If you’re planning a Macau trip soon, here’s something new on the horizon. SJM Resorts one of the original giants of Macau’s casino scene is branching out with a brand-new hotel across the border in Hengqin. They’ve just dropped over $100 million to buy and renovate 12 floors of a skyscraper on Jilin Road, transforming it into a 250-room, three-star boutique hotel. While this property won’t offer casino gaming (Macau still holds that exclusivity), it targets cross-border travelers, budget tourists, and business visitors thanks to its location near Hengqin Port and key transit links.
With hotel space getting tight in Macau especially during peak events like the Grand Prix or Golden Week this new option just a 10-minute drive from Cotai could become a go-to for travelers looking to stay nearby without breaking the bank.
Would you consider staying in Hengqin for a cheaper, quieter alternative to Cotai?
