The Sterling Suite is the new hallmark for refined living, adding to the Langham, London’s spectacular Infinity Suite, the newly launched Wedgwood Suite, the Regent Suite and collection of Grand Club Junior Suites, Studio Suites, Classic Suites, Langham Suites and Langham Apartments. The next phase of the hotel’s evolution involves the addition of several new suites and residences slated to launch in time for summer 2016. The new rooms, located in the main building facing Portland Place with views of the iconic BBC building and All Souls Church, further elevate the hotel’s position as a highly desirable luxury venue in the competitive London market. The project, spearheaded by designers Richmond International – the team behind the exclusive Regent Wing, Langham Club Lounge and Sterling Suite during the hotel’s 150th anniversary renovations – includes the addition of 115 new guestrooms, including 25 suites. What’s more, the hotel’s accommodations have been reconfigured to provide a more refined and residential style with the creation of seven Portland Suites and several residences fitted with designer kitchens. All suites and residences are attended by an extensive team of butlers assisting with guests’ personal requests, from unpacking suitcases and colour-coding clothes in wardrobes, to personalising pillows and room temperature, and organising bespoke itineraries. As Managing Director, Bob van den Oord, explains, “The Langham, London has been adapting its luxury offering in recent years to cater to a more esteemed and discerning clientele. These guests are looking for a more personalised stay, with bespoke service, and this refined accommodation component, together with our butler service and private kitchen menu in partnership with Chez Roux, will ensure that these needs are met.” In addition, all suites and residence guests have access to the Langham Club Lounge, London’s largest such offering. Inspired by private clubs of the Victorian era, the Langham Club Lounge combines classic sophistication with modern sensibility, providing a private sanctuary for guests to start the day with a hearty breakfast, or socialise over drinks later.
