The Langham, Haikou: Binhai Avenue high-rise palace overlooking Haikou Bay with T’ang Court, infinity pool, and Chuan Spa

Reigning with soaring neoclassical British elegance and Haikou Bay maritime grand palace architectural nobility occupying the upper floors of the landmark Grand HNA Plaza along Binhai Avenue in the financial heart of Haikou, Hainan Province, China (overlooking Haikou Bay and the Qiongzhou Strait, just steps from Evergreen Park, 25 minutes from Haikou Meilan International Airport), The Langham, Haikou opened in 2016 as Hainan’s premier urban luxury grand palace. Designed with ivory marble colonnades, bespoke crystal chandeliers, and British pink accents, the 249-room luxury palace commands panoramic vistas over the tropical sea and city skyline. Centered around the acclaimed fine-dining institution T’ang Court, a heated outdoor freshwater infinity swimming pool overlooking Haikou Bay, the signature Palm Court for traditional British afternoon tea, and the palatial Forbes Five-Star Chuan Spa, this property is the Coconut City’s ultimate coastal grand palace.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished Hainan maritime glamour and Haikou Bay tropical splendour: liveried footmen in Langham pink uniforms greet guests beneath the towering marble porte-cochère on Binhai Avenue before ascending to the soaring sky lobby lounge with sweeping sea views, curated Chinese contemporary porcelain, and chilled Hainan coconut water or signature Langham ginger tea with warm artisanal canapés. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Haikou cultural, coastal, and volcano pursuits: taking private morning strolls through the tropical palm gardens of Evergreen Park along the bay (steps away), private guided excursions to the dramatic volcanic craters of Haikou Volcanic Cluster Global Geopark (30 minutes away), private guided walking tours through the UNESCO-nominated 19th-century arcade architecture of Qilou Old Street (15 minutes away), swimming in the outdoor infinity pool overlooking Haikou Bay, indulging in Five Elements Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies at Chuan Spa, sipping craft cocktails with ocean breezes in the Sky Lounge, and reserving a private dining salon at T’ang Court.

Palace living balances active Hainan island exploration with serene tropical sanctuary wellness: Chuan Spa features 6 private luxury treatment suites, herbal steam rooms, saunas, an outdoor heated infinity swimming pool, and therapies based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and ESPA skincare. Dining is an extraordinary Cantonese-Hainanese culinary summit: authentic Cantonese and Hainan seafood gastronomy at T’ang Court (celebrated for Wenchang chicken, Dongshan mutton, dim sum, and sommelier Grand Crus), international buffets at The Atelier, British afternoon tea in Palm Court, and 24-hour in-room royal dining.

Accommodations comprise 249 rooms and luxury executive suites styled in warm cream and timber boiserie, bespoke silk damask textiles, deep freestanding marble soaking bathtubs, and floor-to-ceiling glass framing Haikou Bay and the sea ranging from 45 to 200 square metres. Each residence features plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs, embedded TV mirrors, and custom Diptyque Paris amenities.
