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.
