LANGHAM PLACE HOTEL

Located on Shanghai Street in Mongkok, an area steeped in romance and history, Langham Place offers the vibrancy and buzz of local culture like no hotel. Langham Place Mongkok is within walking distance to popular tourist spots like the Ladies Market, Goldfish Street and the Flower Market at Prince Edward. There's a shiny new mall attached to the hotel and the MTR is right at The Langham Place's doorstep.

A unique feature of Langham Place in Mongkok is its massive contemporary art collection. One magazine described the hotel as "an art gallery masquerading as a hotel". There are so many paintings, sculptures and photographs created by prominent artists that they will soon be offering I-pods in the hotel for a guided sound tour of the stunning artworks.

Further amenities include the extensive hotel gym which has amazing urban city views and the resident spa, The Chuan, which has previously been voted the best man's spa. There's also a large glass-roofed swimming pool which is one of the nicest in Kowloon. The hotel houses Ming Court, a 2 Michelin star Cantonese restaurant, and Tokoro, a deliciously groovy Japanese restaurant. There are plans to recreate the outdoor bar area into a modern lounge where people can come for brunch.

Langham Hotel has the best rate in town for a 5-star hotel. A Standard room starts at only $1300!
