The Langham Hotel, Sydney

A Luxury Sydney Getaway

Whether it is a staycation or a vacation, The Langham, Sydney is the ideal city escape.  What I love most, apart from it being a part of my neighbourhood, is that it feels like a sanctuary rather than a luxury city hotel.  The Langham is located in the tranquil historic area of The Rocks and is a leisurely stroll to Sydney Harbour, the CBD and Barangaroo.

It is a destination for the discerning visitor that is seeking an experience rather than just a place to stay.  Pulling up in your car, entering the elegant, yet unpretentious entrance in leafy Kent St and being greeted by the Concierge feels more like arriving at a beautiful residence.

For return guests, like me, it is a haven that I enjoy escaping to and for many other regular guests it is a home away from home.

Being a Sydneysider, I am fortunate to be able to pop in after a morning walk and to take a moment to catch my breath, enjoy a cup of tea and prep myself for the day.  Even though I am dressed in my well-worn athleisure gear and my companion is the family dog, I am always warmly welcomed.  The warm and sincere hospitality is extended to each guest that enters the hotel lobby.

The relaxed but respectful and professional manner at The Langham does not end with the Concierge, it effortlessly flows throughout the hotel.  I have been a long-term resident of Sydney, and I am fortunate to be surrounded by fabulous hotels and bars, but The Langham is a favourite because it feels like a local, a very chic local.

The Observatory Bar is also a favourite haunt of mine.  It is the perfect and preferred atmosphere for a more relaxed work meeting, a catchup session with a girlfriend.  No athleisure gear for these visits.  I wear what my mood commands.  It could be a pair of jeans, a t-shirt and a cool pair of sneakers, a suit glammed up with a pair of statement earrings, or something that is simply a bit wow.

A stay at The Langham is a treat.  Whether you visit for a night or a week, for business or pleasure, you leave feeling that you have made a connection with the hotel and one of Sydney’s oldest neighbourhoods.

The Langham Sydney Swimming Pool

From the spacious rooms to the grand suites and the Residence, The Langham feels like an established boutique hotel rather than another international hotel, in another international city.

You may decide to spend your time in the hotel, lounging in the bar, being pampered in the spa, relaxing by the spectacular 20-metre indoor pool with a star-dappled sky ceiling.

Your choice may be to take in the charm of The Rocks and Millers Point, or to shop it up in Castlereagh Street. Whichever you prefer, and it may be all three, The Langham truly has something to offer the worldly traveller.
