The best hotels in Macau for enjoying one of the city's legendary fireworks displays have commanding views of the Praia Grande Outer Harbour and as fireworks are launched from the sea area in front of the Macau Tower, they can be found on both the Macau Peninsula and Taipa sides.
If you happen to be in town when one of these legendary displays are on, planning your stay in advance is highly advisable as the city runs at full capacity, and specially if your aim is to have the fireworks in view from your hotel.
Booking.comAvoiding the crowds as you enjoy one of these mesmerizing events from the comfort of your own room, champagne glass in hand, is bound to be one of the highlights of your trip, which goes without saying, will come with a price...
This is when fireworks displays can be enjoyed in Macau:
- Chinese New Year - in January or February
- Macau International Firworks Contest - in the Autumn
- New Year's Eve
You can expect hotel rates to skyrocket at these times. For the best deals and choices try to book as early as possible. If you want to watch the fireworks from your bedroom be sure to reserve a room facing the waterfront towards the area in front of the Macau Tower. Alternatively, all of these hotels will have restaurants, lounges or terraces with fantastic fireworks views for guests to enjoy.
