Hotel Beverly Plaza

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest with you – Hotel Beverly Plaza isn’t going to blow you away with Instagram-worthy lobbies or rooftop infinity pools, but there’s something really solid about this place that keeps me coming back to Macau. It sits right on Avenida do Dr. Rodrigo Rodrigues, which honestly sounds more intimidating than it is – locals just call it the main strip through the newer part of town. The location is actually pretty smart if you know Macau at all, because you’re close enough to the action without being stuck in the casino chaos that can get overwhelming after a day or two.

What I really appreciate about Beverly Plaza is that it feels like a proper hotel, you know? The kind where the front desk staff actually remembers your name by the second day, and the housekeeping team doesn’t just throw fresh towels on the bed and call it done. The rooms are what you’d expect from a solid 4-star – nothing fancy, but the beds are comfortable (and I’m pretty picky about mattresses), the AC works without sounding like a helicopter, and there’s enough space to actually unpack if you’re staying more than a couple nights. The bathrooms are decent sized too, which honestly can be hit or miss in Macau hotels. I mean, the decor isn’t going to win any design awards – it’s got that sort of neutral business hotel vibe – but everything feels clean and well-maintained.

Here’s the thing that really sold me on this place: the staff genuinely seems to care about helping you figure out Macau, especially if you’re not just here to gamble your savings away. The concierge (there’s this one guy, David, who’s been there forever) actually gave me directions to some local dim sum spots that weren’t tourist traps, and when I mentioned I wanted to see the historical side of the city, he drew me a little walking route on a napkin. You don’t get that everywhere. The neighborhood itself is pretty walkable – there’s a decent café about two blocks down that opens early if you need real coffee, and you can catch buses to the old Portuguese quarter without too much hassle. Parking can be a bit of a pain during peak season, but the hotel has a small garage that usually has space if you don’t mind paying the daily fee. The 7.5 rating makes sense to me – it’s not perfect, but it delivers on what it promises without any nasty surprises. If you’re looking for a reliable base in Macau that won’t eat up half your travel budget, Beverly Plaza does the job really well.
