The Langham, New York, Fifth Avenue

Everything about The Langham, New York, Fifth Avenue reflects its prestigious address on Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. This includes access to the hotel’s Jaguar and driver, Michelin-starred cuisine, contemporary art by New York’s own Alex Katz, and Duxiana beds in all 214 accommodations.

Sister to London’s legendary Langham hotel, Langham Place claims the first 27 floors of a residential high-rise, devoting Floors 5 to 27 to living quarters and Floors 1 to 4 to the lobby, restaurants, spa, and meeting rooms. Of special note to planners: A recent renovation, completed in September 2015, more than doubled the third floor’s event space to 7,500 square feet and produced an innovative environment marked by supreme versatility, ultramodern furnishings, plentiful daylight, and sumptuous leather-paneled separation walls.

The Langham brand’s signature Chuan Body + Soul Spa will open later this year. For casual meals and refreshments, guests drop by the lobby lounge, Measure, at street level. It features comfort foods with a modern twist, mixology rooted in classic cocktail culture, and a connoisseur’s collection of wine and craft beer. Special occasions call for Michelin-starred cuisine inspired by the French and Italian Riviera. It waits one flight up at Ai Fiori—which means “among the flowers” in Italian.
