Bottom Line

Less than a five-minute walk from Macau's Grand Lisboa, the 240-room Hotel Sintra is an upper-middle-range hotel within walking distance of several of the city's famous casinos. The hotel has a 24-hour coffee shop and a Chinese restaurant on-site with weekend buffets and dim sum breakfasts. Rooms are spacious, with comfortable beds and wall-mounted flat-screen TVs, but the carpeting and wooden furnishings in some rooms feel a bit tired. There’s no pool or fitness center on-site. Guests looking for more amenities should compare rates with Royal Hotel Macau, which has a sleek pool though is farther from the waterfront.

Oyster Hotel Review

Hotel Sintra

Scene

Classic hotel with traditional atmosphere and style

With a pink and maroon exterior sporting a large butterfly and floral motif, the upper-middle-range Hotel Sintra won't win any style awards from the outside. The lobby is more attractive, however, with checkerboard marble floors, iron railings, high ceilings, and a chandelier -- the look is classic and sharp, with bellmen standing at attention under a glittering chandelier. Guests can dine at Sintra Restaurant, where large windows shed light on the dining room with green carpeted floors and maroon and white table linens. Bright pink circles on wooden chairs add pops of color to an otherwise sedate color scheme near the bar. There are few other places in the hotel for guests, and this hotel is best for travelers who plan on spending most of their time out enjoying the entertainment in Macau. The atmosphere is traditional and there's a welcoming vibe that draws a mix of families, couples, and groups of friends.

Location

Convenient location in central Macau near casinos and nightlife

This hotel is located in the city’s Central Business District, less than a five-minute walk to the iconic Grand Lisboa Hotel and several casinos. The hotel sits just outside the densely packed warren of streets and alleys that make up the city's UNESCO-designated historic core -- it's a five to 10-minute walk from the hotel depending on the destination. The restaurants and bars that drive the nightlife on Senado Square are six minutes away on foot, while the Ruins of St. Paul’s, a 17th-century landmark, is within a 15-minute walk. The city's fort and museum both sit adjacent to St. Paul's. The Hong Kong-Macau ferry terminal is a seven-minute ride on the hotel’s free shuttle, and from there a ferry ride to Hong Kong takes about an hour. Both the Macau International Airport and the Cotai Strip, which is full of casinos and hotels, can be reached within a 15-minute drive.

Rooms

Spacious rooms with mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi

Spacious rooms start at 26 square meters, or 280 square feet, and the look is homey and modern, with comfortable beds, wooden desks, armoires, and sitting chairs set next to the windows. Decor can feel a bit tired, especially in some rooms with dated carpeting and louvered oak furniture, and there is an abundance of patterns on display, from the rugs to curtains to bed runners. That said, rooms are pleasant enough, especially given the hotel's reasonable rates. All rooms have electric kettles for coffee or tea, wall-mounted flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and mini-fridges. Bathrooms vary in design. Deluxe Room bathrooms are covered in light marble with shower/tub combos while higher-category rooms are sharp and contemporary. They have black granite walls and countertops plus rainfall showerheads, modern fixtures, and hardware. Some higher-category bookings also have separate rainfall showers and whirlpool tubs. Slippers, glass scales, and generous amenity kits with toothbrushes are nice touches in all rooms.

Features

Chinese restaurant, 24-hour coffee shop, and free shuttle to ferry

Like most three- and three-and-a-half pearl hotels in central Macau, the on-site offerings are fairly thin here, and the hotel is more of a place to sleep at night and recharge for a day in the city. There's a restaurant serving Chinese Dim Sum, steaks, Macanese cuisine, and a weekend buffet. Portuguese wines are available, and there’s a 24-hour coffee shop as well. Room service is available around the clock, but breakfast is not included in room rates. The hotel provides a free shuttle to Macau Maritime Ferry Terminal. Meeting rooms are available for private events, and valet laundry service is available for a fee. Wi-Fi is free throughout.
