Few resort chains carry the clout associated with Banyan Tree. With elegant villas in exclusive locations around the world, luxury and privacy are what its clientele have come to expect. Scheduled to open early this year, Banyan Tree Macau could well redefine the concept of a city hotel. Located in Cotai City, a 15 minute drive from the airport, the 246 suites of Banyan Tree Macau each boast city skyline views and private indoor relaxation pools—a world first. The establishment will be part of the Galaxy Macau integrated resort complex, touted as Macau’s only authentically Asian five-star resort. Galaxy Macau will be home to over 50 F&B outlets, unique shopping streets, verdant oasis gardens and a massive sky wave pool. Watch the space at www.banyantree.com.
