Langham Hotel London, London

Hotel Introduction
Since 1865, the Langham Hotel has been the destination of choice for celebrities, heads of state, and discriminating travellers who refuse to settle for less than the best. With its majestic exterior and luxurious public and private interiors, it’s no wonder the Langham has attracted a who’s who of famous names for nearly a century and a half.

The highly trained, attentive staff is dedicated to each guest’s complete satisfaction, while the hotel’s facilities ensure that all expectations are exceeded. There’s so much to enjoy—from the impressive restaurants and lounge to the long list of beautifully-appointed event rooms to the decadent health club.

Of course, the impeccable accommodations at the Langham are what bring people back again and again. The 162 rooms and suites offer complete luxury; classic design; and modern essentials such as a 32-inch flat-screen television, broadband Internet access, and satellite channels. For a truly incredible stay, select one of the rich suites for options such as an in-room spa and multiple bedrooms.

Dining
Treat yourself to gourmet fare at the Landau, which presents an intriguing blend of fresh British and European dishes with a subtle Asian influence. Once the hotel’s ballroom, Landau’s interior retains its former elegance while surrounding diners in comfort. Named for the 360-foot-deep well beneath the hotel, Artesian is a vibrant, exotic cocktail lounge that offers a long list of exciting beverages, with a specialization in rum drinks. Palm Court, the famed location where afternoon tea was born 140 years ago, is still a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy this tradition. Or transition into night-time with a selection from its grand champagne list.

Spa
The impressively equipped health club at the Langham has a wide array of cardiovascular machines and weights, allowing guests to stick to their fitness regime while on holiday. Facilities include the fitness studio, as well as a 16-metre swimming pool, sauna, and steam rooms.

Hotel Features
For theatre buffs who want to enjoy the best of Landau and still make the opening curtain, Landau’s presents a London Theatre Dinner from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m.

Much like a wine tasting, Artesian offers a cocktail tasting menu that allows guests to graze their way through a variety of delicious drinks, becoming a bit of an expert in just one evening.

Meetings
A long list of exceptional balls, parties, social events, and corporate festivities have taken place within the meeting rooms at the Langham. Take your pick from amongst 12 stylish, modern function spaces that include everything from a Victorian ballroom to distinguished boardrooms.
