It opened as Crown Macau on May 12, 2007.[2] It was renamed Altira Macau on April 27, 2009, prior to the June opening of the Crown Towers Macau by Melco. Catering to clientele from Asia,[2] management of Altira Macau operated as a partnership until May 2017, when Melco International acquired a $1.16 billion controlling interest in Crown Resorts. Melco Crown Entertainment was then renamed Melco Resorts & Entertainment.[1] The resort closed for 15 days in February 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.[6]
