London is one of those European capitals where the selection of hotels is so vast that choosing one is practically a challenge. Among the must-see options are, of course, the sublime Firmdale hotels, such as the Covent Garden or the Soho Hotel. However, while it’s always tempting to stay there, the service doesn’t necessarily live up to the nightly rate. That’s why Travellers Society tested the Langham London, one of the legendary hotels in the English capital.
The building, dating from 1865, makes a grand impression the moment you arrive. A spacious lobby, with friendly and efficient staff. At the front desk, if you’ve booked an Executive Room or one of the suites, you’ll be escorted immediately to the 3rd floor.e floor, where the Club awaits you.
Exclusively for guests who have chosen this room category, it’s a peaceful haven where you can enjoy a snack, breakfast, a light dinner, or get some work done. Everything is complimentary—from drinks and meals to concierge services. If you have access to the Club, here’s a tip:, Make this your go-to spot for breakfast : You'll be pampered, and if there's something not listed, just ask!

The gym is equipped with state-of-the-art machines, and you can, of course, take advantage of the services of a personal trainer. The spa offers an appealing menu of treatments, and the staff there are efficient, qualified, and always cheerful.
