Hong Kong Travel Report
Virgin Atlantic & Langham Hotels
Earlier this month, I was invited to travel to Hong Kong to experience flying with Virgin Atlantic and staying with Langham Hotels.
It had been over 10 years since my last visit to Hong Kong, so it was great to see the new airport and also how much the city had developed. So much cleaner and much more cosmopolitan that I remember. There are still the very traditional parts of Hong Kong, but also the more modern too.
Sydney to Hong Kong – Upper Class
Hong Kong to Sydney – Economy class
Fabulous! What can I say …. When we got on board, we were personally taken to our seats and shown how to use it. Up, down, back, forward, table, light – and BED! Then a hot towel, amenities pack and a “Sleeper Suit” (pj’s) – all before pushing away from the gate. Upper Class has a bar area where you can stretch your legs, order a drink and chat with other passengers. On demand movies and even ice-cream during the flight. Upon arrival in Hong Kong, Upper Class passengers are given an Express card – meaning no queues when passing through immigration. Travelling in economy class on the way home was still a great experience. Seating configuration is 2-4-2, with the same on demand entertainment system and tasty meals. Service was still great and I even though I have sold Virgin Atlantic numerous times previously, I am confident that should you decide to travel with this airline you will have a great experience.
Langham Hotels
Only two nights in Hong Kong and they were spent at The Langham Hong Kong Hotel on Kowloon. This hotel is totally five star! The rooms were beautifully appointed and very spacious. There are no views from this hotel as it is located in the city, so all rooms face buildings. The little touches in the room made all the difference. We were even surprised with a “chocolate slipper” that was fully edible. The other hotel inspected was the Langham Place Mong Kok. Again impeccable! The hotel is located next door to a huge shopping mall and food court and the MRT is right at your doorstep. Those after the market experience, the hotel is located within walking distance from the Ladies Market and Temple Street Market. Both properties have pools and offer Club Lounge facilites.
