The Langham Hong Kong delivered solid luxury at an unbeatable location for under $90 per night out of pocket, though three Michelin stars don't guarantee three Michelin star service.
The Langham Hong Kong sits in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, one of the most convenient locations in Kowloon. Minutes from the MTR station and a quick subway ride to Central on Hong Kong Island.
This is a classic luxury hotel property. Grand marble lobby, Diptyque amenities, and a three Michelin star restaurant onsite. It's the kind of place that looks impressive on paper.
We stayed four nights using a clever booking strategy with Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts. Two back-to-back reservations under separate names to maximize property credits while minimizing out-of-pocket costs.
We were also there during Typhoon Ragasa, a Category 5 hurricane equivalent. That experience revealed some interesting gaps in what you'd expect from a luxury property.
Here's my complete review of The Langham Hong Kong, from the convenient location to the surprisingly affordable three Michelin star Peking Duck.
We booked a standard two twin bed room and were told we got upgraded to a higher floor. We ended up on the 12th floor.
The room was luxurious but rather basic. Just a bedroom and bathroom, nothing elaborate.
The bathroom featured a single sink, bathtub, and walk-in rainfall shower. Stocked with Diptyque amenities.
Two twin beds, a couch, and a desk. The room wasn't overly spacious but had everything we needed.
Luxurious without being over the top. There isn't much to report beyond that.
This property couldn't be more conveniently located in Kowloon/TST. Just a few minutes walk from the main TST MTR station, the location was unbeatable for the Kowloon side. A few minutes by subway from Central station on Hong Kong Island.
There was a gym on the top floor and a pool. The pool was closed during our stay due to inclement weather.
The men's locker room had a dry sauna.
The lobby was grand with marble flooring and elements throughout.
The service at this property was good, but not over the top like The Park Hyatt Kyoto.
Bellmen greeted you on arrival and offered to take bags but didn't insist. Sometimes we had to open the front door ourselves, other times doormen were waiting to hold it.
We were there during Typhoon Ragasa, a Category 5 hurricane equivalent. There was very limited proactive communication from the hotel on protocols and emergency preparedness plans.
When we asked, they mentioned they didn't have emergency preparedness plans and would evaluate things on a case-by-case basis. Not ideal during a major storm.
Besides that, everyone was friendly and the service was good. Just not overwhelming.
We used our $100 Fine Hotels & Resorts property credit at Tang Court, the hotel's three Michelin star restaurant.
We went all out and ordered the Peking Duck, prepared traditionally with crispy duck skin pancakes. They prepared the inner duck meat into fried rice.
Let me be clear: this was not three Michelin star service. The service was very good and nothing was wrong with it, but it wasn't fancy or refined.
The Peking Duck was delicious though. Some of the best I've ever had, especially for less than $20 out of pocket.
Breakfast was included with Fine Hotels and Resorts. It was subpar.
The eggs were very inconsistent and tasted like they never cleaned the pan. The pastries were mediocre at best.
Hard to complain when it's free though.
We booked The Langham Hong Kong for just $239.72 per night for four nights. Two nights split across two separate reservations.
We used the new semiannual $300 Fine Hotels & Resorts credit with the Amex Platinum card. We also booked back-to-back reservations under two separate people so we each got the $100 property credit.
Since I booked two nights and my companion booked the other two, we each paid $179.44 out of pocket for our two nights after the $300 FHR credit. That's not including the $100 property credit each of us received.
Total out of pocket for four nights at a luxury Hong Kong property with breakfast and dining credits: $358.88 split between two people.
The Langham Hong Kong is a solid luxury property in an unbeatable location. If you're staying in Kowloon, the TST location can't be beat for accessing both sides of Hong Kong.
The rooms were comfortable without being spectacular. Diptyque amenities, good beds, functional layouts. Everything you need without anything that wows.
The service was good but inconsistent. Friendly staff and competent bellmen, but also moments opening your own doors and concerning gaps in emergency preparedness during a major typhoon.
Tang Court's three Michelin stars deliver on food quality. That Peking Duck was genuinely delicious and worth every penny. But the service didn't match the star rating. Very good but not refined or fancy.
Breakfast was the weakest point. Inconsistent eggs and mediocre pastries don't meet luxury hotel standards, even when free.
The real win here is the booking strategy. Under $90 per person per night out of pocket for a luxury Hong Kong hotel with breakfast and dining credits is exceptional value. The Fine Hotels & Resorts benefits made this stay work.
The Langham Hong Kong won't blow you away like the Park Hyatt Kyoto, but it delivers competent luxury in a prime location at a price that's hard to argue with. Sometimes that's exactly what you need.
