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.”

Perfect. Welcoming, relaxing, accommodating.

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.

Absolutely nothing.

My new favorite hotel in London

Fantastic hotel. Their attention to detail was impressive. I returned from dinner to a beautiful full turn down complete with classical music playing, perfectly fitting slippers, and a bed spray / sleeping tips. The food was fantastic and despite booking one of the classic rooms, I felt it was very grand and luxurious.

A very welcoming and calm place to stay, makes you feel special

Despite the hotel being large, the staff go out of their way to make you feel like you’re the only one staying at the hotel. We stayed for two nights and can’t wait to visit again in the future for a special occasion. It’s a beautiful building, very well decorated and maintained, cannot fault it.

It’s difficult to choose anything I didn’t like, everything was amazing. Maybe the spa could have better facilities, for example there’s no jacuzzi, and the steam room and sauna are within the changing rooms. However this, in no way, spoilt our visit.

The service, the amazing ambiance and smell! The bar and the general attention to detail. I am a repeat guest. Every visit has been special. Rodrigo was great at the reception. Was able to think with me what would be a great room for me and was able to check-in early. That was an unexpected plus!

Interior is bit outdated, hotel should go either more modern or historical classical, now interior looks like it's stuck in 90's.

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.
