With its origins on New York’s Fifth Avenue and a legacy spanning over a century, the St. Regis brand is synonymous with lavish celebrations and unparalleled luxury, rightfully earning its reputation as the House of Celebration.
In Macao, much like in its other properties around the globe, this legacy shines even brighter during the festive season. The St. Regis Macao presents bespoke experiences that artfully combine festive cheer with swank and tradition.
From refined culinary experiences crafted from pristine ingredients, to an afternoon tea that invites you to follow your nose, the St. Regis Macao stands out as the ultimate festive destination this holiday season.
Christmas and New Year’s Eve at The Manor
At the hotel’s signature restaurant, The Manor, Executive Sous Chef Michele Dell’Aquila has crafted a series of celebratory menus that, while not exclusively Mediterranean, reflect the influence of his Mediterranean upbringing in the southern Italian Adriatic port of Bari.
The festive season at the restaurant kicks off with the Season’s Splendor Luncheon, offered from December 20 to Boxing Day, where you can indulge in dishes like Boston lobster risotto – one of the chef’s standouts – and beef agnolotti (small, stuffed pasta pockets that originated in Piedmont) topped with freshly shaved truffles.

For a more elevated dining experience, a five-course dinner will treat you to Hokkaido scallops with Calvisius Royal caviar, Wagyu beef agnolotti with black truffle, and a delightful chestnut Mont Blanc to round things off. This Festive Culinary Journey is available from 19 to 26 of December.
The festivities at The Manor culminate with an equally exquisite New Year’s Eve dinner of delicacies from the sea – think Sicilian langoustine crowned with Aristocrat caviar and Spanish carabineros over a delicious red prawn risotto, and more.
If the idea of a cosy dinner at home sounds appealing (without the kitchen fuss), let the restaurant’s takeaway festive sets come to the rescue – you can’t go wrong with the traditional roast stuffed turkey with trimmings or the honey mustard baked Gammon ham.
Afternoon Tea and New Year’s Eve at The St. Regis Bar
Drawing inspiration from the House of Astor – picture rich wood panelling, plush seating, and Art Deco elements – The St. Regis Bar becomes the paramount gathering point over the holidays. and it offers carefully designed experiences for various occasions, starting with a time-honoured ritual for lovers of all things beauty.

Crafted by The St. Regis’ pastry team in collaboration with Parisian alchemist Guerlain, makers of high perfumery and cosmetics, an exclusive afternoon tea captures the senses with dainty savoury and sweet nibbles. Each reflects the character of a Guerlain signature scent, from the warm notes of the Cuir Beluga to the woodsy floralness of the Rose Barbare.
Among the experiences to be had at the property, perhaps none represents the brand’s taste for grand celebrations like the Art of Sabrage – a technique originating from the Napoleonic Wars that involves opening a bottle of champagne with a sword. Guests can try their hand at this swashbuckling ritual upon ordering a bottle, or let one of our skilled sabrage experts give it a go. Either way, it’s a bubbly moment worth capturing and sharing.
And of course, The St. Regis Bar is a destination that knows how to throw a party, so you can’t go wrong with its Countdown Extravaganza New Year’s Eve Celebration to ring in 2026. Live jazz, champagne and craft cocktails will make it a night to remember.
Lastly, with all the planning, gathering, and celebrating, it’s easy to lose track of sleep and find your social battery running low. Thankfully, there’s a remedy at the St. Regis Macao. Treat yourself or a loved one to a festive spa set or one of the luxurious treatments from Caroline’s Collection, ensuring you kickstart 2026 feeling your very best.
