Post Langham Place Xiamen (China) Review

Here's my TA review:

I've experienced the Langham treatment at the only other property which I've ever stayed at so far and that was Langham Xintiandi, Shanghai. This property did not disappoint. The hotel was only 3 months old when I stayed there. I had 2 separate stays here while in Xiamen and used their opening offer for 1865 members. Part of the offer was complimentary airport shuttle service.

After arriving at Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport, a young associate had a sign with my name waiting at the arrival gate and proceeded to carry my hand carry luggage towards the waiting MPV. It was a short ride to the hotel which was residing beside a Wanda shopping mall.

After arriving, was greeted by multiple staff/associates and was escorted to the Club lounge known as Club L to be checked-in. After the check-in formalities, I was brought to Superior Room 1209 (if I remember correctly) and the associate introduced the room amenities. I have to admit, nice layout of the room and bathroom! Welcome fruits and chocolates were a nice touch as well.

As I was given access to Club L, I had my breakfast there for both stays as it was very cozy and quiet (as I said, new property). They do have someone on hand to make eggs as well. If variety is what you're after then the all day dining restaurant known as The Place would be your breakfast hangout. Unfortunately I did not have a chance to partake in the evening cocktail service in Club L due to me being out there in the city behaving like a tourist.

I did manage to get permission to view their Langham Suite. It was nice if you needed more room space and had a long stay.

The staff and service did not disappoint and I felt Langham maintained their standards at this hotel. I hope to return again to enjoy the amenities and service and of course the wonderful staff.

Note: I could not award 5 stars to this stay as my Amex credit card was rejected by their terminal (same credit card was accepted at other hotels in the city) and my Visa card was charged with DCC. Hope they will get it sorted out if they intend to accept international guests.

Just a FYI, the following were not yet ready for the public during my stay:

T2 (dining)
Chuan Spa
Other Suites besides Langham Suite
