Cordis Hotel

Part of the mixed-use complex, Langham Place, in Mongkok, Langham Place Hotel is situated behind the office and commercial block along Shanghai Street. The 600-room hotel tower sits on top of a podium that accommodates the hotel front of house areas as well as the government, institutional, and community facilities; and at ground level, the mini-bus terminus and a public open space.

Given the varied requirements of the different uses in the podium, the hotel drop-off enjoys the public open space as its forecourt. Hotel guests and visitors enter into a transfer lobby that takes them to the main lobby at the fourth level. Beside the double-height lobby and registration area is the coffee shop, where diners could enjoy alfresco dining on the landscaped podium roof. The lobby is connected to the office, commercial block opposite through the footbridge into the atrium. A glass feature staircase and glass-encased observation lifts take guests to the various levels of restaurants and ballroom at the base of the tower. The hotel offices and back of house are sandwiched between the hotel room floors and the front of house levels, while the plant rooms are in the basement.

There are mainly two categories of room modules in the hotel tower. The standard modules occupy the lower levels while the longer modules, which show up in the hotel elevation as a projection are the executive rooms of the hotel. The top three floors are occupied by hotel spa facilities, the open pool at the roof deck and the banqueting facility immediately next to it.
