The former Mandarin Oriental hotel in Macau will be re-named the Grand Lapa Hotel, effective 1 August 2009. This follows the recent sale by Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group of its 50% interest in the property to Sociedade de Turismo e Diversoes de Macau S. A. (�STDM�), which was completed in June 2009. The Group�s partner in the hotel, Shun Tak Holdings Limited, has also sold its 50% equity interest in the property to STDM. The Group will continue to manage and market the hotel for a period of up to two years.

The Grand Lapa Hotel will provide elegant hospitality in traditional Macanese style. The hotel features 416 well-appointed guestrooms and suites as well as comprehensive resort and wellness facilities. The hotel�s restaurants and bars provide guests with a variety of cuisines from traditional Cantonese to authentic Macanese.

�We look forward to working with STDM on establishing the new identity of this well known Macau landmark,� said Michael Ziemer, General Manager.
