Langham Hotel, Victorian luxury hotel in Marylebone, England
The Langham Hotel stands at Langham Place in Marylebone and rises six floors with views toward Portland Place. The facade shows typical Victorian elements with tall windows and clean lines facing Regent's Park.
The Prince of Wales opened the building on 10 June 1865 after Lucas Brothers completed construction. The firm had built it for 300,000 pounds and started a new chapter for luxury accommodation in London.
Oscar Wilde and Arthur Conan Doyle met here in 1889, and a green Westminster plaque on the facade marks that moment. This literary connection still draws guests who want to walk in the footsteps of the two writers.
The building holds 380 renovated rooms across several floors accessible by lifts. The Grand Ballroom and other function spaces suit gatherings, while a business center serves professional travelers.
In 1879 electric lights were installed in the entrance and courtyard, which was still rare in London at the time. This early innovation made the building a pioneer in bringing electrical lighting to the city.
