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.”

Nice to have some luxury in the capital

The building is stunning with a fine history. Real sense of luxury and very nice rooms

The breakfast was too expensive so we ate next door. The bar was disappointing with no draught beer and little disappointed by the lack of lounge areas

Perfect hotel…. Worth every penny….

We had a weekend in London for my husbands special birthday. The hotel were wonderful in making this special for him. We were so overwhelmed with how well we were treated. We have stayed in this hotel before so we were looking forward to returning. Everything about it is perfect from the smell of reception to the hand cream in the room. The room has everything you need for a lovely stay… honestly stay in this hotel it is the best in London.

Excellent location and customer service

The structure of the building unfortunately doesn’t give you much space for a bigger lobby and so area for the guests
