THE LANGHAM, HONG KONG

Stayed here for three nights recently in HK. I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, but the reviews seemed to show it was a great place. It’s interesting, when I first arrived I was immediately impressed by the lobby, but then not so impressed by the room. I was expecting a great view of the harbor and a bit more of a spacious surrounding. So, at 3 in the morning I spoke with the manager and learned about the sky-rises that went up all around the hotel in the last few years. They were very apologetic about it all as we had just arrived from a long travel and were celebrating my dad’s retirement. The next day, I had a hand-written card from the manager asking for me to call the service desk and she came and met me at the gym. They not only gave us access to the Langham Club (more to come on that amazing pearl later) but left a bottle of champagne and a cake in our room! The Langham club was AMAZING. Tons of food that was incredibly fresh, great service, stellar selection of items. Breakfast, high-tea, and happy hour. Honestly, if we hadn’t wanted to try the restaurants in town we could have happily had every single meal here. Also, after being in the hotel really enjoyed the roof-top swimming pool and hot tub, great gym (second level with treadmills etc) and ideal location. 5 minute walk to the ferry terminal to get to Hong Kong, 5 minute walk to the subway, 5 minute walk to the massive Kowloon park where I went running (also bird sanctuary!). All in all, this hotel may not have the best views, but they have BY FAR the best management and the most amazing lounge. Would strongly recommend you stay here if you have the budget and get the lounge access.

Have been satying for 3 nights our room was on the executive floor with all it`s benefits. The hotel is conveniantely located in Kowloon close to shops, sights to see and excellent public transportation, walking distance from the ferry to get to the island. Our room was immaculately clean, spacious, great size of bed and high quality bedding. Our breakfast was served in the executive lounge, so was the afternoon tea and coctails, with great selection of international bites hot and cold as well. Staff was friendly and helpful. This hotel will be our choice in the future when we return to Hong Kong.

We stayed for three nights as a stop over to Australia. Cannot fault the hotel. The staff are exceptional. Polite, friendly and interested in making your stay as pleasant as possible. Room very spacious and comfortable. We had an executive room which allowed us access to the club lounge. We always take this option when we travel as it's convenient but we wish to commend the services in that area as they were outstanding. Much superior to many other hotels. Food on offer was of a very high standard. Well done to the whole team.

Just spent 4 nights at this stunning hotel. Staff professional, courteous and friendly, nothing is too much effort for them. We were made to feel very welcome. Everywhere is immaculately clean. There is a good choice of in house dining options including The Bostonian, a meat and seafood restaurant. The 3 Michelin starred Tang Court and a more relaxed (and rather cheaper) Main Street Deli. The Palm Court serving afternoon high tea (or simply a coffee with a choice of delicious pastries) complete with Wedgewood china and harpist is both indulgent and very relaxing after a morning of sightseeing. In the evening it is a lovely atmospheric place for a cocktail whilst being entertained by a pianist. Breakfast, served in the Food Gallery is in the form of a comprehensive buffet with options to suit all. We have stayed in many similar hotels but this is most certainly one of the best and we are already planning when we will return!

I have been to Hong Kong many times but this was my first stay at The Langham. I stayed one night in July with my wife and daughter on a stopover and we were immensely impressed with the level of service, attention to detail and overall luxury. The rooms were a generous size, spotlessly clean and contained all the amenities you could want. From my wife and daughter receiving a rose on arrival to the attention lavished on my daughter I would highly recommend this hotel for an upmarket Hong Kong experience.
