Intriguing, lively and colourful, Macau is a town that never really sleeps. It stretches along the Pearl River. And yet, for the adventure-minded, this former Portuguese trading post has retained the melancholic charm of the old colonies with its baroque churches and its azulejos (ceramic tile work). It is this “secret” Macau that you will discover at the Pousada de Sao Tiago. Situated on the beautiful, shady boulevard, Baia de Praia Grande, this romantic hotel has been crafted from a sumptuous 17th century fortress, the Fortaleza da Barra. Converted into an exceptional pousada that was fully refurbished in 2007, this historic monument is an oasis of calm, just a few minutes from the renowned A-Ma temple. Majestically overlooking the port of Macau, the fortress harbours within its walls a small 18th century treasure: the Chapel of St. James, built to honour the patron saint of the Portuguese garrison. It is in this tradition-steeped atmosphere that you can rest your wandering soul and enjoy a bewitching stay. Each of the warm and elegant 12 suites offers breathtaking views of the bay and every possible comfort. In the restaurant La Paloma, located in the vaulted dining rooms of the fortress, the chef reinvents every day the history of the country with cuisine that is a combination of Spanish and Macanese flavours. Intriguing, lively and colourful cuisine - just like Macau!
