The hotel was named the Excelsior when it was first opened back in 1984. It became the Oriental Hotel and subsequently the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.[2] The hotel was rebuilt replacing an earlier hotel and was opened on 29 June 2010.[3] It is described by Lonely Planet as a "refreshing alternative" to the many casino hotels of the city.[4] The 435 rooms are decorated with Portuguese fabrics and teakwood furnishings.[5] It is mentioned that the hotel is now often referred to as the Grand Lapa after a "sale of 50% of its interests to the Sociedade de Turismo e Diversoes de Macau, or STDM".[6] The hotel was fully purchased in 2009 by part owner Stanley Ho and was renamed the Grand Lapa Hotel, Macau ahead of the completion of current Mandarin Oriental Macau Hotel and serviced apartments in 2010.[2] The hotel was operated by the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group until January 31, 2014.[7]
