Melbourne – The Langham, Melbourne continues to charm travellers around the world with its enchanting hospitality, tailor-made touches and service with poise. The elegant Melbourne counterpart of Europe’s original grand hotel was recently bestowed the coveted accolade of Australia’s best hotel by American travel bible, Travel + Leisure, in the 10th Anniversary edition of its 500 World’s Best Hotels.
Of particular note to Travel + Leisure was The Langham, Melbourne’s new Club Terrace rooms – the first of its kind in Melbourne. Seven exclusive rooms within the hotel were exquisitely redesigned earlier this year to include elegant 50m² outdoor terraces. Furnished with luxurious sun lounges and a matching outdoor dining set, the timeless terraces offer guests a private open-air oasis, against the backdrop of Melbourne’s sparkling skyline.
The Langham, Melbourne’s Managing Director, Mr. Ben Sington, was delighted by the prestigious recognition.
“We, at The Langham, Melbourne, are incredibly proud and honoured to receive this accolade from Travel + Leisure – especially so as it is the magazine’s 10th Anniversary edition. It is gratifying to know that our continuous strive for excellence is recognised by readers throughout the world, and by one of America’s most respected publications,” Mr Sington said.
“The foundation of our success can only be attributed to the efforts of our staff, who are dedicated towards bringing the tenets of our brand – enchanting hospitality, service-with-poise, and tailor-made experiences – to life every day. We are extremely grateful for the support and recognition from Travel + Leisure’s readers, and will continue to bring them The Langham, Melbourne’s legendary service as they have come to expect for many more years to come,” Mr Sington added.
It is the second time this year that The Langham, Melbourne has been recognised by the prestigious publication. In July this year, the hotel took home the top city hotel award (Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific) in Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards. The latest accolade is the fourth for the hotel from Travel + Leisure in three consecutive years – a testament to The Langham, Melbourne’s continued innovativeness and commitment to excellence.
The Langham, Melbourne was ranked amongst the best hotels from around the globe as selected by readers in Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards Survey. The results of Travel + Leisure’s 10th Anniversary edition of 500 World’s Best Hotels 2011 will appear in the January 2012 issue of the magazine.
