The entrance to the Sofitel Macau is impressive, all glittering lights and mirrors. I was excited to see my room and wasn't disappointed when I turned the key. A panorama of windows with an amazing view of the decadent pool, the causeway, and the city all stretched out before me is the first thing I see. A giant bed and sleek, architecturally inspired furnishings awaited. The bathroom was impressive with a separate tub, shower, water closet, and sink area. It was a shame I wasn't traveling with a loved one in tow. I was a bit surprised not to find a dresser. But there was an ample size closet and a credenza of sorts, where things could be tucked away. I was excited to find a comfy desk and chair as well as a snazzy reading chair and ottoman. No wireless, sadly. But for about twenty bucks a day, you can plug in to their network from your room. But who wants to be working anyway when Macau beckons.
