Grand Lisboa, Skyscraper and casino in Sé, Macau, China.
Grand Lisboa rises 261 meters (856 feet) into the sky with a modern glass and steel structure that opens like a lotus flower at its base. The upper floors taper into a slender tower, while the lower podium forms a rounded, cup-shaped silhouette.
The gaming floors opened their doors in February 2007, followed by the full opening of the hotel rooms in December 2008. The construction marked the expansion of the gambling industry in Macau after the city returned to China in 1999.
The name combines the Portuguese word for Lisbon with the city's casino tradition that has drawn gamblers from across the region since the mid-20th century. Visitors often notice the golden ornamental details and bright lighting on the exterior, which make the building look like a glowing sculpture after dark.
The building stands centrally in the Sé historic district, easily reachable from most hotels and landmarks on the peninsula. The main lobby and public areas are accessible around the clock, while age restrictions apply to the gaming sections.
The entrance area displays the Star of Stanley Ho, a 218-carat diamond that stands as the largest cushion-shaped internally flawless D-color diamond. Visitors can view this remarkable gemstone through protective glass without needing special clearance.

Macau fascinates with its contrasts. In a single day, you can walk from a Portuguese quarter with cobblestone streets to a hidden temple tucked behind a staircase, then to a hotel lit up like a movie set. The city mixes baroque church facades, grand casinos, and quiet gardens where tai chi...
