The Langham - Hong Kong

Had a chance to stay there and used the executive level facilities. there are 2 hotels with the name Langham around and this one is in Tsim Sha Tsui... not the one at Mongkok.
Staff here are all very friendly and helpful. I like the way the housekeeping staff turn down our room.
Room wise, I am always more particular about toilet, so I shall start off with the toilet... Let the photos do the talking :)
 
 
 
 
 
 
Only one question here, why is the panel to control the flap is outside facing the room and not facing inside the toilet, so that when I am at the bath tub I can choose to open or close to watch tv. Now that it is outside, if anyone wants to play prank, shuts off /open without permission for you, you wouldn't be able to control anything,
 
For the bed, it is 2 super single beds. Comfortable and super nice to sleep on. the control for the lights are also quite handy as they are located at the sides of both beds. and the little couch at the side gives it a nice feel. Flower arrangement is pretty too, makes the room so much brighter! :)
This hotel has a very English feel from the first time you step into the lobby. I kinda like the feeling of it and with the fake fireplace, I couldn't resist taking photos with it. there is also a business table beside the fireplace so that you can make conference calls. (for me, I used that table to eat) the other side of the fireplace is the minibar and the usual coffee machine which I so love! I guess I was too busy taking photos with the fireplace, I forgot to take the rest :)
 
 
This is an open air pool at the top floor, I went for a night swim at 10pm and I was hoping the water wasn't cold... And true enough, the water is warm and pleasant for me that night. I was there till the pool close at 11pm. There is a small Jacuzzi at the side as well. The view is really good from there, I love the feeling of being able to see the sky.
And I am down here to take a quick photo of the lobby area :) it's pretty spacious and welcoming.
 
Tried the breakfast at the lounge in the morning but I am a lil disappointed with the variety, I understand that the variety may be lesser, but really, when you step in, you would have expected more than what I saw...But of course, they also have a side menu on the table that you can order from and they cook it for you which is not bad...
 The feel of the this place is very classy and if you love a quiet breakfast, this is the place for you! They also have afternoon tea & evening cocktails at parts of the day for you to utilise :) I wasn't around in the hotel most of the time during the timings so I didn't get to try the tea and evening cocktails. But I would think that it will be nice to be seated in the atmosphere.
 
 
2nd day breakfast I decide to try the main dining area downstairs called 'The Food Gallery' and I totally love it. the food there are so pretty and they taste good too! I am so fascinated downstairs, but in contrast to club level, this is more crowded and noisier comes with it. Nonetheless, I still love the downstairs main one better or if not, they should actually have slightly more range of food upstairs.
