The Langham Hong Kong


Situated next to the "Park Avenue of Hong Kong," The Langham Hong Kong is surrounded by flagship stores of designer labels, Michelin-starred dining restaurants, and is an ideal hub central for business.


The hotel consists of 498 rooms and suites, all which are designed to provide guests with the highest level of comfort as well as a generous amount of space. The Langham goes as high as 16 floors of rooms and suites, 471 which are guest rooms, and 27 are private suites. In addition to their wide selection of rooms and suites, The Langham offers event spaces that can accommodate a variety of events from small to large business meetings, to gala dinners and wedding celebrations.


To top it all off, guests of The Langham are welcome to the hotel's rooftop, outdoor heated swimming pool to de-stress after their meetings or to relax and enjoy the tranquility after a long day.


The Langham is not a resort, but you won't want to leave the hotel when choosing where to go for dinner reservations since the hotel is home to a two Michelin-starred restaurant - the T'ang Court. The theme of this authentic Cantonese restaurant reflects the timelessness of China's Golden Age, the Tang Dynasty. You'll be able to fully experience the luxurious tastes of what people in the Golden Age enjoyed such as their Braised Garoupa Head and Brisket with Roasted Pork or the Sliced Garoupa with Deer tendons. It's no wonder why the US Food and Wine Magazine included this in its "Go list 2008," and why Travel & Leisure listed this restaurant as one of only ten restaurants worldwide on its annual Hot List of the World's 100 Fabulous Places and Things. The entire dining experience, from the food to the restaurant vibe, will take you back on an antique but luxurious Golden Age ride.

A luxury hotel that exceeds and deserves more tan five stars would not be complete without an afternoon tea. Start off your day with a high-end afternoon tea experience with Wedgwood at the Palm Court in The Langham's grand Lobby level.

A unique feature of The Langham is that the hotel is in close vicinity to several major tourist destinations that capture the past and present of Hong Kong.

The Seafront Promenade is the Avenue of Stars, where it pays tribute to several celebrities that helped shape Hong Kong as the "Hollywood of the East." The Seafront Promenade showcases the glamour of Hong Kong's film industry through commemorative plaques, celebrity handprints, descriptive milestones, movie memorabilia, and a life-size statue of the legendary Kung Fu action hero, Bruce Lee. Not only would you be able to place your hand against your favorite celebrity's handprints, but also enjoy a panoramic view of the city's skyline set against The Peak.

For those who want and like to splurge on shopping, the Harbour City houses three malls: the Ocean Terminal, Ocean Centre, and the Gateway Arcade. The Ocean Centre offers an array of the latest electronic gadgets whereas the Canton Road, which is just around the corner of these malls, is lined up of flagship stores of luxury fashion such as Louis Vuitton and Chanel. The Harbour City however, is not the only place where tourists go on a shopping splurge. The Ladies Market, Mong Kok, attracts a flock of tourists as well. The Ladies Market consists of over 100 stalls of bargain clothing, accessories and souvenirs that carry a huge amount of items on sale such as watches, cosmetics, bags, home furnishings, CDs, trinkets and more! This is a great place to practice your haggling skills (if you haven't perfected them already).

For a more relaxing experience towards the end of your stay, make sure to visit the Tai O Fishing Village, also known as the "Venice of Hong Kong." With just a small fee, cruise on a boat through a river of a community of fishermen who built their homes on stilts above the Lantau Island.

Hong Kong is home to a limitless number of attractions and The Langham will help you check off each place one by one as it is in the center of various destinations. By booking through classictravel.com, you will be entitled to receiving special and VIP amenities that are not available through other channels.

Finca Cortesin


Ever been to Spain? For those who have - and even for those who haven't - it's not rocket science that finding a luxuriously spacious feel of a home is not so easy. The Finca Cortesin Hotel Golf & Spa on the other hand, is ready to give you just that. Located right on the beaches between Marbella and Sotogrande, the Finca Cortesin Hotel Golf & Spa whisks you away to "A Paradise of Privacy" in their Mediterranean lifestyle-resort.


The Finca Cortesin consists of 67 suites: the Junior, Executive, Pool, the Cortesin, and the Private Villa. Every suite in the resort comes with a terrace and a private garden or swimming pool, with a view of the Mediterranean. Unlike the three suites, the Private Villa includes four suite bedrooms, a living room with a fireplace, dining room with a fully furnished kitchen equipped with the most advanced appliances, and marble bathrooms. The Private Villa is custom-made to make your stay at the Finca Cortesin just like home, but even better and more relaxing.

The dining restaurants within the resort are built on two concepts: "exclusivity and exceptional quality." They strive to cater their guests with innovative culinary experiences through its range of different themed-cuisine restaurants. The El Jardin de Lutz for example is a traditional Spanish cuisine with an interior of tall ceilings and Portuguese clay tiled and painted tiles, and an outdoor venue of a terrace with views to the Mediterranean, and gardens that are filled with 1,000 year-old olive trees. The Kabuki Raw is the hotel's signature restaurant, and is a world leader in Japanese cooking with a total of three Michelin starred-restaurants among the five that are currently open. The Kabuki cuisine is known for its orthodox Japanese dishes with the use of prime raw materials and simplicity. One of the perks for the Kabuki Raw is that guests are welcome to watch the chef at work in the kitchen as he is preparing their food.


Honestly, this is what you've been waiting for. The Finca Cortesin's Championship Golf Course opened in early 2007, one of Europe's longest layouts designed by Cabell Robinson. The Finca Cortesin Golf Course has wonderful views of the horizon with 18 scenic holes. In addition to its breathtaking landscape, the Golf Course is topped with excellent service both from the equipment available such as the buggy for transportation through the course, and the helpful and encouraging staff right by your side. Ranked in the top ten golf courses in Spain by Golf Digest Magazine in 2012, the Finca Cortesin Golf Course offers three different memberships for any and all golf lovers: Individual Membership, Family Membership, Corporate Membership, and the "Discover Cortesin" Membership (a trial period of two years).
