"For many guests, a long list of amenities makes up for an isolated-from-action locale: most of the large, comfortable, contemporary rooms have harbor views."

"The 554-room Harbour Grand is slightly removed from the main attractions in Kowloon. However, many choose to stay here precisely because it isn't in the center of the hustle and bustle." Full review

"This shimmering glass structure is right on the waterfront and offers superb views across Victoria Harbour."

"Although it is not in the thick of the action, this hotel is close enough to reach Hong Kong Island by Star Ferry (a pier is close by) or taxi within 20 minutes." Full review

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.

"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

"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.

"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
