Hotel Central (Chinese: 新中央酒店) is an 11-storey-tall hotel on Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro in Sé, Macau, China. Historically it has also been known as President Hotel (Chinese:總統酒店). The building was initially 6-storey tall by the time of its construction in 1928, even then upon completion it was the tallest building in Macau. The extra floors were added in 1942. There were formerly casinos in the fifth and seventh floors of the building. It is also the first building in Macau with elevators.[1][2]
