The Langham, Hong Kong

The Langham, Hong Kong is in Kowloon, near the bustling shopping district of Tsim Sha Tsui, with a plethora of shops, market stalls and shopping centres right on the doorstep.

With nearly 500 exquisite rooms and suites, you can choose from a selection of luxurious rooms and suites, with plush beds, bespoke mini-bars, Italian marble bathrooms and floor-to-ceiling windows with courtyard and city views.

If you're after even more space and luxury, opt for a top-end suite, decked out in delicate pastel tones in cream, silver and white, with handcrafted furnishings that feature sumptuous silk, alongside diamond-cut mirror panelling and crystal chandeliers.

There are several restaurants to choose from, including the 3-Michelin-starred and multi award-winning T'ang Court. This restaurant is the crown jewel of The Langham, and serves exceptional Cantonese cuisine in a setting inspired by the Tang Dynasty.

You can also enjoy fine international dishes, from steak and seafood at the Bostonian Seafood & Grill to gourmet burgers and sandwiches, as well as irresistible desserts, at the New York-style Main St. Deli.

As well as ensuring you are well fed, The Langham also makes your wellness a top priority. The Chuan Body + Soul is a state-of-the-art spa and health club that covers over 600 square metres, including a rooftop pool, and its holistic treatments are inspired by the Chinese philosophy of the five elements.

The health club offers the latest training equipment to help you achieve your personal fitness goals, and you can unwind on a poolside lounger or in the Jacuzzi, and enjoy a selection of refreshments, from organic salads and cereal bars to multivitamin jellies and cocktails.

If you can drag yourself away, explore the shopper's paradise of Tsim Sha Tsui, with everything from high-end boutiques to bazaars. Canton Road is especially popular, with over 700 shops (including the luxury department store Lane Crawford, where you will find big labels like Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana and Givenchy), as well as around 50 restaurants and several cinemas. The hotel is also just a five-minute walk to the historic Star Ferry, for the ten-minute crossing to Hong Kong Island.
