Managing Director of Great Eagle Holdings and Chairman of the Langham Hotels
International Group was presented with the Asia Pacific Hotelier of 2004
award at today's 8th Asia Pacific Hotel Investment Conference held at the

The prestigious award is a tribute to Dr. Lo's dedication, commitment and achievement to the hotel industry in the region and particularly Hong Kong. As one of Hong Kong's leading property and hotel companies, Langham Hotel International is a dynamic, modern international hospitality ownership and management company which has become a real success story for an Asian home grown brand.

The group's extensive international hotel portfolio currently comprises eight properties with over 4,760 rooms in six gateway cities across the four continents, namely, London, Boston, Hong Kong, Toronto, Melbourne and Auckland. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Group opened Langham Place, a 1.8 million square feet complex in the prime shopping district of Mongkok, Hong Kong. It consists of a 600,000 square feet shopping mall, a 770,000 square feet intelligent office tower and the five-star Langham Place Hotel, Mongkok, Hong Kong. The project which took over 14 years to materialize due to the complexity of multiple land ownership in the area is now singlely accredited for the revitalisation of Mongkok. In Hong Kong, LHI owns, manages and operates the luxury 490-room Langham
Hotel, Hong Kong, the all new 665-room five-star Langham Place Hotel, Mongkok,
