"The Langham has kept up with the times admirably, adding a stylish pub and cooking classes while maintaining a reassuringly old-school swish of palm-court elegance. This great big castle of a building is less than five minutes' walk from Oxford Circus, but still far enough away for the noise of crowds to have dissipated. The Langham first opened in 1865, so it’s self-assured, yet more modern than most hotels of its age. The vibe is opulent without being ostentatious—the lobby is all dramatic marble columns and a dripping chandelier—while the Artesian Bar next door has a touch of Alice in Wonderland about it, with purple sofas and work-of-art cocktails." - Nicholas DeRenzo, CNT Editors
