A little off the beaten path, the Diamond Casino & Holiday Inn is still worth a visit. Located downtown at the outdoor shopping plaza in the center of the business district, the Diamond Casino & Holiday Inn offers shopping, area attractions and a four-level casino.
Often described as “plain, but pleasant and comfortable,” the 24-hour Diamond Casino is located on the four floors above the Holiday Inn lobby. The Diamond offers plenty of table games – Baccarat, Blackjack, Chinese favorites, and yes, Poker. In fact, it’s the first non-Western owned casino in Macau that offered live Poker to its patrons. The facility also offers a number of slot machines and video gaming machines, so play until you tire.
When you do finally tire, check into one of the Holiday Inn’s 324 smoking and non-smoking rooms. You may choose general rooms with bedroom and an entertainment console or you can choose from one of 23 suites which feature a separate living room and bedroom. If you’re not satisfied for any reason, get your money back as part of the Holiday Inn’s satisfaction guarantee.
When you get hungry or need a drink, the Holiday Inn offers 24-hour room service, two restaurants, a lounge and a bar. Visit the Frascati Café for a relaxing and classic atmosphere. The café provides both Asian and Western dishes and a daily buffet. The Chinese restaurant provides the classical Chinese cuisine that brings many travelers eastward. For drinks, check out Oskar’s Bar with its plush seating and soothing ambience. The bar offers international beer, wine and cocktails.
Renovated in 2006, the Holiday Inn’s spa and fitness facilities provide all the relaxation and pleasure you can ask for. The Tea Tree Spa offers massage, body scrubs, body wraps, facials and holistic beauty treatments. If you’re in for more of a workout, enjoy a heated indoor pool, hot and cold Jacuzzis and full gymnasium with free weights and cardio machines.
Quiet and reflective by day, Macau comes alive at night, sparkling and glittering with millions of lights. There are no clubs onsite at Holiday Inn, but you can be sure that excitement is only a few steps away and open all night.
If you want to get active during the day, venture to nearby resort facilities to play tennis and golf or walk a short distance into the business district where hundreds of shops entice buyers. If you want to take in a little history, check out the ancient A-Ma Temple near the seashore.
