Crown Macau now is putting down the finishing touches for the much anticipated soft opening to the public on May 9, 2007. They are opening on a trail basis as of April 28, 2007 and Grand Opening event has been planned for May 12, 2007. We understand, but that has not been confirmed, that the interior fit-out on the hotel rooms is still continuing and that about 70% of the rooms are ready for occupation.

The Crown Macau is being marketed as Macau’s first “six-star” hotel. I suppose this would be something like “three thumbs up,” as there is no official rating scale that goes past five stars (although Dubai is famous for its seven-star Burj al Arab), but you get the point — the hotel and casino is meant to attract the very top-end gamblers in the market. The drawback to the site is its relatively isolated location on the northern side of Taipa island, away from casinos on the Macau Peninsula and north of the future Cotai Strip. What this means is that the property is going to have to be that much better than the competition.

Melco PBL’s flagship City of Dreams project is slated for a late 2008 opening, though with a prime position on the Cotai Strip. The company also has a third project planned for a site on the Macau Peninsula.
