Elegant hotel with French dining, art deco lounge, and spa
"A 157-year-old west London landmark that goes full throttle for Yuletide: last year it collaborated with iconic London toy store Hamleys (and previously Liberty London), with a children’s afternoon tea inspired by traditional toys and a grotto where Santa awaits. For adults, the foodie offerings are typically impressive; at the Wigmore, expect pub classics with a twist—country pork terrace with apple chutney, Christmas pie “with all the trimmings,” and heaping platters of old favorites including the famed XXL stovetop three cheese and mustard grilled cheese. Before supper, try one of the seasonal masterclasses at Sauce by The Langham cooking school to create festive edible gifts, bake cookies, or make wreaths; there’s also gingerbread-house-decorating for little ones." - Sarah Leigh Bannerman
"If it feels as though The Langham has been there forever, that's because—in hotel terms—it pretty much has. But a century and a half on, it's looking grand, as sophisticated and elegant as it did when Napoleon III spent the night. These days, the Victoriana and chinoiserie are offset by smooth, occasionally quirky contemporary elements—notably in the award-winning Artesian bar, with its timber chandeliers, imitation-snakeskin flooring, and resin-topped tables." - Steve King
"Particularly opulent around the holidays, this five-star stay partners with Hamleys to create a magical family-friendly experience, from a festive children’s afternoon tea inspired by historic toys to a Christmas tree included in your suite as part of the package." - Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel is a writer with more than eight years of experience editing and writing for both brands and online publications—with a particular focus on travel, fashion, and lifestyle.

"It has to be The Langham for me — it really ticks all the boxes in terms of the food offering and the spa is great, and my dad Michel works closely with the hotel overseeing the food and beverage programme." - Andrew Young
"Within London’s varied scene, we cite its Georgian and Victorian inspiration." - The MICHELIN Guide
