This, the first all-suite hotel in the Ritz Carlton portfolio, occupies a prime position overlooking Cotai.

It is part of the spectacular Galaxy Macau entertainment and leisure complex with its Grand Resort Deck featuring the world's longest sky-top aquatic adventure ride.

Hotel guests have instant access to the integrated resort's entertainment such as Broadway Theatre, family shows, cinemas, night spots and performances as well as casinos.

A nice touch is that guests have the facility to be able to check in once inside their room and so this cuts out long waits at the reception desk.

The attractions of Macau are minutes away, including the shops at Senado Square, the Macau Tower and the Unesco World Heritage site, but stick around for the spa, fitness centre and outdoor swimming pool as well as free Wi-Fi and several restaurants, bars and lounges.

RATES: Rooms from £220 per night including Club Lounge access and breakfast. ritzcarlton.com/macau 

There are over 230 suites, including the stylish Ritz-Carlton Sky Villa and the views are amazing.

The suites are shamelessly opulent, with huge rooms (an average 96 metres square) featuring deep sofas, fine furnishings and windows with grand views.

Beds have luxury Rivolta Italian linen, Tivoli sound system and Nespresso coffee machines. Electronic drapes and a leather mini-bar add to the ambience. The marble bathrooms have huge circular baths, shower and powder rooms.

Dining is classic Cantonese at the contemporary Lai Heen, or a more casual meal at The Ritz Carlton Café which offers classic French dishes and an array of seafood. Al-fresco dining is available at the Pool Bar. Afternoon tea and cocktails are served at the Ritz Carlton Bar & Lounge where there is live music and a DJ in the evenings.
