Cordis

Our interaction with the Cordis brand was when I stayed at the Cordis Hong Kong, previously Langham Place Mongkok in 2016. Today the upscale five-star hotel group has four properties at Beijing Capital Airport, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Auckland (previously The Langham, Auckland).  The Cordis corporate colour is a distinct Orange and this is featured in this year’s red packets. The back die-cut of the Cordis logo helps to fasten the envelope cover flap.
