The Langham Hotel
Europe’s first “grand hotel” - The Langham, London - opened in 1865. While back then this luxurious property was well-known for high-tech amenities such as electric lights, hydraulic elevators and air conditioning, today the Langham is best known for its outstanding drinking and dining opportunities and for housing Europe’s first Chuan Spa. The hotel was recently refurbished lavishly: marble floors and soaring ceilings in the foyer along with purple leather banquettes and mirror detailing in the guest rooms combine the tradition of Victorian architecture with the luxurious modern touches we’ve come to expect from top-tier hotels today.

Dining
Roux at the Landau
There is no shortage of competition when it comes to top-quality restaurants and bars in London, but The Langham lands at the top of the list, thanks to fine-dining restaurant Roux at The Landau. Father and son Albert and Michel Roux Jr work together for the first time in over 20 years to bring their legendary culinary expertise and creative flair to the Langham. Chef de cuisine, Nicolas Pasquier and the expert front of house team ensures a unforgettable culinary experience at one of the best London restaurants.
The Artesian cocktail
The Artesian cocktail lounge is regarded as one of the best bars in the world. The unique Salvador Dali-inspired drink menu led by the head bartender features works of art turned cocktail such as Spring Drifting Into Summer (vodka, shochu, artichoke, coffee, yuzu, passion and coriander poured into a molten dish) and Suspended In Time (gin, lime, niaouli, yarrow and palmarosa held together in a scented, cocooned net attached to a blue crystal ring).
The Palm Court
If the Artesian has your evening taken care of, then fill your afternoons at the Palm Court, a grand mirror-bedecked hall with a 1920s ambiance and the birthplace of afternoon tea. The Wedgwood tea includes Wedgwood specialty blends served in custom-made Langham Rose Wedgwood crockery. On Friday and Saturday evenings, the Palm Court is transformed into a lively jazz lounge where you can enjoy complimentary champagne and canapés.
