Langham Place is a 3-in-1 shopping mall, hotel and office tower that opened in the fourth quarter of 2004 in Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong, China. It occupies two entire blocks defined by Argyle Street, Portland Street, Shantung Street and Reclamation Street. Shanghai Street separates the hotel with office tower from the shopping mall.

Jointly developed by the Great Eagle Group and the Urban Renewal Authority of Hong Kong, the 59 storey Grade A office tower, Langham Place Office Tower, is the tallest in Kowloon and Mong Kok with a height of 255.1 m (837 feet). The complex houses a 15 storey mall including 2 basements that spirals itself up to the 13th floor and a 665 room hotel. The mall is also connected to the Mong Kok MTR station of the MTR via Exit C3 which opened on March 3, 2005. The Great Eagle Group announced the sale of individual floors of the Langham Place Office Tower in August 2005.
