Why you can trust SCMP
Remember the Holiday Inn that was sandwiched between the Sheraton, Conrad and St Regis hotels on Macau’s Cotai Strip? Well, it is no more. In its place stands The Londoner, the latest and brightest jewel in the Sands China crown.

The hotel is marketed as an exclusive, luxury resort/destination and the all-suite tower houses 594 rooms, including 14 Suites by David Beckham on the top two floors. (The English football icon is a global ambassador for Sands Resorts Macao.)
Confusingly, The Londoner Hotel and Londoner Court – 368 suites that are a further cut above (think butler service and tailored health and wellness programmes) – are separate entities.
Just as The Venetian has a replica of the Campanile di San Marco and The Parisian a faux Eiffel Tower, so The Londoner has a little Big Ben and an imitation Palace of Westminster facade towering over a porte-cochère (covered door) modelled on the British capital’s Victoria railway station.
