The Langham, London

The Langham is in an excellent location, a short walk from Oxford Circus tube station. The building has an older, more elegant style than many, more modern hotels, but this means that the elevators/lifts are quirky and guests may prefer to use the wide and comfortable stairs instead. We stayed in a Club room with access to the Club Lounge. The room was fine and the lounge was a 'little hotel within a hotel' that we enjoyed for breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening drinks and nibbles. The staff were all super-friendly and helpful. One special feature of the lounge was the 'free-flow' champagne, "More champagne, sir?" This was an extravagance for us and the evening food offerings did not seem to be at the same level. Salad, dips, pate and cheese are okay but we have had better and more varied food offerings at club lounges in other hotels. In fact, we remember having better food in the Langham Club lounge in Hong Kong. The gym and pool at the Langham are hidden down several twisty corridors in the basement. It is possible to hear the underground trains rumbling along as you swim in the pool. However, the gym and the pool are both excellent and the staff very helpful. Overall, we highly recommend the Langham hotel.

The Langham is an extremely luxurious and sophisticated hotel right in the heart of London. The initial greeting by the doormen, alone, sets the tone for the upcoming experience. Their professionalism and warm greeting makes you feel valued before you even check in or enter a restaurant to dine. The doormen always go out of their way to accommodate my mum and ensure her arrival is comfortable and safe. They are extremely considerate and attentive. Once settled in the beautiful Executive Lounge, we are always greeted warmly and welcomed back. The service is always outstanding and exemplary, as is the food and beverages, but it is the staff who make this gorgeous establishment feel like Home to me. They are always so welcoming, attentive, joyful, and attentive. The staff take their time to familiarise themselves with guests and always go over and above to make each experience memorable. My family and I have been returning customers and have repeatedly chosen this beautiful hotel for very special occasions. Each one has been momentous and truly special.

Very convenient location -- just a short walk from Oxford Street, including the tube station. Lovely welcome gift of fruit and chocolate, and they left new fruit in 2 days. One night, instead of a taxi, they provided their hotel contract car to take us to a West End show. We had booked through AmEx Fine Hotels, so they had upgraded the room. We had a leisurely afternoon tea at the Palm Court, which is supposedly the original afternoon tea. We were there in the midst of a heat wave, so we very much appreciated housekeeping leaving us lots of water. While our room was above the pub and the World Cup was going on, there was no noise. There was noise from a neighboring room, but it only impacted us one night.

Having enjoyed an afternoon tea experience at the Langham where better than to stay for a weekend and enjoy the rest of what the hotel has to offer.Superb!

The Langham is a historic property that doesn't feel tired. The service, cleanliness are impeccable. I also enjoyed the dining options; I tried several during the trip, and all were excellent.
