Nine hotels were under construction in Macau as of the June 2023 quarter, potentially providing the city with 3,732 additional hotel rooms in the future, according to the latest figures from the Macau Land and Urban Construction Bureau. Another eight hotels were in the design stage, the agency added.
Of the nine hotels under construction, seven are located on the Macau peninsula and two on the Cotai reclamation area, including the Cotai Strip.
The gross floor area of the additional 3,732 hotel rooms will be 221,113 square meters, with 1,361 parking spaces provided for light motor vehicles and 376 spaces for motorcycles.
The two hotels under construction on the Cotai reclamation area – believed to reference Galaxy Macau Phase 4 and Studio City’s W Macau – will provide the majority of the new room supply with 2,808 hotel rooms.
The eight hotels currently in the design phase include six on the Macau Peninsula, one in Taipa and one in Coloane, and will provide 1,308 hotel rooms with a gross floor area of 61,177 square meters, plus 226 parking spaces for light motor vehicles and 112 parking spaces for motorcycles.
Galaxy Entertainment Group recently completed its Phase 3 project, with the Raffles and Andaz hotels to provide over 450 and 700 hotel rooms respectively.
GEG has previously indicated that the number of hotel rooms across its expansive Galaxy Macau property will increase from 6,000 to 7,500 upon completion of Phase 4.
