IAG MAR 2021年3月 亞博匯 26 COVER STORY in collaboration with leading London interior design firm David Collins Studio. Also part of the initial opening is a new main lobby dubbed Crystal Palace, featuring a 33-meter high glass and iron atrium in classic Victorian style and full-scale Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain as the centerpiece. A “Changing of the Guard” will take place at regular intervals throughout the day in Crystal Palace, replicating the famous Buckingham Palace attraction in London. New food and beverage offerings include northern Chinese restaurant North Palace, Churchill’s Table which is said to reflect a classic Victorian-era food hall offering international breakfast and all-day Mediterranean lunch and dinner, and the reopening of St Regis Bar. Soon to follow will be fine Thai restaurant and bar The Mews, and authentic British gastropub Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill with a menu put together by the celebrity chef. By the end of 2021, The Londoner Macao will also welcome a new 6,000 seat Londoner Arena, expanded Shoppes at Londoner retail space with over 150 high- end stores, and the 370-room residential-style all- suite hotel Londoner Court, formerly St Regis Tower Suites, before unveiling its brand-new exterior, featuring detailed replicas of some of Britain’s most famous landmarks – the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben among them. It’s a massive project with a price tag to match, which begs the question – is The Londoner Macao worth the hefty investment? London has long ranked high on the global destination wish lists of Chinese consumers. 長期以來倫敦一直在中國消費者全球旅遊目的地願望清單中名列前茅。
