THE LANGHAM MARKS 160TH ANNIVERSARY WITH GLOBAL SUITE OF SYMBOLIC GUEST OFFERINGS AND VIBRANT CHARITABLE INITIATIVES
Langham Hospitality Group (LHG) has unveiled an international array of activities to honour the 160th anniversary of its luxury hotel brand, The Langham Hotels and Resorts ('The Langham'), which on 10th June marks the opening date of its debut property, The Langham, London. Established in 1865 as Europe's first Grand Hotel, the storied institution is widely credited with defining luxury hospitality, a practice LHG has continued to uphold through its expansion of The Langham and its services across 18 destinations and four continents. 'The 160th anniversary of The Langham is not just a milestone for our namesake, but for the luxury hospitality world at large,' Langham Hospitality Group CEO Bob van den Oord said. 'In recognition, we've created some truly extravagant guest offerings across the brand's global portfolio. Many of our hotels are also marking the occasion with the launch of new purpose-driven initiatives to raise proceeds for local charities, demonstrating our Group-wide commitment to both building great memories for our customers and giving back to the many communities that have supported us over the years.' A Legacy of Luxury: Discover The Langham's Most Exceptional Journeys Yet When The Langham, London opened its doors in 1865, it reinvented what a hotel could be – introducing unheard-of luxuries like electric lights, hydraulic lifts, and air conditioning. It was a bold vision of modern comfort that set the standard for generations to come. Today, we honour that spirit of innovation with a series of extraordinary packages designed to surprise, delight, and inspire. Crafted by The Langham hotels around the world, each offers a contemporary expression of the brand's enduring promise: to push the boundaries of what luxury can be. Chief among the offers is the Langham Legacies Package*, an extraordinary six-night journey for six guests across two of the brand's most iconic destinations. Just as the original hotel in London ushered in a new era of luxury, the transatlantic experience is designed to redefine what today's traveller can expect from a celebratory escape. Beginning with three nights in the Empire State Penthouse Suite at The Langham, New York, Fifth Avenue, guests are enveloped in modern grandeur – complete with floor-to-ceiling views of the Empire State Building. A sommelier-led Chef's Table experience at the award-winning Ai Fiori, followed by an exclusive cocktail reception on the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building, celebrates New York's spirit of ambition and elegance. From there, guests are flown via private jet – with a dedicated flight attendant and top-shelf catering – to The Langham, London, the place where it all began. Here, they reside in the Sterling Suite, the hotel's most palatial accommodation, offering timeless refinement and personal butler service. A private four-course dinner atop Tower Bridge and an intimate cooking session with Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux at SAUCE by The Langham elevate the experience further – echoing the hotel's original role as a hub for royals, artists, and tastemakers. Other featured anniversary-themed packages from The Langham's hotels include: The Langham, Hong Kong package: A two-night experience in the Chairman Suite, beginning with a Bentley airport transfer and exclusive access to the Langham Club Lounge. Guests delve into Hong Kong's culinary traditions through a guided market tour with Chef Fai, culminating in a private dinner at the three-Michelin-starred T'ang Court. A rooftop couples' massage with Champagne and a private after-hours tour of the M+ Museum round out a journey that honours both cultural heritage and modern art. The Langham, Melbourne package: Guests are invited to take in Australia's dramatic landscapes through a luxury lens. Following a warm welcome in the Chairman Suite, they are treated to a private helicopter tour over the Great Ocean Road, with a gourmet lunch along the Bellarine Peninsula. Personalised in-room dining, wine at the acclaimed Society Restaurant, and a couples' treatment at Chuan Spa reflect The Langham's signature blend of local immersion and elevated comfort. The Langham, Sydney package: A two-night stay in the Observatory Suite, where refined interiors and sweeping views provide a serene retreat. A sunset yacht cruise on Sydney Harbour, an in-suite dinner served by a dedicated chef and waiter, and a couples treatment at The Day Spa by Chuan are designed to transport guests – much like The Langham, London once did for Victorian-era travellers seeking escape and elegance. The Langham, Gold Coast package: A relaxed but refined experience with a seaside flair. Guests staying in the Chairman Suite are pampered with Chuan Spa rituals, coastal yacht charters, and culinary indulgences – including a degustation dinner at T'ang Court and a private chef-led in-suite meal. It's a modern take on luxury – relaxed, immersive, and unmistakably Langham. Each package, while tailored to its