Overview
A grande-dame on the Yarra
The Langham, Melbourne is the city's classic riverside grande-dame, set on Southgate Avenue at Southbank on the Yarra River, at the heart of the arts precinct with the NGV, the Arts Centre and Federation Square on foot. A large, dining-led city hotel, not an intimate lodge, it is the full-service anchor of a Melbourne stay, around twenty-six minutes from Melbourne Airport. Its rooms and suites run in French-provincial style from 32-square-metre Deluxe River Kings to Balcony rooms, Club rooms with The Langham Club lounge, a One-Bedroom Suite, the 161-square-metre Chairman Suite and a top-floor Presidential Suite, with marble bathrooms and the Langham's signature in-room glassware. Dining is the headline: Melba runs an interactive buffet across six cooking theatres — Asian wok and clay pot, tandoori, a spice kitchen, seafood and the famous chocolate fountain — while ARIA Bar and Lounge serves the Langham's globally signature Afternoon Tea on Wedgwood china, with JING teas and tea sommeliers, and a riverside bar handles cocktails and light meals. Chuan Spa is TCM-inspired, with a signature tri-bathing ritual and a Sleep Matters programme, and a 15-metre heated indoor pool looks over the Yarra and Flinders Street. Crown, Flinders Street Station and the city's dining are all minutes away, and the hotel is pet-friendly.
