In 1865, The Langham, London opened its doors. As Europe’s first Grand Hotel, it was quite an event — royals and aristocrats attended the (very posh) opening ceremony. Today, Langham hotels still embody that special, elegant ethos, which is why Fora is thrilled to announce its official membership in COUTURE by Langham, the collection’s invitation-only preferred partner program.
Now, when you book your stay at a participating Langham hotel around the world — from Chicago to Sydney, Hong Kong to London (of course) — you’ll unlock VIP perks and gain access to exclusive deals reserved only for selected partners.
The Langham has thought of it all, and now Fora travelers will get even more out of their stay. Read on for why we love Langham hotels, plus a few of our favorite properties, all of which boast the exceptional service and attention to detail for which Langham is known.

Why we love The Langham

The Langham brand is steeped in history. Their London property was the first hotel to have hydraulic elevators, and hot and cold running water. Royalty, artists, musicians and society’s bigwigs enjoyed its sophisticated environs. And in 1871, Emperor Louis Napoléon III, exiled from France, spent much of his time there (not a bad deal). Later on, Princess Diana was a frequent visitor.
The Langham portfolio expanded in the 20th century, adding properties in the US. And it continued to grow. Today, you’ll find COUTURE by Langham hotels on four continents — North America, Asia, Australia and Europe.
Each property boasts a keen eye for design, and celebrates local art while thoughtfully marrying architecture, décor (we love their famous pink roses) and even aroma — they have a signature scent. Every detail is accounted for. Nurse an expertly crafted drink at any one of the hotel’s destination bars, enjoy afternoon high tea, relax at the sumptuous spa or enlist the local Service Stylist to curate a unique experience for you.

This regal landmark hotel was the second property in the Langham’s portfolio. Here, guests stay in refined rooms and suites, which their pets can enjoy, too (the Langham Pasadena is among the most luxurious pet-friendly hotels). Head to the spa, lounge by the pool, explore the surrounding posh neighborhood or sample any one of the hotel’s numerous dining options, from a sunlit breakfast terrace to a sophisticated steakhouse.
