The Grande Hotel was built through a partnership between the president of the Bank of Canton, Huo Pao-tsai, and Hong Kong businessman Robert Ho Tung.
Constructed for around three hundred thousand patacas, the hotel was designed in 1937 by Portuguese engineer João Canavarro Nolasco and completed in 1940 after three years of construction. It first opened in 1941 and was considered one of the most majestic buildings in the city at that time.
As an important modernist building in Macau, the hotel occupies an area of 342 square meters, with a height of 40.4 meters and nine floors. Remaining unoccupied since 1996, the building was later acquired by new owners who proceeded with the restoration of this iconic hotel.
The Macau Tourism Office had not yet updated its information on the hotel at the time this article was published.
The hotel offers a total of 96 rooms, and according to information from online hotel booking platforms, it is classified as a “newly opened two-star hotel” with five types of rooms available: Standard Room with Double Bed, Standard Room with Two Beds, Room with Sea View and Two Beds, Room with Sea View and Double Bed, as well as Family Rooms.
The hotel is already accepting reservations, with the price per night starting at 828 yuan. However, the Family Rooms are already sold out.
