Macau.- According to CBRE Securities, Andaz Macau, the second of the two new hotels in Phase 3 of the Galaxy Macau casino resort, is expected to open all of its 700 rooms by Chinese New Year in 2024.
The hotel is owned by Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd and was launched on September 15. It is directly connected to the Galaxy International Convention Center (GICC) and the 16,000-seat Galaxy Arena, which were both launched earlier this year.
