I Stay In London’s Iconic Luxury Hotel - The Langham

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator reviews a stay at The Langham, a historic luxury hotel in London that opened in 1865. After paying a 150 pound fee for a corner suite upgrade featuring a kitchenette, the creator evaluates various aspects of the property. While the suite offered a convenient full size fridge and freezer, the creator noted several shortcomings, including plastic utensils, a basic bedroom layout, and a lack of mattress encasements. The hotel provides Langham Club benefits such as complimentary shoe shines, digital newspapers, and access to a club lounge with snacks and drinks. The creator highlights a discrepancy in dining, noting that the main restaurant closes early, which forced them to eat at the hotel's connected pub. Although the dinner options were limited to bar food, the creator highly praised the quality of the burger. During breakfast, the experience was mixed, with one guest enjoying a signature breakfast while the other found the food lacked freshness. Ultimately, the creator concludes that while the building is beautiful and grand, the hotel lacked the personalized service and attention to detail found in other five star London establishments.

Creator's Key Takeaways
The burger was pretty good. In fact, it was the best burger I've ever had.
We miss that personal touch that we've had in other London hotels, for example, where they know you by name, even in a big London hotel.
It is a beautiful grand building. It has been here for such a long time. Has got such a long history as well.
