THE KARL LAGERFELD — Hotel in Cotai Landfill Zone

The Hotel Karl Lagerfeld Macau is a real feast for the senses - and by "feast" I mean an overwhelming sensory assault that leaves you feeling a bit queasy.

The Bad:

The decor can only be described as "1950s Shanghai brothel chic", with bold red and gold accents that assault your eyeballs from every direction. It's like someone bedazzled a Chinese opium den.

The room I stayed in advertised a "city view", which turned out to be a view of the local landfill.

The second I opened the door of my hotel room, I was hit with a wall of odor that can only be described as a cross between a forgotten gym locker and a roadkill stew. It was like walking into the den of a herd of sweaty, chain-smoking grizzly bears.

The Good:

The saving grace of this hotel is the Mesa bar a true gem. From the moment you walk in, the staff greets you with genuine warmth and enthusiasm. The bartender (Rock) is a mixology master, crafting expertly balanced cocktails with care and precision. But what really sets this place apart is the staff's commitment to providing an exceptional experience for every patron. They're incredibly attentive, striking up engaging conversations and making sure you're comfortable. With a wide selection of both classic and creative libations, Mesa is the perfect spot for an evening of delicious drinks and wonderful company. I can't recommend it highly enough. Try the BOA Viagem, the perfect summer drink.

Overall, the Karl Lagerfeld hotel in Macau is an experience I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Unless, of course, that enemy is someone I really dislike, in which case I'd gleefully book them a stay and sit back to enjoy the show. Talk about a unique "hotel from hell" experience!

The Karl Lagerfeld Hotel in Macau is an amazing hotel with great architecture. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with a stunning design that is both modern and luxurious. The attention to detail is evident throughout the hotel, from the chic furnishings to the carefully curated artwork. Set that aside, what really sets this hotel apart is the 100% superb and amazing customer service provided by the staff. From the front desk to the staff assisting you in the pool area, everyone is incredibly friendly and helpful, always willing to go above and beyond to ensure that your stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. They assisted me with my needs and made me feel truly welcome. As said, there was a wonderful lady who voluntarily brought us all the way to the place where we wanted to go to, even taking the lift up with us to the location as well! Also, the pool at the Karl Lagerfeld Hotel is also worth a mention. It's a great place to relax and soak up the sun while taking in the stunning views of the beautiful Grand Lisboa Palace resorts. The atmosphere is peaceful and serene, and the changing rooms provide you with lotion, soap, dental products, natural made deodorant, gel and etc, with well-maintained and sparkly clean environment. ✨ Overall, I would highly recommend the Karl Lagerfeld Hotel in Macau, and I would definitely come here again once I come...
