The Langham

About

James Murray's 1865 Portland Place palazzo—one of London's first purpose-built hotels—was restored by Richmond International with forensic respect for the original Italianate detailing: reinstated plasterwork ceilings, the preserved grand staircase, and new rooms and a spa inserted without disturbing the fabric that gives The Langham its irreplaceable civic weight.
