The Langham London

Hotel review

The Langham was built as a grand hotel in the latter half of the 19th century and first opened its doors in 1865. Since that date it has been a constant on the London hospitality scene and today is justifiably up there with London's best. The impression the minute you walk in is of elegance and style, with tasteful public spaces adorned with beautiful flower arrangements (all done by a talented member of in-house staff). The 380 rooms and suites continue the elegant theme - they have been tastefully designed with a nod to Art-deco style. All are spacious and provide the comforts and accessories that you should expect in a five star establishment: super-comfy beds, top quality bed linens, marble en suites with massive showers, complimentary toiletries...For those booking an Executive Room or above you'll get access to The Langham Club, an exclusive, residents-only sanctuary where you can enjoy food and drinks all day and for business guests, there's complimentary use of a boardroom and media room for a couple of hours. Dining at The Langham is a serious affair. All options are overseen by Michel Roux Jr and this means fantastic food throughout the property from the Wigmore Tavern to Roux at The Landau signature restaurant. Artesian is where to go for cocktails and drinks - a chic, moody and glamorous bar which will set the right tone for the evening ahead. And for those who either want to be pampered or who need to keep their fitness regime going, there's the stunning 16m pool, 24 hour fitness studio and Europe's first ever Chuan Body + Soul with its male and female sauna and steam rooms and wide range of treatments which claim to nurture, balance and restore. The Langham is a stylish property in a superb location just minutes from Oxford Circus. The ideal hotel for a luxury city break with easy access to London's shopping, sights and nightlife.
