hard rock hotel, macau

I’m not sure Hemlock liked it too much, but I had a good time at the Hard Rock Hotel in Macau. Hemlock obviously writes a better review. So I’ll just post some photos.

So, top left, left to right, etc, we have:

The mugs Hemlock mentioned.
Round the back, a room that seems to go nowhere with big light fixture or something.
The foyer, from the R Bar.
Flea’s bass. Apparently. Super-clean as Hemlock points out.
The cinema seats at the Macau Tower. Awful. Do not go.
The only snacks available at the cinema – Blue Crisps.
The space-age seats on the free bus.
Wild neon lighting on the bus x 2.

Anyway, I liked it. Liked the vibe, music everywhere – G ‘n’ R, Bowie, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Oasis, Killers, Mungo Jerry, generic American rock, in two days I only heard one repeat tune. The taxi dude outside with the baton light thing was pretending it was a guitar. It did smell nice – “some sort of aromatherapy gizmo that infuses the shopping mall with a heady whiff of lavender“. The room was OK but the fridge was difficult to open, TV was good, iPod dock in the room, great pool, underwater speakers, rubbish food court, couldn’t find a proper coffee shop, the mall part is a bit small/weird. Didn’t check out the casino or The Bubble. But I will be back!

More pics later.
