When visiting a city, it is wise to stay right smack in the centre of everything. The reason is simple – being in the heart of it all saves time and cost on transport. Sofitel Macau At Ponte 16 was the perfect choice for our recent trip to Macau. Well placed along Macau’s picturesque waterfront, the hotel nests in the centre of the charming historic quarter, with a walking distance to the UNESCO world heritage sites. Join us as we explore Sofitel Macau and see how this charming hotel balances the glamorous mix of classic and modern styles with its surrounding.
If you are coming over from Hong Kong or direct from Hong Kong International Airport, take the ferry to Macau Maritime Ferry Terminal. This terminal is far closer to the hotel than Macau Taipa Ferry Terminal. Upon arrival, look out for the Sofitel Macau At Ponte 16 shuttle bus and it will whisk you to Sofitel Macau’s grand lobby in less than 30 minutes (when the traffic is moderate).
