The Langham, Melbourne

Great view. The room was very clean and the aesthetic fits the hotel. I'd call it old school charm rather than dated. Some of the newer hotels can feel sterile in the search for modernity. The shower could use better lighting. Chaun Spa is excellent. The men's Sauna was empty in the middle of the day as was the pool and jacuzzi. It would make a great mid week break. Aria bar was good. The Negroni was well made. I had a late night meal at 930pm. The fish was well cooked and the desert was nice. But, given the quality of restaurants in the area, I didn't try mush else. I ate at Asado and got take away pizza and meat plate from DOC. It was excellent to be so close to such excellent restaurants. Trams are really close. So is the train. I spent quite a bit of time just looking out the window and reading. Stay was 3 days. 2 days working on moving house. 1 day off. Day off was superb. The two days I worked were big days. I slept very well. The bed was excellent.

Slightly dated decor in rooms and bathrooms is in need of an upgrade. Toilets and bathroom sinks are far too low. Heating was out of order in both rooms and required service from an engineer. Exterior door to bar fridge was almost hanging off its hinges. This should have been attended to prior to arrival. The service here is impeccable. The food delivered via room service really lets the team down. The hamburger was one of the worst I've ever had. Not fit for purpose. The fries served with all meals were sub par - flabby and/or cooked at too high temp in all instances. Serious attention needs to be applied to do better in this area. Club sandwich was good quality but the bread was soggy due to too long steaming before delivery. This may be due to spending too long in the delivery trolley. Much better co-ordination is required between chefs and delivery staff to avoid simple errors.

We stayed at The Langham for only one night midweek (wished we could have stayed longer) and we adored it 💗 it was absolutely beautiful 😍 we stayed in the middle of winter and it had the perfect romantic, cozy feel to it making it a very homely base in the very centre of the city. The location can’t be beat, right near Flinders Street Station and close to Crown on the beautiful promenade next to the river, the views are my favourite of any Melbourne hotel. As soon as you walk in, the hotel has a beautiful musk smell and old world charm. The rooms are beautiful and spacious and the corridors large making it not feel claustrophobic. We were able to use the rooftop indoor pool and heated spa which was invaluable during winter. We loved how the spa was truely hot and we could swim in the pool because it was a perfect temperature - hard to find in hotels. Staff were professional and friendly, always saying “hello” or “good morning” - nothing was too much trouble and they made you feel special. 5 ⭐️ all the way and highly recommend xx

The hotel's decor is modern contemporary. A good first impression. However, in line with industry standards, the overall running of the venue, sway more towards 4.5 star in events (past effort). The staff is much more relaxed, than refined.

Beautiful hotel - the lobby smells incredible! Conveniently located and only a short walk to the heart of the CBD. The spa & pool facilities were fantastic. Large number of lounge chairs on the terrace and an under cover heated pool & hot tub. Room service was great with a decent selection on the menu. Staff are also super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend adding on the buffet breakfast. Great selection with plenty of options including lots of fresh fruit and a juicing station. They even have a chocolate fountain & ice cream.
