Langham Place was spectacular! My husband and I booked this hotel after learning that we would be having a very long layover in Xiamen. Check-in with Jess was a breeze and we were even upgraded to better room. Our room on the 25th floor was great! There were a couple scuff marks here and there which I thought didn't belong to a 5-star hotel but everything was very much in order. We had a little trouble communicating with staff at times as English isn't spoken throughout the hotel, but we found that all staff would happily whip out their phones and try to translate whatever they were trying to say. This made everything easier and I appreciate their effort! The pool was a fun treat for us and we spent a good hour swimming laps after visiting the gym in the morning. Don't forget you need a swim cap! If you had forgotten anything they had them conveniently for sale at a good price. Belinda assisted us later at the lunch buffet, which was delicious. There was plenty to choose from and a lot for new treats for us to try. Lastly, Lucas helped us with an easy early check-out. Lucas and the men at the information desk quickly set up a taxi for us to be taken to the airport. This was a big plus as we were nearing check-in time for our flight!
All-in-all my husband and I had such a great, even though short, time at Langham Place. We were sad that we only had a layover here and would have easily extended our stay otherwise.
