France is renowned for its culture and history, so it’s no surprise that Macau’s new and only French luxury hotel is offering a package that focuses on the unique heritage of the Chinese territory. Macau (PRWEB) September 12, 2008 — After its grand opening last month, the Sofitel Macau At Ponte 16 has wasted no time in offering guests a window into the extraordinary cultural heritage of the Chinese territory. The Sofitel Macau is located in the Inner Harbour of Macau’s Pier 16, one of the oldest financial hubs in Macau - the former Portuguese enclave. The development echoes the Inner Harbour’s heritage and protects landmarks such as the Old Clock Tower, the focal point of the HK$3.2 billion (US$400 million) project. Macau was administered by Portugal for 442 years, first as a trading post and then as a Portuguese territory until its handover to China in 1999. It was the last European territory in Asia. Macau is the preferred destination for curious tourists eager to witness grand baroque churches, balconied colonial mansions, open plazas and Mediterranean-style cafes. For those seeking modern amenities, the Chinese Special Administrative Region also boasts state-of-the-art shopping malls, theme parks, towers and bridges, not to mention an assortment of high-end casinos. Those out to experience the vast history of the Chinese territory can immerse themselves in the five-star Sofitel Macau and enjoy the “Culture Rendez-Vous” package. “Cultural Rendez-Vous” offers exquisite accommodation in a unique environment filled with local culture and French art de vivre. While at the Sofitel Macau, local heritage can be discovered with VIP access to exhibits, museums, and cultural events. The luxury Macau hotel is within walking distance of the “Historic Centre of Macau,” a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a living representation of the city’s original settlement. It is also close to the Ruins of St. Paul, A Ma Temple, Macau Tower, the ferry terminal and the international airport. Valued guests have the choice of panoramic city views or river views when staying at the Sofitel Macau. Each of the 408 opulent rooms boasts a state-of-the-art design. Sofitel Macau At Ponte 16 is the 22nd Sofitel to open in China, and follows the successful launch of Sofitel Wanda Beijing last year. The Sofitel network will grow to 25 hotels by the end of 2008, making it one of China’s largest and fastest growing luxury hotels.
