“SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL AT THE LANGHAM”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

Me and my wife stayed at the Langham for 2 nights to celebrate our anniversary where we were staying in the grand suite. Parking was very conveniently located and secure (only one minute walk from the hotel.)

From immediately entering the hotel we were welcomed by the ever so attentive and professional staff. We felt very much welcomed wherever we strolled, from the very grand front entrance, the lobby, reception, restaurants etc. and wherever we saw a member of the staff we were always greeted with a welcoming smile which instantly put us at ease.

The room was immaculately presented with excellent quality of décor and furniture. The bed was splendidly comfortable and the best sleep I’d had since I can remember. The curtains completely shut out any light which makes for an amazingly peaceful sleep and we didn’t hear anything from the adjacent rooms. Bathroom was luxury with marble and excellent shower. Breakfast was delicious with very grand dining and first class waiters.

The location of the hotel was perfect for us as we wanted to be close to Oxford Street and Piccadilly which was only a two minute walk and there are good restaurants just a stone’s throw away from the hotel. In fact the staff at the reception even kindly booked us a table at the Turkish restaurant nearby which was very helpful.

We wish to finish this review about the staff at the Langham. We can say with confidence that they are the best that we have experienced and there is no question of the fact that this hotel is 5star plus, not only due to the quality of the hotel but equally if not moreso due to the quality of service by the staff at the Langham. Special thanks to Ihab, Faisel, Quentin (at concierge) and Eleanor all of whom contributed to a memorable and truly satisfying experience that we will cherish. We shall definitely be returning to the Langham.

Room Tip: rooms close to the elavator and stairs is a certain benefit

“Such a pleasure!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012 via mobile

We stayed at the langham in September. It was my favorite thing about London! The service was wonderful! Every need was met and everyone from the doorman to the concierge was friendly an accommodating. We stayed in one of the club rooms which have us access to the club lounge. I HIGHLY recommend this. Free drinks, sushi, and snacks- breakfast in the lounge was also great! It was such a lovely place to refresh after trekking around the city. The rooms were nice, although they felt a tad outdated. Other than that, I can't say enough nice things about this hotel- it smelled wonderf, beautiful flower arrangement, helpful staff, available for your every need! One work comes to mind when I think of the langham- charming. Also fun that this hotel has housed quite a few notable, historical guests! Loved the langham!!!

“Fantastic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 8, 2012 via mobile

Cannot say enough nice things about this place. Stayed there for a night with my wife having booked a (comparatively) cheap room on a website. Owing to a misunderstanding the hotel thought it was our anniversary and upgraded us and left us cakes and fruit and a handwritten congratulation card. Place was spotless and friendly, though the pool is quite a confusing trek from some rooms.

“Amazing Classy Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 8, 2012

Arriving on the Langham is a pleasure that makes you feel like an English Lord in every step of your stay. The rooms and the whole hotel is COMPLETELY clean and neat, all areas are fancy and classy but still you can receive a warm treatment that makes you feel like at home. The rooms are comfortable, the common areas are beautiful, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the location is great for shopping and sightseeing. Just to steps from the hotel is Oxford Street tube station, and also Regent's Park... also you are walking distance from major attractions and "must-see" places like Oxford Street, the beautiful Regent's Street, Leicester Square and if you like to walk, Trafalgar Sq, Buckingham Palace, Covent Garden and London's Theatreland are not so far.

Room Tip: I think top floors are the best choice.
