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.

CRIMSONLOGIC AND BDO SINGAPORE SIGN STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP TO DEVELOP SPECIALIZED GENERATIVE AI ADVISORY PLATFORM
This strategic partnership aims to transform professional advisory services by leveraging cutting-edge Generative AI to provide accurate, domain-specific insights SINGAPORE, Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Global technology company CrimsonLogic, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PSA International and a leader in digital trade, digital ports, and technology solutions, is expanding its proprietary Generative AI (GenAI) advisory platform "AskCL", through a strategic collaboration with BDO Singapore, a leading professional services firm. Together, they are co-creating "AskBDO" - an innovative Generative AI (GenAI) advisory platform designed to provide accurate, domain-specific insights for professionals in legal, tax, and finance. Currently, GenAI solutions commonly encounter issues such as hallucination, where AI generates plausible but incorrect information, as well as data lineage inconsistencies, contextual limitations, data freshness, privacy concerns, and ethical considerations. These are critical areas that any robust GenAI solution must address to be effective and trustworthy. "AskBDO" combines CrimsonLogic's technological expertise with BDO's domain-specific insights to deliver accurate, reliable, and relevant responses to specialized queries, providing users with a dedicated virtual advisor to access precise information quickly, thereby enhancing their decision-making processes and reducing the risk of errors. This improved efficiency allows these professionals in specialized fields such as legal, tax, and finance to focus on complex tasks that require human expertise, ultimately delivering greater value to their clients and organizations. The "AskBDO" platform leverages updated, curated knowledge bases and fine-tunes solutions for specific industries to provide verifiable responses. It also allows multiple organizations to use the platform while keeping their data isolated and secure, as its multi-universe knowledge base separates and manages both public and private data, enhancing the contextual accuracy of responses. Additionally, the platform offers robust customization capabilities, empowering users to develop tailored topics and knowledge bases. "This strategic partnership with BDO Singapore represents a significant milestone in our commitment to revolutionize professional advisory services through advanced technology.
