Guide Review - Langham Place Hotel

When Langham Place announced it was opening a 5-star hotel in the Mongkok neighbourhood, most hoteliers thought it a joke - but five years on it's the Langham that's laughing.

Almost all of Hong Kong's four and five star hotels are congregated in three areas: Central, Tsim Sha Tsui and the Airport. These are the financial, tourist and communication centres of Hong Kong. However, they aren't necessarily the 'real' Hong Kong. The majority of the population live in jam-packed areas just like Mongkok, and part of the charm of Langham is that you have the 'real' Hong Kong right outside.

Surrounding the hotel are the famous markets of Hong Kong, as well as the busiest streets in the whole metropolis. The smell of hawker's food, cooking on the streets, and the heat from the masses of bodies, make it one of Hong Kong's most memorable experiences.The Langham's location means you can dip into all of this, while your 5-star retreat is never far away.

Inside the Langham you'll find a swish, business-like atmosphere, with plenty of clean lines and white space. Rooms look like something only James Bond could dream-up - filled with gadgets and gizmos. The hotel prides itself as being an industry leader in offering innovative guest room technology. All rooms come equipped with an internet protocol phone, which at the touch of the button lets you: get the weather forecast, send free SMS to friends abroad, and much more. In the suites and clubrooms you'll find an i-home device, allowing you to play music from your i-pod. In addition the whole hotel is wireless - you can even make your room booking through Skype.

The Hotel can also boast one of the best spas in the city and an award winning restaurant, Avenue.

Business class, stylish innovation, and all in Hong Kong's heartlands.
