The average nightly cost of a Macau five-star hotel room in January was MOP1,522.5 (US$189.0), down 2.9 percent year-on-year, while the average occupancy rate for the tier was 95.8 percent, up 0.8 percentage points from a year ago.
That is according to the latest monthly survey from the Macau Hotel Association, published by the Macao Government Tourism Office.
The survey figures were drawn from the 48 hotels that are members of the association, 27 of them five-star properties. Most of those five-star hotels are within casino resort complexes in the city. The rest of the association’s hotel members as of January were in either the four-star or three-star category: a few in casino resorts.
Average nightly cost for all categories of hotel rooms covered by the survey declined by 3.8 percent year-on-year, to MOP1,359.4.
Across the whole of 2025, the nightly cost of a Macau five-star room fell 5.0 percent year-on-year, to MOP1,513.5.
Five-star accommodation dominates Macau’s hotel market. As of December 31 – the most recent figures available – the city had 26,200 five-star hotel rooms, which was 58.0 percent of of the city’s aggregate 45,200 rooms, according to a separate set of data from the city’s Statistics and Census Service. The government’s citywide data includes accommodation categories below three star.
The tally of Macau five-star rooms was up 8.3 percent from December 2024, according to the statistics service.