locale, reflects a common thread: a dedication to the spirit of innovation, comfort, and cultural refinement that The Langham, London first introduced to the world 160 years ago. For details on the above packages or the anniversary packages at other hotels under The Langham, please contact the respective property teams directly or reach out to the media contact(s) listed below. Expressions of Taste: Indulgences Inspired by a History of Epicurean Excellence The Langham, London's arrival changed the way the world dined. The property became the first hotel to serve afternoon tea to the public, delighting Victorian high society with extravagant buffets, and embracing culinary innovation with one of the earliest hotel kitchens to be led by a celebrity chef. To honour this legacy, The Langham's hotels around the world are offering celebratory food and beverage experiences that pay homage to our storied past – while reimagining luxury and refinement for today. From 10 to 30 June 2025, guests can toast 160 years of unforgettable moments with The Langham Royale Punch – a playful, elegant drink inspired by the brand's heritage that is served complimentary to bar patrons during the daily Golden Hour (5 – 6 pm) at all properties. Guests visiting The Langham's hotels can also enjoy the brand's specially reimagined Battenberg Cake – a refined twist on the classic British teatime favourite. Created exclusively for the anniversary, the modernised version nods to The Langham's Victorian origins while showcasing the culinary creativity of its chefs worldwide. The Langham Pink Run: Celebrating With Purpose Around the World The Langham is not only marking its anniversary with luxury, but with purpose. Select hotels around the world will host The Langham Pink Run – a global initiative inviting guests, colleagues and local communities to participate in physical activities designed to support charitable causes in health, education, and sustainability. Each hotel will bring its own interpretation to the programme, with formats ranging from guided walks and fun runs to creative, art-inspired movement experiences. The goal is to foster connection, well-being, and collective impact – all while reflecting the spirit of the local community. Approximately 1,600 people are expected to take part in The Langham Pink Run around the world, either virtually or in person. The initiative takes its name from the brand's signature pink – a distinctive hue rediscovered in The Langham, London's original wallpaper during its 1987 restoration.

The Langham Celebrates Legacy in Motion
As a prelude to its 160th anniversary this June, The Langham Hotels and Resorts today introduced signature pink all-electric Lucid Air house cars at The Langham, New York, Fifth Avenue and The Langham Huntington, Pasadena, Los Angeles. The flagship brand under Langham Hospitality Group (LHG), The Langham is widely known for its rich history and pioneering spirit – both of which are reflected in these latest guest amenities. As we prepare to mark 160 years of luxury hospitality and forward-thinking for The Langham next month, we welcome this chance to highlight the brand's heritage and innovative spirit. Our signature pink Lucid Air house cars both honor The Langham's past and accelerate its journey to the future. LHG Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing Lawrence Ng The New York and Los Angeles hotels are the first under The Langham to offer the pink house cars, marking what may be the start of a broader rollout across the brand's portfolio in the coming months. A history of innovation The story of The Langham is one of pioneering pursuits – from its 1865 beginnings in London to its current and ongoing commitment to delivering cutting-edge guest experiences. Widely regarded as Europe's first grand hotel, its founding branch was the first facility of its kind to offer air conditioning, hot and cold running water, and hydraulic elevators, which it affectionally referred to as 'rising rooms.' Fast forward to today, and The Langham's hotels continue to stay ahead of the curve by embracing advanced cloud solutions, adopting next-generation loyalty systems, and laying the groundwork for cutting-edge AI-enabled guest booking platforms and personalization tools. Pink for the ages The Langham's signature pink is more than just a color – it's a story, one deeply rooted in the brand's heritage. During a 1987 renovation of The Langham, London, restorers uncovered remnants of the hotel's original pink wallpaper. Inspired by this discovery, LHG adopted the hue as the brand's signature color, weaving it into everything from floral arrangements to afternoon tea sets – and now, its striking electric house cars. About Langham Hospitality Group A wholly-owned subsidiary of Great Eagle Holdings, Langham Hospitality Group (LHG) comprises a family of distinctive brands, including The Langham Hotels and Resorts, Cordis Hotels, Eaton Workshop and Ying'nFlo. With over 40 hotels and residences in operation or development, LHG has a global footprint that extends across Asia, Europe North America and the Middle East.
