The average nightly cost of a Macau five-star hotel room in December was MOP1,552.3 (US$193.3), down 6.2 percent year-on-year, while the average occupancy rate for the tier was 95.2 percent, flat 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 data 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 December were in either the four-star or three-star category: a few in casino resorts, but most not.
The latest survey results took the nightly cost of a Macau five-star hotel room for full-year 2025 to MOP1,513.5, down 5.0 percent year-on-year.
Average nightly cost for all categories of hotel rooms covered by the survey declined by 3.5 percent year-on-year, to MOP1,353.3 in 2025.
The average occupancy rate for the surveyed five-star hotel rooms stood at 94.5 percent in 2025, up by 1.8 percentage points year-on-year, while that for all surveyed categories was up by 1.6 percentage points to 93.7 percent.
Five-star accommodation dominates Macau’s hotel market. As of November – the most recent figures available – the city had 26,000 five-star hotel rooms, nearly 60 percent of the 43,800 hotel rooms in aggregate, according to a separate set of data from the Statistics and Census Service. The government’s aggregate data includes categories below three star.
The tally of Macau five-star rooms was up 5.4 percent from a year ago, statistics-service data show.
