The Langham

UK England South East England Greater London Westminster

The Langham is perhaps central London's most elegant large hotel, with exceptionally comfortable rooms and one of the capital's great hotel bars.

With a location to die for at the top end of Regent Street, opposite the BBC, and minutes from the shops of Oxford and Bond Streets, The Langham may just be central London's most conveniently situated hotel. It's also one of its most elegant, with the stately feel of a landmark building, no less than 380 luxurious and very spacious guest rooms and a bar (The Artesian) which is as good a place to sink a cocktail or two as exists in the capital – indeed it has been voted 'World's Best Bar' on more than one occasion. The hotel's various dining options include the high-end Roux at the Landau restaurant and its own gastropub, The Wigmore. What you may not be aware of is that this 150-year-old hotel is one of the country's most haunted places to stay, with various ghostly sitings, most famous of which is the Victorian gentleman who appears from time to time in room 333 – a doctor who murdered his wife while honeymooning at the hotel.
