The Langham, London lies in the heart of London’s West End shopping and theatre districts.
Located just off Regent Street, the hotel is an ideal base from which to explore all the tourist attractions and the financial areas of the city. |
The first phase of the multi-million pound refurbishment was completed in 2007, which has seen the opening of Artesian, the chic and glamorous bar and a stylish new restaurant,
The Landau.
Designed by David Collins Studio, The Landau is set to become one of the principle new dining destinations in London. Head chef, Andrew Turner, has created a contemporary European menu with the best British ingredients and a few surprising twists. It’s open daily for breakfast, lunch, dinner and private dining.
The next phase of the refurbishment has commenced as the hotel progresses in its vision to become one of the top grand hotels in London. She will recapture her past splendour, exuding graceful and timeless elegance, blending a sence of the past with the style of today. This phase saw the closure of the hotel lobby, Palm Court, the Ballroom, all private function rooms, plus around 260 guest rooms. All these areas will re-open after a total transformation in early 2009.
In the interim, the hotel will continue to fully operate with a reduced number of around 160 rooms and suites including The Langham Club.
A new purpose built entrance lobby, reception and concierge have been constructed opening directly on to Regent Street, formerly the Health Club entrance. |

Artesian and The Landau will remain fully operational, as will the Health and Fitness Club, featuring a swimming pool, steam rooms, sauna and state-of-the-art gym. A full service will be offered in all the remaining rooms. In addition, further funding has been invested to make some noticeable upgrades to the remaining rooms, including a redecoration and the installation of flat screen televisions.
Construction impact should be minimized as the majority of the remaining rooms are sited away from the construction zone, or in the case of the Club Rooms, in a separate building.
