Marriott's Macau resort properties share ESPA spa
JW Marriott Hotel Macau and The Ritz-Carlton, Macau, have opened in the Special Administrative Region (SAR) of Macau in South China with one spa facility to be used by guests of both hotels.
The properties are located within entertainment and leisure destination Galaxy Macau in the Phase II resort section. The 1,015-key JW Marriott property is the largest in the brand’s Asian portfolio – a list of properties that is expected to grow by 21 hotels to reach 50 in the region by 2020. The 250-suite Ritz-Carlton is the brand’s 89th hotel and it plans to double its footprint across Asia in the next five years.
Speaking to Spa Opportunities, Ryan Kenneth – senior director of global spa operations at Marriott – outlined that the hotels are part of a combined resort location and therefore the spa is shared by guests of both hotels. The 10-treatment room facility, which also houses three couples’ suites, is an ESPA spa – designed to incorporate elements of Chinese and Portuguese architecture. The facility is located on the third floor of the Ritz-Carlton site.
Henry Lee, greater China COO for Marriott International commented: “The region [Macau] has undoubtedly changed significantly in recent years and we are seeing the city transform from a gaming destination to one with a more diverse range of entertainment and recreation options for guests of all ages.”
The JW property has four restaurants, a dedicated kids’ pool, an outdoor pool, as well as access to Galaxy Macau’s 75,000sq m (19-acre) Grand Resort Deck, Skytop Wave Pool, Skytop Rapids and a 350-tonne white sand beach.
The Ritz-Carlton hosts three dining venues and more than 900sq m (9,688sq ft) of flexible event space.
In the centre of Macau, 15 minutes away from the resort, a UNESCO World Heritage site comprises the A-Ma Temple, Ruins of St Paul and Senado Square.
