The iPads are loaded with Langham Place’s own Hong Kong city guide, a Cantonese-English translator of must-know phrases, to-the-minute maps of Hong Kong, an intimate guide to using the Mass Transit Railway (MTR), as well as a restaurant locator and information on how to match Hong Kong delicacies with wine.

Tech-savvy guests are able to ‘check-out’ the iPads for 24-hours at a time. General manager Shaun Campbell says: “The hotel is surrounded by a wi-fi bubble so guests can take the iPads anywhere in the hotel – by the pool, at the bar, or in their room.”

Guests can also browse the web, check emails, flick through the latest magazines or sit poolside skimming through one of the pre-loaded e-books – all free of charge.

The hotel’s x team (concierge) is also equipped with iPads to provide interactive information on the city’s must-see and must-do attractions.

The iPads for guest use are accessible free of charge, regardless of room type for a 24-hour time period. They can be checked out from Portal – Work on level 5 between 7:00am – 10:00pm Monday – Friday and between 9:00am – 10:00pm Saturday – Sunday. The iPads will be allocated on a first-come first served basis.
