ST REGIS BAR, THE ST REGIS MACAO, COTAI CENTRAL
What’s special? The hotel’s namesake bar gives life to post-meeting drinks by crafting interactive experiences. Bloody Mary fans can try their hand at preparing the brand’s signature tipple in a ‘Maria do Leste’ cocktail-making class, and until April, groups are also being offered two limited edition tasting experiences – A Taste of 1904 Cognac and Port Aficionado.
For planners The venue houses three separate spaces for events: The Bar, memorable for its LED mural centerpiece, which can accommodate 60 standing or 48 for a sit-down dinner; The Vault, a private room with space for 30 standing or 20 seated; or Decanter wine cellar, stocked with the sommeliers’ pick of sought vintages.
