Its brand ambassador David Beckham was in the city for the occasion, while guests from all over the Tatlersphere-including VIPs based in Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, mainland China and Hong Kong-mingled with the star and enjoy the incredible offerings at the new hotel.
The 72-hour extravaganza from May 23 to 25 kicked off at The Bar at The Residence-the exclusive club at The Londoner Macao-which saw Hong Kong's Eleanor Lam hobnobbing with fellow guests like Terri Kwan, Marion Caunter and Colin Seah, who flew in for the week.
A welcome dinner at Huaiyang Garden followed. It featured dishes curated by master chef Zhou Xiaoyan, who is affectionately known to his followers as the Godfather of Huaiyang cuisine. Seated in a tranquil space modelled after ancient Chinese gardens, the A-listers enjoyed authentic Huaiyang delicacies.
The next day, after an excellent night's sleep, members of the Tatler community were invited to lunch at Churchill's Table. The restaurant is named after the late British prime minister and noted gourmand, with decor inspired by classic food halls inside London department stores.
Then came the moment everyone was waiting for: a fireside chat and meet-and-greet with David Beckham, hosted exclusively for Tatler guests. The intimate affair took place at the hotel's David Beckham Suite, which the superstar curated in collaboration with the award-winning design house David Collins Studio. There are personal touches and homages to Beckham's career at every turn: snaps of Victoria Beckham, taken by the Beckhams' son Brooklyn, decorate the walls, while a football-inspired chandelier hangs in one of the sprawling bathrooms.
Jay Khan, who is behind Asia's 50 Best Bars 2021 and 2022 winner Coa, was on hand to make cocktails for guests. The cocktail whiz impressed the VIPs, especially Beckham, who sipped on one of Khan's signature mezcal creations.
