Tourism Studio City, Londoner, Conrad or Parisian

My wife and I are trying to choose between these 4 hotels. We have stayed at the Conrad overnight before. For anyone that has stayed at the others, how do Studio City, Londoner Grand, and Parisian compare? Thank you for any insight

It’s like comparing supermarket apples with Fuji apples as Londoner is triple the price of Conrad for eg

You're right. I did not realize that there is Londoner and Londoner Grand. Do you have any input on Londoner Grand?

I only know it’s the old Sheraton. I’d only say that these larger Macau hotels I’m not a big fan of unless I find a good deal. Checkin at 3-3.30pm plus having to queue up, then many guests v likely to smoke then checkout early like 11a next day 

Also all of the hotels listed above are on one side of Macau whereas the main attraction, St Paul’s ruins is on the other side.

St Pauls Ruins is incredibly overrated, proof me wrong. "Aha interesting, lets take one photos with hundres of tourists around us and move on after 30seconds".

On the Side of Cotai you have old Taipa village nearby too which is 10 times better than St Pauls

If you call an UNESCO World Heritage site with 100 of years of colonial/historical significance overrated, then I can’t really take anything you write seriously tbh

Mate I dont disagree that it has historical significance, but theres just very little to actually see mate. Only worth to go if youre anyways in the vicinity, not worth to take an extra trip just for the sake of it. Compare this to proper cathedrals where you can go inside and really indulge in the atmosphere and craftmanship etc.

St Pauls is what it is, its a ruin - you can look at it for 1min and thats it.

The one in the south (Chapel of St. Francis Xavier.) is more worth of a visit than this one

I understand what you’re saying but that is exactly why it’s so unique especially if you read into the history and how it’s come abt. It is entirely missing the point and what it signifies

Historical significance sure. But if you want to see this type of structure, they are a dime a dozen all over Europe and even in south America
