The hotel opened in 1984 as the Excelsior and was later renamed the Oriental Hotel and then the Mandarin Oriental, Macau.[2][3] The hotel was 50% owned by Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group and 50% owned by Stanley Ho's Shun Tak Holdings[4] before being fully purchased in 2009 by another of Ho's companies, Sociedade de Turismo e Diversões de Macau.[2][5]

The hotel was renamed the Grand Lapa Macau on August 1st, 2009,[6] a year prior to the opening of the new Mandarin Oriental, Macau in One Central. Despite the renaming, the Grand Lapa continued to be operated by Mandarin Oriental through January 2014.[7]

The 435 rooms are decorated with Portuguese fabrics and teakwood furnishings.[8][6]
