Get ready for take-off! Announcing Forbes Travel Guide's Inaugural Verified Air Travel Awards. 
Hotelier Steve Wynn brings his fantastical style to the Cotai Strip in Macau with Wynn Palace. The appropriately named hotel makes you feel like royalty — from the extra-wide corridors, high ceilings and mirrored walls to an incredible art collection and imaginative culinary experiences.
Inspired by flowers, the design pays tribute to petals of all shapes and sizes. Look for details in the wallpaper and carpets, as well as elaborate floral displays, each of which is re-created using tens of thousands of live flowers.
When it comes to entertainment, the star of the show is the eight-acre Performance Lake, which springs to life every 20 to 30 minutes. Best viewed at night, the choreographed light and water show features 5,505 multi-colored beams that shoot into the sky for an elaborate display. Adding to the experience, Wynn Palace erected a SkyCab gondola (where you can view the show) to circle the lake.
The Macau hotel also doubles as an art gallery, with 18th-century tapestries here and Pop Art sculptures there — a feast for the eyes around every corner. The jewel in the crown is a show-stopping quartet of Buccleuch vases, from the Qing Dynasty, worth about $12.7 million.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Wynn resort without an excellent array of culinary experiences. Wynn Palace is home to 14 cafés and restaurants — all with imaginative interior designs that transport you to exotic new worlds.
