The Langham, Melbourne

8/10 Good

"Great view, classic charm, and excellent service! I had a lovely and relaxing stay. The room featured a deep bathtub, crisp clean linens, blackout curtains, and a pleasant river view. Staff service was excellent—the receptionist thoroughly followed up on my booking’s F&B credit, and I was grateful for early check-in and a 1:00 PM late check-out. The breakfast buffet was solid, especially the fresh omelets and miso soup. The wellness facilities were a highlight: the jacuzzi had a great view with nice water jets, and there were complimentary teas and hydration stations in the pool/sauna area. Note that the pool has a glass roof, so visiting in the early morning or late afternoon is ideal to avoid direct sunlight. The property shows its age slightly, but the public spaces have a wonderful, timeless classic style. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway!"
