Álvaro Siza Vieira, one of Portugal’s most recognized architects, will visit Macau in June or July, a source from the Secretariat for Social Affairs and Culture told Radio Macau. In August 2015 it was announced that Siza Vieira had accepted an invitation to revamp the Hotel Estoril. The architect was supposed to visit Macau in October 2015, but that visit never happened. Now it is being announced that Siza Vieira will rejoin the project and will collaborate with the government to design the building that could replace the Hotel Estoril. The project had been halted pending the eventual classification of the former Hotel Estoril, which is located in Tap Seac Square.
