Art at Every Turn: Experience Palace Living at Wynn Palace
This is my second comprehensive visit to Wynn Palace in Macau's Taipa. During my previous visit, I encountered a typhoon and could only stay in my room. This time, I came during the best season to visit Macau, with pleasant temperatures and gentle breezes, finally fulfilling my two-year-long wish 🎉🎉🎉
Though Wynn Palace has only been open for about 5 years, it remains Macau's crowning achievement in luxury resorts. The entire resort resembles Versailles - everywhere you look, even in public restrooms, you'll find stunning works of art. It's no exaggeration to say it's filled with European noble artistic ambiance. Wynn Palace's most distinctive and experiential elements include regularly updated large-scale art installations, the Performance Lake, and cable car. The shopping boulevard is home to almost exclusively luxury brands 💎💎💎
With such luxurious amenities, basic rooms started at 2,000 yuan before the pandemic. Now, prices have dropped by more than half due to the pandemic, making it an incredible value. I used the saved budget to try their in-room breakfast service, which was absolutely amazing. There are many breakfast set options, the food is delicious, and portions are much larger than expected. Dining by the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the outdoor pool and Performance Lake, with stunning city views, you can't help but feel good. It's also perfect for social media photos 📸📸📸
Not only are the rooms stunning, but even the elevators, corridors, and other public areas are beautiful, with perfect orange and white color schemes. The amenities, tea bags, welcome gifts, and turndown gifts are all so artistically crafted that I couldn't put them down 😍😍😍
Wynn Palace has numerous restaurants, some of which are hard to get reservations for. This time, I brought enough budget to fully experience SW Steakhouse, the world's only Forbes Five-Star steakhouse, and Wing Lei Palace, a Michelin one-star restaurant. The former offers generous portions of delicious food with entertaining theatrical performances that are both spectacular and humorous. The latter serves exquisite Cantonese cuisine while overlooking the musical fountain shows at the Performance Lake. Both represent the highest standards of Chinese and Western cuisine in Macau and are must-visit dining destinations 🍴🍴🍴
I must mention that I strongly recommend including art appreciation in your Macau itinerary. I was fortunate to visit during "Art Macao: Macao International Art Biennale 2021" at the Wynn Art Gallery, featuring the "Masterpieces of Chinese Painting" exhibition. While admission is free, the exhibition content is absolutely breathtaking 👀👀👀
Wynn Palace is very accessible, with free shuttle buses from border gates, airport, and ferry terminals. The cable car overlooking the musical fountain and lake views is free for everyone, and hotel guests can skip the queue ✌🏻️✌🏻️✌🏻️
Macau's territory-wide pandemic prevention measures are very thorough. Masks are required in indoor public areas, Macau Health Code checks are conducted at entrances, and 48-hour negative nucleic acid test reports are required when entering and leaving Macau. All major resorts have nucleic acid testing points, costing approximately 56 yuan per person 🦠🦠🦠
