Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees
What does ""We Paid"" mean?
Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.
Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.
When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.
We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.
We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.
Five-Star These properties deliver an outstanding experience and consistently offer a highly customized level of service.
Four-Star These are exceptional properties, offering high levels of service and quality of facility to match.
Recommended These are excellent properties with consistently good service and facilities.

Our Inspector's Highlights
Take a gondola ride through the Shoppes at Venetian and gaze up at the blue sky-painted ceiling, complete with wisps of white clouds, or get some fresh air aboard a gondola in the outdoor lagoon.
With multiple Chinese restaurant options, not to mention Western and other types of Asian cuisine, there are more than enough top-notch eateries to visit during your stay at this Macau hotel. Try Jiangnan fare at Jiang Nan by Jereme Leung, Japanese at Hiro by Hiroshi Kagata and Cantonese at Pin Yue Xuan.
With more than 600 shops, including The Shoppes at Four Seasons next door, there is sure to be something that catches your eye. Did we mention everything was duty free?
When you’re in one of the largest casinos in the world, it makes sense to give it a try. Even if you’re not a gambler, a few minutes on the slot machines or just strolling the floors is an experience in itself.
Though it has 3,000 rooms, the hotel rooms themselves are surprisingly noise-free, making it easy to get a good night’s rest.
Things to Know
This hotel is very easy to get lost in, so when reception hands you a map, hold on to it. If you misplace yours, simply ask the concierge for another one.
Visitors beware that the West Lobby is extremely crowded with people, so if you want to get a taxi quickly, exit to the Main Lobby and the line will be much shorter.
For those craving an American caffeine fix, there is a Starbucks located in the West Lobby of the hotel.
The Rooms
The large hotel boasts seven types of opulent rooms offering modern luxuries.
Finished in golds and blues, the canopy-style headboards on the king-sized beds offer a rich and romantic touch.
The bathrooms at The Venetian Macao are made of Italian white marble and are very spacious and luxurious with deep sunken tubs, large sinks with gold faucets and a separate shower and water closet.
All rooms come with a fully stocked mini-bar, which includes snacks like Pringles, roasted nuts and chocolates, and mini Jack Daniels for an impromptu in-room cocktail.
