Capturing the dynamism of city living in Melbourne, the Langham offers something for everyone - whether you are upbeat and lively; or laid-back and mellow; there are more than one ways to enjoy yourself. The interactive setting within this five-star hotel lets you create the perfect holiday experience as you would define it; and we believe it would most likely include these 5 things…

1 Golden Spaces The Wow Factor The hotel is a totally unique property, designed to evoke the feeling of a Victorian Mansion built in the Gold Rush Era of the 1890’s, reflecting the historical story of its location. Why We Like It Grand marble staircase, high ceilings, cascading fountains, silk hangings and sparking Waterford Crystal gives the spaces a timeless, classical quality. Experience It Experience the sense of grandeur and opulence as you take the stairs and linger at the lobby area. The grand entrance and The Langham Club floors define the Victorian style to perfection, setting a new standard of luxury hotel design within the city.

2 River Sights The Wow Factor The unimpeded, panoramic views of the Yarra River and Melbourne city skyline are breathtaking from this ideal location on the famous Southbank Promenade. But that’s not all. What you can find around here warms the heart as well. Why We Like It Located on the banks of the Yarra River, The Langham, Melbourne is nestled amongst an abundance of al fresco cafés, restaurants and boutiques – all within walking distance. Experience It Stroll down Yarra River and with a good map in hand, trek to the prime attractions found here: The State Theatre, State Concert Hall (Hamer Hall), National Gallery of Victoria, Federation Square, the Arts Centre, The Royal Botanic Gardens and Crown Casino.

3 Beauty Sleep The Wow Factor Lush, luxurious room interior decked in rich fabric and cosy furnishing. Why We Like It There are 387 classically designed guestrooms where each includes a stunning marble bathroom complete with separate shower and bathtub, along with their signature Blissful Bed. Experience It Kick back your shoes and plunge into The Langham’s Blissful Bed with its feather duvet and crisp sheets. Engage in your favourite bedtime activities and feel the difference. Breakfast in bed can be quite a luxurious experience as well.

4 Inner Harmony The Wow Factor The very oriental Chuan Spa offering holistic spa treatments based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) juxtaposes against the Victorian-style hotel; but in a welcoming way – like a breath of fresh air. Why We Like It Treatments to rejuvenate the mind-body-spirit are easily accessible at Chuan Spa. In line with TCM, Chuan’s treatments and expert consultants focus on harmonising the body and soul. Experience It Consider going for the Chuan Awakenings treatment, which includes the signature Chuan Harmony massage. Or try out the Tao of Detox, which features a luxurious full body exfoliation. With so many treatments to choose from – ranging from soothing massages, hydrotherapies, body wraps, polishes, facials to foot/hand therapies – we suggest that you follow your intuition when it comes to making your best spa choices.

5 Meals & Views The Wow Factor Dining at the Melba is more than food and drinks – it is a tasteful performance. Named after Melbourne’s world famous opera performer, Dame Nellie Melba, the Melba dining experience is similarly spectacular, engaging, and constantly evolving. Why We Like It Excitement, theatre and innovation is the heart of Melba. There are dynamic cooking stations where guests can interact with the chefs and inspirational themed sections including Turbo Woks, Seafood Ice Blocks, Tandoori Oven and Floating Desserts. Experience It Engage completely with the interactive setting at Melba: create your own entrée from an amazing variety of fresh, seasonal ingredients ranging from the sashimi and sushi selections to a mouth watering variety of gourmet cheeses; watch and chat with passionate chefs as they prepare the dish of your choice within their colourful open kitchen stations; and remember to dive in to the luscious warm chocolate fountain as well as the array of to-die-for desserts.

Langham Goes Green

The Langham, Melbourne has officially implemented the Pathway to Environmental Sustainability, taking numerous steps to ensure the property is playing its part in the improvement of global environmental health.

All the Right Green Moves
As a global five star luxury hotel, The Langham, Melbourne is committed to minimising the environmental impacts associated with the day-to-day operation of the hotel in an environmentally sustainable manner. The Langham, Melbourne Environmental Policy commits to:

01 Energy Efficiency

The Langham Melbourne has reduced their overall green house gas emissions by 4% due to reduction savings in electricity consumption of 2.6%, natural gas consumption of 9.3% and waste to land fill by 6.7%.

Projects For savings in electricity: Continued replacement of incandescent light globes with energy efficient alternatives; turning lights off in unoccupied areas and the redefining of central plant operations and operating parameters. For reducing natural gas consumption: installation of a laundry water recycling plant during 2008 – this recycling plant has allowed the hotel to recover heat through the recycled water which reduces the energy needed to heat water from mains temperature to the desired machine temperature.

02 Water Saving

In 2008, The Langham, Melbourne reduced its water usage by 71,000 litres per day from its 2006 water usage – the equivalent of filling more than one family sized swimming pool per day.

Projects Installation of the laundry water recycling plant; the installation of water efficient shower heads to guest rooms and Spa facilities; operational changes to equipment like the kitchen dishwashers; woks and laundering processes; and the implementation of waterless urinals throughout the back of house areas.

03 Waste Reduction

In 2008, The Langham, Melbourne Green Team improved over 20 Standard Operating Policies relating to recycling, packaging and general waste disposal. These policies have resulted in reducing waste to land fill from 495 in 2007 to 462 tonnes in 2008 or by 6.7%.

Projects The recycling and waste disposal practices include bottle recycling and empty bottle management; paper, cardboard, battery and light globe recycling; as well as proper disposal of waste.
