MGM Honored with Eight Accolades in the Tatler Best Hong Kong and Macau Award 2026

MGM proudly celebrates earning eight prestigious accolades at the Tatler Best Hong Kong and Macau Awards 2026. Among the highlights, MGM COTAI has been named the “Best 10 Hotels in Macau”, underscoring its strong recognition within the industry. The refined Lingnan cuisine restaurant Imperial Court and innovative Asian cuisine restaurant Aji have both been selected for the “Tatler Best 20 Restaurants in Macau”. Bar Patuá, which blends Macau’s unique heritage with contemporary aesthetics, together with the elegant French-inspired ABA Bar, have both been named “Tatler Best 20 Bars in Macau”. At the same time, Five Foot Road has been honored with the “Tatler Best Spotlight” recognition. Meanwhile, Andy Tam, Assistant Director of Beverage at MGM, has been named “Best Sommelier in Macau”, while Executive Sous Chef Pan Sihui from Aji is named as the “Rising Star of Macau” by Tatler. 

Presented by a globally esteemed media in luxury lifestyle, the awards honor the finest restaurants, bars, and hotels across Hong Kong and Macau, alongside the coveted Best-in-Class titles across multiple categories—recognizing exceptional excellence in the realms of hospitality and culinary artistry.

Finesse in Hospitality

Designed as the “jewelry box”, MGM COTAI features its refined elegance and artistic sensibility. The hotel features approximately 1,400 rooms and suites blending elegance and comfort, complementing with multipurpose meeting venues, five-star spa, retail and a diverse portfolio of award-winning dining. Its signature villas — The Mansion, the groundbreaking resident show “Macau 2049”, and immersive art-led experiences redefine luxury hospitality.

Exceptional Dining Experiences

Award-winning Aji delivers a refined take on Asian cuisine, showcasing bold flavors and premium ingredients under the directions of MGM COTAI’s Executive Sous Chef Pan Sihui. The restaurant presents innovative, cross-cultural culinary excellence.

Imperial Court brings the essence of traditional Lingnan cuisine to life with contemporary reinterpretations. Lingnan cuisine is characterized by the culinary traditions and flavors that encompass general regions of Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Hong Kong, and Macau, as well as flavors from Chaozhou and Hakka. The essence of Lingnan culinary culture is formed by seasonality, balanced seasoning and focus on the original flavors of the ingredients.

Bar Patuá pays tribute to Macau’s rich cultural heritage, taking its name from a nearly forgotten local dialect. Each cocktail tells a story inspired by travel and cultural exchange, reflecting the distinct ambiance of different areas within the bar, and creating a narrative-driven drinking experience.

ABA Bar revives the elegance of 1930s with high-backed seating, satin sofas and classic checkerboard flooring, evoking the charm of a French brasserie. Its beverage menu features a refined selection of champagne, rare spirits and signature cocktails, striking a perfect balance between heritage and modern luxury.

In addition, Five Foot Road recreates the essence of Sichuan cuisine, offering a multi-sensory journey that brings the authentic spirit of Chengdu to Macau.

With nearly 20 years of experience across Macau and Hong Kong, Andy Tam is a highly respected wine and spirits expert, holding multiple professional certifications and industry awards. As a key member of the beverage team, he oversees the wine and beverage programs across nearly 20 restaurants at MGM COTAI and MGM MACAU, working closely with chefs and service teams to ensure each pairing enhances the cuisine and delivers a rich, memorable dining experience.

We warmly invite all to MGM to indulge in masterfully crafted cuisine and enjoy a truly luxurious and one-of-a-kind dining experience. For reservations and inquiries, please contact (853) 8802 3888.
