“We Married There!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The Langham lived up to all expectations. We have stayed there quite a number of times now. This time was by far the most special.

We stayed in a luxury terrace suite as part of a more pricey package.

The premium was worth every cent.

As usual, the hotel staff were by far the most helpful and courteous of anywhere we had stayed before. They made this stay even more special as we had our special day there.

We had our wedding reception at Melba. Everyone commented on how great the food was. The lobster was a stand out.

Overall, we couldn't have wished for a better stay than we had at the Langham. It would take a mammoth effort for its nearest competitor to even be close!

Room Tip: Pay the premium - worth every cent. The Langham Advantage Club entitles you to more privileges.

“A great experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 February 2012

We stayed in a classic room overlooking the river. The room was spacious and well equipped, but did not have much space for more than one large suitcase. The beds with deep mattress toppers and soft pillows are just SO comfortable. The in house bottled water was overpriced at $10, but we managed without it. The bathroom was spacious and well equipped and everything was kept well stocked.
Breakfast was very good, but lacked the variety of other 5* hotels we have stayed in. The staff were friendly but the service levels varied between excellent and poor. On our last morning I had to walk up to the restaurant supervisor to order drinks after waiting 15 minutes, and then it was another 15 minutes and one reminder before they arrived.
However, all other staff on other days and in the rest of the hotel were great.

This place is very good and so well located - highly recommended.

Room Tip: High floor and river views are a must.

“Best Hotel in Australia”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2012

I have stayed in some world class hotels and the langham Melbourne certainly ranks right up there with the best. great location, staff, and best breakfast one could have. Comfy rooms and turn down service is great.

“Luxury from start to finish.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2012

Dripping with elegance and gorgeousness. We stayed in a deluxe roome with club facilities. All bathroom accessories were in pink !
The service was superb, the club facilities out of this world.
The Langham has everything you'd expect from a 5 star hotel. Marvelous!

“Fantastic location and staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2012

Loved this hotel as the staff went out of there way to help me get my camera back after leaving it in a cab. We did manage to get it back and all thanks to about 4 staff there who made it happen.
The room was great and the balcony was massive (there are only about a dozen with balconies). Centrally situated on the south-bank of the river with lot's on new cool restaurants around it.
I think this is really good value for money given that it is 5 star and the staff are definately 6 star. Definately going back there next February.

Room Tip: Go for the ones near the top wwith the large balcony
