Saying Mong Kok is not "lively" is like saying Times Square in NY is "quiet" because it is a pedestrian area. The Langham Place in Mong Kok is a very fine hotel in a location not usually associated with tourists, but certainly with locals... Five star physical plant and service, just not where you'd expect it to be.
The Langham in TST is not a luxury property, period. Fine hotel and the Tang Court restaurant there is excellent, but not for this forum.
