It's Macao's year to shine.
IF YOU think countries like France and Italy boast the most five-star hotels and restaurants, you'd be wrong.
Macao sits on a pedestal, surpassing Paris and nearby Hong Kong for having the most five-star hotels and restaurants in the world.
This year's edition of Forbes Travel Guide officially named Macao as a world leader in the luxury hotel category with as many as 12, beating the French capital, its nearest rival, by two. London has nine and Hong Kong eight.
This year, the former Portuguese colony, now a part of China, celebrates the Year of Gastronomy.
Macao also has eight of the best spas in the world.
