An unprecedented four hotels at Cotai Strip Resorts Macao have received an official Star Rating in the illustrious Forbes Travel Guide 2014 Awards: The Venetian® Macao-Resort-Hotel; Conrad Macao, Cotai Central; Holiday Inn Macao Cotai Central; and Four Seasons Hotel Macao, Cotai Strip. The four awards and 17 total stars in the hotel category make Cotai Strip Resorts Macao hotels the most-awarded in the city.
The Forbes stars came during a week of star-studded entertainment at Cotai Strip Resorts Macao – something that is becoming a regular occurrence at Sands China’s integrated resort city on Cotai.

An especially noteworthy addition among this year’s Forbes winners is Holiday Inn Macao Cotai Central, which has the unique distinction of being the only Holiday Inn in the world on the official Star Rating list, receiving a four-star rating.
“We’re extremely proud of all our team members for their contributions, which have led to four of the hotel brands at our properties being recognised by Forbes this year for their outstanding quality,” said Gunther Hatt, Executive Vice President of Operations, Venetian Macau Limited. “And among them, the Holiday Inn at Sands® Cotai Central, in less than two years in operation, has already distinguished itself above and beyond its peers in the Holiday Inn family – it’s not only the world’s largest for the brand, but has taken Holiday Inn’s legendary comfort and convenience to the next level, delivering an award-winning luxury resort experience at an affordable price.”
