The Artyzen Hotel brand, under gaming mogul Pansy Ho’s Shun Tak Group, opens the new Habitat Hengqin Zhuhai on Thursday, March 28th.
The group has initiated an opening campaign in the city of Zhuhai, which, according to the advertisement, offers RMB50 ($6.9) coupons for food and RMB9.9 ($1.4) for coffees.
The booking page linked within WeChat highlights that the Artyzen Habitat hotel is designed to help “explore Zhuhai’s coastal charm and Macau’s urban vibes at the heart of the Greater Bay Area”.
Artyzen Habitat has 230 rooms and is located next to the Hengqin border, which is only hundreds of meters from the Cotai strip, where the casinos are concentrated.
The hotel offers ten room types, which will cost between RMB600 ($83) and RMB800 ($111) per night.
Both Guangdong and Macau are discussing the possibilities of launching a multi-entrance visa for visitors in Macau. Currently, Chinese visitors entering Macau with a 7-day visa can only enter once, and hotel expenses are one of the reasons people have shorter stays.
Many industry experts have suggested in the past that a multi-entrance visa would be an alternative for people to stay longer in Macau, which would also be beneficial for Hengqin’s development.
Many international luxury hotel brands are already in or planning to enter, with groups such as the Hyatt Regency Hotel and Hilton Garden Inn already operating in the city for many years. Some self-branded hotels, such as Serensia Woods Hotel, Chimelong-branded Penguin Hotel, Circus Hotel, and Hengqin Bay Hotel are also operating in the area.
