HILTON Worldwide and Sands China, a subsidiary of global resort developer Las Vegas Sands, have signed a franchise agreement to open the first Conrad hotel in Macau.
The Conrad Macao, Cotai Strip will form part of the Sands Cotai Central integrated resort development that includes meeting and convention space and two casinos.
Comprising 636 rooms, the Conrad Macau is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2012 at Cotai Central. The property will offer four F&B outlets; including Chinese and Macanese specialty restaurants, a health club, a spa and an outdoor pool.
Andrew Clough, senior vice president, development, Middle East & Asia Pacific, Hilton Worldwide, said: “This is a key project for us as it marks the entry of the Conrad brand, one of Hilton Worldwide’s luxury segment brands, into an exciting new market like Macau.
The Conrad Macao joins existing Conrad properties in Hong Kong and Sanya Haitang Bay, and seven under construction in Dalian, Beijing, Suzhou, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Qingdao, and Xiamen in Greater China.
