Staying at Sofitel Macau at Ponte 16 was a fantastic experience, especially for travelers who value location and authenticity. The hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of the historic district—just a 520-meter walk from the iconic Ruins of St. Paul's, with Praça do Sé (Senado Square) right nearby. You can easily explore the old town on foot, enjoying the charm of colonial architecture, local cafes, and bustling streets without needing to rely on transportation.
