Langham Hospitality Group continued the group’s expansion in China with the opening of the Langham Hefei. Hefei is the capital and largest city of Anhui Province in China, known for its rich history and multicultural influences.
Strategically located in the city’s new administration and cultural center, The Langham, Hefei is in the heart of the dynamic business, shopping and entertainment districts.
“We are honored to bring our luxury brand to Hefei and introduce The Langham’s renowned experiences like our excellent Chinese cuisine, Michelin starred restaurant, T’ang Court and elegant Afternoon Tea to our guests and the local community in Anhui,” says Stefan Leser, chief executive officer, Langham Hospitality Group.
Designed by Bilkey Llinas Design, one of the top international hotel design firms, the 339 guestrooms and suites are private sanctuaries with panoramic views over the city. The interiors are sophisticated with a warm color palette and specially designed contemporary furnishings. Ranging from a spacious 45 square meters for the Deluxe Room to a luxurious and generous space of 247 square meters for the Presidential Suite stays at The Langham, Hefei is the epitome of luxury.
“We are delighted to partner with Langham Hospitality Group to bring the legendary hospitality and heritage of Europe’s first grand hotel and impeccable service to Hefei,” says Zhou Qi, chairman of Anhui Land.
Positioned to be the social center of Hefei’s community and preferred venue to host key events, weddings and conferences in the city, the luxurious Grand Ballroom spans 1,380 square meters and can accommodate up to 910 guests. Equipped with today’s high technology facilities, the individual meeting and function rooms range from 33 up to 450 square meters and each room can be flexibly configured for smaller gatherings, business meetings or private celebrations.
The hotel offers four unique dining concepts. Seasons, a vibrant all-day restaurant, offers a wide spread of buffet selection and à la carte menu featuring international cuisine. Guests can indulge in authentic Cantonese cuisine and local delicacies at T’ang Court, presenting signature and award-winning dishes from the Michelin-starred namesake restaurants in Hong Kong and Shanghai.
The specialty lobby lounge, Palm Court overlooks the beautiful courtyard garden, a perfect setting where Afternoon Tea will be served. A mid-day indulgence first served at The Langham, London since 1865, specialty teas, delicate savory and sweet pastries will be served in fine, exquisite “Langham Rose” Wedgwood china specially created for The Langham hotels globally.
The Bar at the hotel offers a wide selection of wines, premium spirits, and unique cocktails and is the perfect gathering place.
Chuan Spa will also feature at The Langham, Hefei. The award-winning spa and wellness brand will focus on holistic treatments through integrating the principles of traditional Chinese medicine using the five elemental forces of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water to relax and invigorate the body, mind, and soul.
The hotel also boasts of a state of the art fitness facilities at the health club and a 25.8-meter swimming pool so guests can continue with their fitness regime during their travels.
