This week, I visited our luxurious
The Langham, Shenzhen which had opened last November. It is really
coming together well as the final touches have been made to the hotel. On every turn,
there are unique selling features....from the double height Palm Court, to the
very elegant meeting facilities, to the high-ceilinged Duke's bar and
restaurant.

Making the most of the natural light, there's a
double-height Club Lounge and on the hotel's top floor, the Star Room with the adjoining
VIP duplex suites connected by well-lit staircases definitely generate the desired wow effect.

Over 40 per cent of the room inventory is 62
square metres and above so we are at the top of the market in that important aspect. This is our first purpose-built The Langham property and I must say we have the
best hotel in Shenzhen; one that exudes true European elegance.

For those of you that don’t know Shenzhen well, it is a sizable city economy with annual GDP of US$208 billion, which is already 80 per cent the size of Hong Kong or Singapore and no doubt one day will be even bigger. We are truly fortunate to be a part of this growing dynamic city with such an excellent hotel.

So if you are coming to Hong Kong, I would highly recommend you spend some time to travel to
Shenzhen which is just an hour away. Have a look at this beautiful hotel and maybe stay for
a relaxing weekend getaway. Sven and his team have done a great job opening the hotel and it is
already on top of some of our Guest Service Ratings as the colleagues in this
hotel, on every turn, are there to make your stay a memorable one.
