Frommer's Review

This 16-story hotel, an affiliate of the historic Langham Hotel in London and Hong Kong's only member of The Leading Hotels of the World (more than half the hotel guests are from North America and Europe), is located a couple of blocks inland from the harbor, just a few minutes' walk from the Star Ferry and the huge Harbour City shopping complex, giving it a very convenient location. Its lobby, bathed in warm gold tones, exudes a classic Italian atmosphere, with chandeliers, marble floor, a hand-painted dome ceiling, and glass art by American artist Dale Chihuly. Its restaurants, which include a renowned Cantonese venue, an American deli, and a fun seafood restaurant, are well respected among the locals. Wireless Internet access is available in the lobby, restaurants, and even beside the rooftop pool. Contemporary rooms are small but comfortable, with marble bathrooms sporting separate showers and tubs, gold-plated fixtures, and mist-free mirrors. Bedside control panels allow guests to adjust air-conditioning levels, select a TV or radio program, call up messages or the hotel bill on the television screen, and switch on a "Do Not Disturb" light that automatically disconnects the door chime. As an added safety precaution, staff keys are programmed for specific times only, thereby barring anyone from entering rooms after a shift ends, and a printer records all hotel employee use, indicating when each key was used, where, and by whom. Unfortunately, none of its rooms have harbor views, though some of the more expensive "City View" rooms have glimpses of the harbor between buildings.

Facilities: 4 restaurants (Cantonese, seafood, international buffet, American deli); lounge; rooftop outdoor pool and Jacuzzi open year-round; health club (open 24 hr.); sauna; concierge; limousine service; business center (open 24 hr.); shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning; executive-level rooms; doctor on call.
