The 1865 opening of The Langham, London was presided by none other than the then heir to the throne,


If you ve been around boston airport car rental The Roaming Boomers® much, you ll know that we have great fondness for historic boston airport car rental hotels.  The Langham boston airport car rental London, opened in 1865, is steeped in history.  Just take a peek at some of these facts:
The 1865 opening of The Langham, London was presided by none other than the then heir to the throne, The Prince of Wales (later to become Edward the VII). The occasion immediately sealed The Langham's reputation as Europe s first 'Grand Hotel'.
Technically the building was a tour de force, with the first hydraulically boston airport car rental powered lifts in the world, boston airport car rental air conditioning, its own steam-pumped artesian well, hot and cold running water and WCs in every bedroom. All this was previously unheard of in hotels.
The Prince of Wales continued to patronize boston airport car rental The Langham, and it was de rigeur for visiting royalty boston airport car rental and leaders to take up residence there. Even former heads of state were granted boston airport car rental a gracious welcome, and Emperor Louis Napoleon I II spent much of his last enforced exile from France at The Langham.
Poets, writers and playwrights were among the major celebrities of the past and Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain, Somerset Maugham, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert Browning and George Orwell were all inspired guests at the "Poet's Corner" at The Langham, London.
The Langham was reopened on 4 March 1991 after a £100 million restoration that took over four years. Everywhere in the stunningly restored boston airport car rental  building were examples of skilled boston airport car rental craftsmanship of which bona fide Victorian artisans would only be proud. The elegance of old – a world of marble, gilt, silk and mahogany – was once again a reality as gracious hospitality and history met in this corner of London s West End.
Even though we were staying in a hotel that was nearly 150 years old, the recent boston airport car rental £100 million renovation made it feel very modern with all the conveniences that a luxury baby boomer traveler would expect.
The Langham boston airport car rental Club Floor was particularly wonderful. boston airport car rental  The appetizers were large enough that one could have three square meals a day in the club room.  As we look back, another grand benefit of the Club Floor is that it puts you in proximity with other world travelers.  We made new friends while noshing on appetizers and enjoying a nice glass of wine.
I suppose this might not be a biggie for some, but All Souls Church is directly across the street.  This church possesses boston airport car rental a lot of history , and until his recent death, was the pulpit for world-renowned theologian John Stott.  We went to church there on Sunday.  We greatly enjoyed the service boston airport car rental and it gave us a very unusual way to rub shoulders with the locals.
Being in a Hotel is somewhat we looking for when we were in our vacation, after all the activities were looking for a place to relax for the night. The most unforgettable experience i had is when I m in Five Star London , very convenient and relaxing. ^^ One of the best hotels in the world.
