferry to explore the sights and gorgeous hotels of Macau.

Venetian Macau Hotel

The Venetian Macao is one of Asia’s most iconic luxury resorts, combining grand Italian-inspired architecture with world-class entertainment and hospitality, making it one of the best casinos in the world.

Located on the Cotai Strip, this spectacular resort is modeled after its sister property in Las Vegas and features elegant canals complete with gondola rides, marble floors, and Renaissance-style decor.

Guests can enjoy spacious all-suite accommodations, a vast shopping mall with designer boutiques, and an incredible range of dining options from casual eateries to fine dining restaurants. Beyond its opulent interiors, The Venetian Macau hotel also boasts one of the world’s largest casino floors and a lineup of live shows and events that make it a destination in itself for both leisure and business travelers.

Rooms at Venetian Macau Hotel

Every room at the Venetian Macau hotel is a suite and incredibly well decorated to follow the Venetian style. Our suite was spacious and luxurious with such a comfortable bed with thick fluffy pillows. The bathtub was wide and deep whilst the shower was powerful and easy to use. The rooms are elegant, with gorgeous detailing all over the suite. 

For the price, this is a luxurious option in Asia and the prices reflect this. Although cheaper than the rooms at The Venetian in Vegas, this is still a pricey hotel room compared to other hotels in Macau (off the strip) and nearby countries in Asia.

The Venetian Macau Shuttle Bus

Once we arrived at Macau we easily found the Venetian Macau hotel shuttle bus parked outside arrivals and jumped on, free of charge.

After a short wait, we headed past the sights of Macau to the Venetian. On arrival, we headed to the reception and were politely greeted and checked in by a lovely gentleman – who always checked we were ok and happy every time he saw us for the rest of our stay. We were upgraded to a room with a view and taken to our suite.

Firstly, you can enjoy shopping! The hotel has a huge shopping area, full of high-end brands such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Hermes along with other western brands such as Marks & Spencers and Zara.

Why visit Macau?

Nicknamed the Vegas of Asia, Macau is a unique place to visit in Asia. With themed hotels resembling those you would get on the Las Vegas strip standing alongside Portuguese-influenced architecture and ruins, Macau is a place of interesting contrasts. Spend time visiting the different hotels and casinos, try the local food and visit St Pauls Ruins on this island just off Hong Kong. 

Getting to Macau

From Hong Kong, we headed to the Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal, located at Shun Tak Centre in Sheung Wan. Head to the 3rd floor where you can find the TurboJet ticketing office or use the automatic machines.

Once you have purchased your tickets you need to check in and get your passports checked at immigration – just like you would a flight. Head to your departure gate and follow the instructions from the boarding staff.

Other places to stay in Macau

There are plenty of hotel options in Macau and, although The Venetian is a great choice, we also have some other great options in the Cotai area; this is the ‘Vegas’ area of Macau. 

• City of Dreams – Home to top restaurants and the gorgeous House of Dancing Water, City of Dreams s a mid-range, affordable hotel on the Cotai strip. 
• Studio City Macau – With a fantastic water park and a unique Ferris wheel in the shape of an 8, the Studio City Macau hotel is perfect for families. 
• The Parisian Macao – This Paris-themed hotel is a must for couples looking for a romantic getaway. The theming in this hotel is excellent and deals can be found when booking in advance.
