Daytime Over the Chung Yeung Holiday - Doors at Noon

A marble room with a window at The Excellent Sauna

Chung Yeung Festival falls on Sunday 18 October 2026, with the Macau public holiday observed on Monday 19 October. The festival is traditionally spent climbing and out of doors, which tends to fill the daylight hours and leave the evening committed elsewhere. Most Macau venues only come alive after dark; The Excellent Sauna opens its doors at midday — among the earliest in the territory. It sounds like a small thing, and for a traveller on a compressed schedule it is real freedom.

Use one: the afternoon recharge

Arrive after lunch, bathe, take a massage, sleep a while, and reach the evening genuinely restored. Daytime traffic is unhurried, with room to spare in both the baths and the lounges.

Use two: avoiding the peak

For anyone who dislikes waiting, the daytime rarely involves any. As of September 2026 the entry-level Authentic Wellness Massage is MOP 1,988 for 90 minutes — the same menu, a quieter hour.

Use three: the last stop before departure

Ahead of an afternoon flight or ferry: check out in the morning, arrive at midday, and leave washed and put together. Luggage fits the lockers, and from the Grand Emperor Hotel in the city centre a car reaches the Border Gate, the piers or the airport within half an hour.

Hours at a glance

  • Opens — 12:00 daily
  • Closes — 04:00; no overnight stay, with the rest area open until closing
  • Peak — evenings; take the daytime for quiet
  • The bill — as of September 2026, the service price already includes the 5% service charge and 5% tourism tax, with nothing added at the till

What a daytime visit involves

The Excellent Sauna occupies the main building of the Grand Emperor Hotel in central Macau — easy to find, and easy to arrange on the spur of the moment. As of September 2026, booking through this site brings a waived entrance fee, a complimentary private transfer anywhere in Macau, and two complimentary add-on services. It is the long-established venue among the six, with service that has stayed consistent for years and a good number of returning guests; for anyone who would rather not gamble on somewhere untested, this is the low-effort choice.

Common questions

Is the full menu available in the daytime? Every tier as normal; see the prices page.

Is there food at midday? Yes — in-house dining runs from opening and, as of August 2026, is included in what you spend inside.

May I stay until the small hours? Yes, until the 04:00 close.

Do hours change over the holiday? The Excellent Sauna trades 12:00 to 04:00 daily, public holidays included.

The house also holds several themed rooms — a DJ room, an office, a cinema, a hospital, Japanese-style and cosplay themes — available as an upgrade on the main menu. All arrangements follow The Excellent Sauna’s latest published information, verified with you item by item before you book.
