Langham Place Hotel, Luxury hotel and skyscraper in Yau Tsim Mong District, Hong Kong.
Langham Place Hotel rises 42 floors above Kowloon's streets as part of a large commercial complex offering direct connections to shopping areas and offices. The building core merges hotel rooms, retail space, and business offices into a single integrated structure.
The hotel is part of the Langham Place project, a joint venture of Great Eagle Group and the Urban Renewal Authority that began in 1988 and cost HK$10 billion. Completed in 2004, it required demolishing several city blocks, including the old Bird Street at Hong Lok Street, known for its grassroots birdsellers. The hotel opened on 4 August 2004 and was rebranded as Cordis, Hong Kong on 26 August 2015.
The building sits within Mong Kok's busy shopping district, where street vendors and retail shops create a fast-paced commercial rhythm. Locals and visitors flow constantly through the ground-level passages, treating them as part of their daily shopping routes.
An indoor footbridge links the hotel directly to the Langham Place mall and Mong Kok MTR station, so guests can reach the hotel without walking at street level. The tower rises 170 metres over 42 floors, with the outdoor heated pool on the 42nd floor.
The hotel holds more than 1,500 pieces of contemporary Chinese art, including works by Wang Guangyi, Yue Minjun and Jiang Shuo. The collection is displayed in the public areas, so visitors can see it without staying overnight.
