This
hotel
is
a
Hong
Kong
tradition
and
extremely
popular
with
(wealthy)
locals
as
a
destination
for
supper
or
dim
sum
prior
to
a
night
out
(e.g.
the
nearby
Cultural
Centre/classical
music)
shopping/
movies
/
the
waterfront.
There
is
an
authentic
British
pastry
kitchen
in
the
basement
that
serves
all
of
the
restaurants
and
the
room
service....the
cream,
cottled
cream,
and
whipped
cream
pastries
and
cakes
are
always
fresh.
One
of
the
must-haves
is
the
white
strawberry
cakes
(with
white
cream)
when
they
are
in
season....red
strawberry
shortcake
out
of
season.
There
is
a
tea
blend
called
'Langham
Blend'
available
that
is
first
tips
Darjeeling
(Wedgwood/Silver
service),
so
the
tea
sets
and
cakes
are
definitely
above
what
is
available
at
either
the
Mandarin
or
The
Peninsula.
No
question.
In
terms
of
decor
and
ambience,
the
hotel
deserves
a
bit
of
credit
for
trying
to
do
something
different;
there
is
Contemporary
Chinese
Art
throughout
and
then
there
is
caramel
marble
in
an
intricate
parquet
(throughout
the
hotel).
The
rooftop
pool
was
just
recently
refurbished
and
they
are
very
loose
/
free
with
the
customers.
No
one
will
interfere
with
you....you
can
order
from
room
service
poolside
if
you
wish...the
pool
and
hot
tub
(believe
it
or
not)
have
a
view.
This
is
because
this
part
of
TST
near
the
Star
Ferry
is
low
rise.//
All
of
this
to
say:
if
you
have
some
money
to
spend
and
you
want
to
see
authentic
Kowloon,
you
want
to
be
surrounded
by
glitz
and
Michelin-starred
restaurants,
you
want
to
catch
a
glimpse
of
a
Cantopop
star...yet
you
want
ease
during
your
stay
(
staff
not
up
in
your
business,
friendly,
fast
service)...in
a
full-service
5
star
hotel
that
even
has
a
spa...then
you
should
stay
here.
It's
really
easy
to
get
in
and
out
of
the
hotel,
too...there
are
not
multiple
elevators
or
long
waits
or
heavy
security.
It
just
takes
a
few
seconds
to
get
to
the
room.
For
all
these
reasons,
this
hotel
is
pure
relaxation
and
fun,
with
a
location
next
to
Tiffany,
Bulgari,
West
Kowloon,
etc.
And
it's
really
not
that
big.
It
has
a
boutique
hotel
feel
to
it.
I
hope
this
hotel
just
stays
the
same
forever.
