Located adjacent to the new world-class gaming complex, Ponte 16, the 20-story building is just steps away from the historical center of Macau and is listed as a Unesco world heritage site. In true Sofitel fashion, the structure derives inspiration from several cultural influences; its classical Portuguese architecture combines with Chinese design, and finishes with contemporary French style.
Well-being, elegance and refinement are the founding concepts of this new hotel, with amenities, such as the famous MyBed; the promise of a whole new experience of a restful night's sleep; or the concierge service dedicated to the Club Sofitel rooms. It also offers specially designed rooms, such as hotel's elegant mansion suites, appeal to this gaming capital's high-rollers.

Sofitel Macau Ponte 16 is located in the heart of the city's inner port neighborhood and is steps from the St Paul ruins and the A Ma Temple. The property was developed to promote the rich cultural heritage of the neighborhood while protecting its rich historical monuments such as the clock tower, the key monument of the district.
