The Langham Hotels and Resorts: A Legacy of Luxury Since 1865
The Langham Hotels and Resorts is a prestigious luxury hotel brand with a rich and pioneering heritage dating back to 1865, when its flagship property, The Langham, London, opened as Europe's first "Grand Hotel" . This groundbreaking establishment redefined the standards of hospitality, introducing innovations such as electric lighting, hydraulic lifts, and air conditioning that were unheard of at the time . Today, the brand is part of Langham Hospitality Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hong Kong-based Great Eagle Holdings, and continues to uphold its legacy of elegance and innovation across a global portfolio.
With over 30 properties in its portfolio, The Langham brand graces prime destinations across Asia, North America, Europe, the Pacific, and the Middle East, including key cities like London, New York, Hong Kong, Sydney, and Shanghai . Each hotel is distinguished by sophisticated design that often hints at its British heritage, alongside award-winning dining experiences—such as the three-Michelin-starred T'ang Court in Hong Kong—and the quintessential Club experience that offers an elevated level of personalized service.
The brand is synonymous with delivering exceptional, unpretentious, and heartfelt service, an approach known as "The Langham Way" . Guests are also greeted by the brand's signature colour, a distinctive pink first discovered in the original wallpaper of The Langham, London during its restoration. Looking to the future, The Langham continues to evolve, with highly anticipated openings on the horizon, including The Langham, Venice in a restored 16th-century palace on Murano island, set for 2027 . Whether in a historic landmark or a contemporary urban retreat, The Langham Hotels and Resorts remains dedicated to building great memories for its guests by blending timeless sophistication with modern, heartfelt hospitality.
