The Langham Hotel, London

Portland Place, Westminster Borough, London, W1B 1JA, United Kingdom (show on map)

Expert reviews

CN Traveler review:

“This great big castle of a building is less than five minutes’ walk from Oxford Circus, but still far enough away for the noise of crowds to have dissipated. The Langham first opened in 1865, so it’s self-assured, yet more modern than most hotels of its age.”

Featured in CN Traveler’s 2020 Gold List.

Forbes review:

“Europe’s first “grand hotel,” The Langham, London opened in 1865. While back in the day this luxurious property was famous for high-tech amenities such as electric lights, hydraulic elevators and air conditioning, as well as a raft of celebrity and royal connections, today the Langham is best known for its outstanding drinking and dining opportunities.”

Amazing place with wonderful staff

Beautiful building with amazing rooms, that real classic London feel. The staff were wonderful and made every effort to make our stay perfect. Our 3 year old was treated like a superstar and did not want to leave. Can’t recommend enough.

Genuinely could not fault the place.

Emjoyable stay. Great Service. Amazing facilities and food.

The customer service at the Langham was superb. From the concierge to the housekeeping. It didn't feel like theer was anything that was too much to ask for. My visit was over Christmas and I was expecting to get a drop in standards secondary to them being overwhelmed as it is quite centrally located, and I assumed the hotel would be packed. The hot was busy but didn't feel like an all-inclusive which is exactly what I was avoiding. The rooms were were lit with exceptionally comfortable beds. Room service was always on time and the standard of food was as good as expected. Noise levels in the room was minimal and whether it's a business trip or a vacation, you are guaranteed a good night sleep. The bathrooms have ample light, and the design is tasteful with a methodical layout. Cleanliness was top notch, and house keeping always did a great job of keeping the rooms pristine. There is a well-equipped gym, which is a good size and would accommodate four people simultaneously doing circuit training, without feeling like you are in each other's way. However secondary to the building being historic (this is good), directions to the spa and the gym could be better as it is a bit of a maze.

Parking is very limnited and quite unsafe unless the car is parked in front onf the hotel. However there is capacity of 3 maybe 4 cars at the front, at a push. This is a difficult challenge as the hotel is so central and I imagine getting allocated secure parking for the hotel is costly. Be aware of leaving your car EMPTY if it is to be parked in the underground parking lot. Ther risk of a break in is very LIKELY.

A wonderful adventure, giving a memorable experience.

The breakfast was EXCELLENT!!! You have an amazing ‘Head of Breakfast’ Chef!!! The food was cooked & presented to PERFECTION!!! The Dining Room staff were superior to other establishments. The Receptionist was delightful & most welcoming as we entered each morning. The ‘Club Lounge’ was a ‘mini version’ of the main Dining Room with the exact attribute’!!!

Everything was a great experience, for we Australians, so far from home.

It’s one if my favourite hotel so hope next time breakfast will be better.

Christmas decorations are always very beautiful in this hotel. Porters are very good too. They are always king and helpful. Great value for hotel.

Breakfast staff service was shocking this time. No attendance to clean the table or help with anything until we actually complained. Our table was loaded with dirty plates and no one literally came in to clean. Very uncomfortable given we had a small baby. Selection of food wasn’t very exciting either. Only one type of cheese. They don’t offer omelets. Poor selection of bread, fruits or pastry. They didn’t even had walnuts which I normally would it with my yogurt. Only strawberry and some strange compote as a fruit. Nothing fresh. Breakfast was simply not good enough for 5 star hotel. I hope this feedback will help them to improve breakfast services.

You could not hope to stay in a more beautiful London Grand Hotel.

The Langham is opulent and the staff are wonderful. The atmosphere and the history is captivating. The Artesian and The Langham Club, chiefly their staff, were the real highlight.

Easier to say what didn’t I like, we like. Absolutely nothing. This is our home from home in the South. We’ll be back again in another few weeks. We don’t stay anywhere else. Staff are fabulous from the door to any other level of staff they are superb.

Nothing to improve on. You can’t complain at all with the Langham. It is the best hotel in London, has to be.

A most outstanding destination hotel, with fantastic staff.

An absolutely outstanding hotel; very, very special. The most outstanding feature is the fantastic staff. Very professional, very visible, evidently very well trained as their excellent service was so consistent across all staff. The environment of the hotel itself is luxurious and very beautiful.
