Chelsea Garden

by Sands Corporation

Shortlisted: Restaurant - Asia Pacific Award

The International Hotel & Property Awards 2025

Designed by Sands Corporation, Chelsea Garden captures the vibrant essence of Covent Garden, bringing a dynamic culinary destination to life within The Londoner Macao. Positioned just off the energetic main gaming floor, with direct access from the retail spine, this all-day dining venue draws architectural and design cues from London’s Soho, the West End, and the original Covent Garden piazzas. The design reflects Covent Garden’s iconic green iron and glass structure, reimagined here as a series of lively action kitchens. These stylised spaces echo the nostalgic charm of Hong Kong cafés while serving a variety of Chinese cuisines, all set against dining areas that retain the London-inspired theme.

Sands Corporation’s key challenge was to create a space that fosters social interaction and captures the artistic spirit of Covent Garden. This was achieved through the clever use of varied seating styles, eclectic furniture, and dynamic floor finishes that zone the space and evoke a market-like experience. To the south, an outdoor dining area, framed by hedgerows and vibrant flowers, enhances the al fresco ambience. Mobile flower carts, inspired by Covent Garden’s market feel, display fresh blooms while supporting operations and reinforcing the London square feel.

The interiors pay homage to Covent Garden’s ironwork and the neo-classical elements of London’s architectural fabric, blending seamlessly with the adjacent casino’s design. Colourful murals by a Chinese-British artist, depicting London neighbourhoods, and carefully chosen accessories, add a vibrant layer, celebrating the fusion of British tradition and contemporary flair that defines The Londoner Macao.
