Maqo is a fresh take on a lifestyle hotel brand, resonating with guests who appreciate blended spaces. The brand's approach is based around the art of selection where “editors” meticulously refine possibilities to arrive at crafted and “edited” offerings to provoke, inspire, and energise its guests and deliver unexpected treats. Part of the Wharf Hotels portfolio, Maqo is a member of the GHA DISCOVERY global loyalty programme, offering members exclusive rates, enhanced recognition and rewards across a worldwide collection of 50+ independent hotel brands in 100 countries.

Maqo Changsha, the brand’s first property, opened in November 2023 in Changsha, China.

Maqo is a premium lifestyle brand.

Maqo is a curated way of living. Guided by the belief that “more is not better, only better is better”, Maqo pares back the excess of traditional luxury to uncover a bold, edgy spirit. Shaped by Editors — creative professionals who refine every detail, from collaborations to food, drink and amenities—everything is deliberate and expressive. At the core is The LAB, a dynamic co-working hub animated by ever-changing pop-ups that spark connection and energy throughout the day. Through E.D.I.T. (Eat, Drink, Indulge Together), Maqo replaces predictable dining with provocative, locally inspired flavours. A lifestyle crafted for those who choose authenticity over conventional opulence.

Maqo is owned and managed by Wharf Hotels, a Hong Kong SAR‑based hospitality group.

Maqo’s guest experience is anchored in the belief that "more is not better; only better is better". It is conceived as an "edited" rather than "abundant" experience, where every touchpoint is meticulously selected by staff known as "Editors". The public spaces are highly visual and photogenic, featuring whimsical installations and a bold, colour palette. The open-plan guestrooms, offering high-tech conveniences like wireless charging docks and smart blinds facilitate a seamless transition between work and play.
