If you feel like a lazy night in, you can choose from the hotel's huge DVD lending library; for something livelier, the on-site Backyard restaurant hosts weekend-night alfresco barbecues under fairy-lit mango trees.
Travel + Leisure "Since it opened in March 2005, the glass-and-steel Langham Place, designed by the same team behind Tokyo's Roppongi Hills complex, has quietly become the city's hidden gem." Full review
Star Service "The Langham Place Hotel Hong Kong is unique, as it's located in Mongkok on Kowloon, not on Hong Kong Island or huddled around The Peninsula Hong Kong in Kowloon's upscale Tsim Sha Tsui neighborhood." Full review

The hotel has exceptional dim sum at Ming Court (be sure to ask for the XO sauce, a uniquely blended, spicy Cantonese seafood sauce) and a Japanese robata-style restaurant, Tokoro, that's always a crowd pleaser.
Lonely Planet "Peering out from one of the rooms of this colossal tower hotel, you’d never suspect for a moment that you were in Mong Kok. It’s a triumph for the district." Full review
Jetsetter "The Langham Place Hong Kong rises 42 stories over the delightfully frenzied streets of Kowloon, embracing the city’s modern enchantment and East-meets-West excitement." Full review
Gayot "Stylish guest rooms and suites across 42 floors on the Kowloon Peninsula."
Condé Nast Traveler "Directly connected to the Langham Place Mall in Kowloon, this glass and steel 42-story tower has a location that "feels like the real Hong Kong."" Full review
