MACAO – Nov 22, 2016 – Inspired by the joyful Christmas season, the multi-award-winning Conrad Macao, Cotai Central presents a series of indulgent and sophisticated surprises for its guests this festive holiday season.

Bring Your Conrad Christmas Home

Great food is the key factor to any successful dinner party. As being a gracious host takes considerable effort, Conrad Macao chefs are here to offer a helping hand by presenting magnificent turkey and succulent roast feasts with all the trimmings to take away for either Thanksgiving or Christmas celebrations, so that you can relax and enjoy the time with your friends and family. Between Nov. 23, 2016 and Jan. 2, 2017, takeaway roast packages are available at Grand Orbit, with selections of roasted turkey, whole chicken, bone-in leg of lamb, pineapple and honey-glazed ham, U.S. Black Angus beef striploin and pumpkin pie.

The season would of course not be complete without a Christmas edition bespoke Conrad Bear and Conrad Duck. These limited-edition, stylish black and white zebra design collectibles will go on sale from Dec. 20 exclusively at The Gift Shop, and are provided complimentary to guests staying at the hotel on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day nights.

“Christmas will be as glamorous or as intimate as you choose,” said Bede Barry, General Manager of Conrad Macao. “Conrad Macao has taken inspiration from the elegance of glamorous gold for Christmas and the festive season this year, centred around a unique centrepiece comprising 1,200 pieces of gold sequin fabric with 168 acrylic stars and 32 steel leaves, which will be a must-see at the hotel lobby. There is so much for those who want to enjoy the season's decorations, entertainment and festive activities in and around the hotel.
