Thank you very much.

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.
Good to know. It's very cheap, only $206 USD per night!

LP is a hotel you will either love or hate, depending on your priorities, but it can be very good indeed.
Thanks for the info.
