Hotel Lisboa

Macau — Historical PropertyREPORTED

The Hotel Lisboa is a landmark casino hotel on the Macau Peninsula that opened in 1970 and was the flagship property of STDM and later SJM Holdings during Stanley Ho’s monopoly era. The hotel’s distinctive tower became a symbol of Macau’s gaming industry. The Grand Lisboa, a tower shaped like a golden lotus flower, opened next to the original Hotel Lisboa in stages in 2007 and 2008 as SJM’s response to the entry of Las Vegas operators.

In practice

The Hotel Lisboa and Grand Lisboa complex remains one of the most recognizable landmarks in Macau and continues to be a major gaming and tourism destination.
