Karting Track Hotels

With its glitzy gambling, glamorous shows, and vibrant nightlife, Cotai is something of a playground for adults. And if burning rubber is your idea of a good time, then you’ll want to head to its Karting Track – also known as Macao Motorsports Club. Situated in the south of Cotai, the 1.2 kilometre track is designed to be as challenging as it is fun. Perfect for team building, it offers various race set-ups and prizes for winners.

Things to see

Once you’ve had your adrenaline fix, the nearby Cotai Strip boasts many more exciting lures. The Vegas-like drag glows with large casino resorts, including the Venice-themed Venetian Macao and the four-towered City of Dreams. Offering upscale hotels, designer shops, and international restaurants, the City of Dreams also boasts one of the world’s biggest casinos – providing gamblers with 420,000 square feet of ritzy gaming space. The shiny modern complex is also home to one of Cotai’s most impressive shows. The Dancing Water Theatre occupies a purpose-built 2000-seater venue, which features a colossal 3.7 million-gallon pool at its centre. Its 90-minute production tells the timeless love story of a stranger and a princess, with a talented cast of gymnasts, circus artists, divers, dancers, and actors. For more large-scale entertainment, the Cotai Arena at the Venetian Macao is the place to go. Providing 15,000 seats, it hosts everything from boxing and basketball matches, to starry music concerts.

Hotels in Karting Track

Situated a short way away from Cotai’s main drag, you’ll find no shortage of hotels near the Karting Track. Whilst there are several more ‘traditional’ hotels near by, most digs here come as grandiose casino resorts such as Broadway Hotel and Wynn Palace, brightly lit-up in true Vegas-style. Alongside their glittery gaming floors, the majority of them count on-site restaurants, bars, and nightclubs among their amenities, whilst some provide swimming pools and full-service spas too. Thanks to its American influence, the rooms here come in a particularly palatial style. Many feature plush designer décor, floor-to-ceiling views, WiFi, and large flat-screen televisions.

Where to stay

Whilst nearby Macau holds the title of Asia’s casino capital, up-and-coming Cotai certainly gives it a run for its money. Since the 5.2 square kilometre patch of land was reclaimed, billions of dollars have gone into its transformation, filling it with lavish resorts, shopping hotspots, and entertainment venues. The island however still maintains pockets of the past. Contrasting against Cotai’s futuristic skyline, Taipa Village’s colonial architecture reflects the region’s unique blend of Chinese and Portuguese culture. Among its narrow cobbled streets you’ll find traditional Chinese shophouses, petite temples, and the colourful Food Street. Also known as Rua do Cunha, its restaurants and stalls offer a multicultural feast for foodies.

How to get to Karting Track

Conveniently situated moments from Cotai’s core, Macau International Airport is the primary gateway to the ‘Las Vegas of Asia’. Whilst it serves destinations across Asia, those coming from further west may have to make a connecting flight from a better-linked airport – such as Singapore’s Changi or Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi. Once you’ve landed getting from Macau International to your hotel near the Karting Track should be easy. Taxis are in excellent supply, whilst the AP1 bus heads from the airport to various points about the island – including a stop near the Venetian Macao. Alternatively, some hotels near the Karting Track provide a pick-up service on request.
