Hotels in MacauAn older hilltop hotel with mid-range comfort, officially rated five-star
7.7/10
A good pick for quiet and tower views, provided you can handle the hill.
Riviera is an older hilltop hotel with mid-range comfort rather than contemporary luxury, despite Macau's official five-star classification. It's a good pick for a quieter base near the historic sights, especially with a harbour-view room facing Macau Tower. Recent Expedia and Trip.com guests repeatedly praise clean, comfortable rooms and helpful staff; the views are its clearest selling point.
The main compromise is the steep approach: walking back from sightseeing can be tiring, particularly in heat or rain. Guests report a shuttle, but confirm its stops and timetable rather than relying on it for every outing. Breakfast gets mixed feedback, and some recent Tripadvisor guests describe dated interiors and unhelpful problem handling. We'd skip it for a luxury celebration, easy step-free sightseeing or a resort-focused holiday; it's better for travelers who prioritize quiet and scenery over being central.
