“Throughly enjoyed our stay! Everything was great, the buffet dinner at Melba is a must and be sure to get the buffet breakfast too. Everything is so delicious. The freshly made omelette was amazing. One thing I have to mention is the amazing pineapple and ginger Jam that chef Vy makes in house for breakfast. It’s delicious Definitely recommend this hotel!!!”
“We had such a beautiful stay at The Langham Melbourne. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, welcoming, and truly luxurious. The rooms were elegant, spotless, and so comfortable, with stunning views and attention to detail that made the stay feel extra special. The atmosphere throughout the hotel was calm, relaxing, and classy. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel looked after, and every part of the experience felt 5-star. The location is also perfect, close to everything while still feeling peaceful and private. One of the highlights was simply enjoying the beautiful ambiance of the hotel — it honestly felt like the perfect little escape. We left feeling refreshed, spoiled, and already wanting to come back. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a luxury stay in Melbourne. Thank you for such a memorable experience”
“What a great place to stay. The staff are excellent - nothing is too much trouble and everything is handled with grace and good humour. Special mention to Maryna from the guest relations team. She asked when we arrived if there was any special reason we were holidaying there. I mentioned that it was our 30th wedding anniversary and we decided we wanted to mark the occasion with something special. It was quite spur of the moment - we booked about 10 days previously. So, we had arrived early and went for breakfast and just asked if there was any chance we could get into the room early. They were so accommodating and rang us a couple of hours later as we were in the lanes and let us know we could get in (about 4 hours early!). We decided to clean up and head for the pool - which is very well maintained with a great spa area. Once we were back in our room, room service arrived with complimentary champagne and a “Happy Anniversary” cake, courtesy of Maryna and Kevin. Such a nice gesture, which we really appreciated. Top notch bar, restaurant, facilities and the service is 100%. I can’t recommend the Langham enough.”
“We had a great long weekend stay at the Langham. The room was nice and quiet even though we were across the river from Flinders Street Station. We had the pleasure of visiting the spa and wellness centre, both of which are lovely facilities. The hotel breakfast is also quite nice and offers plenty of gluten free options. Just speak to the restaurant reception and they will sort it with their head chef, who is super friendly.”
“The views from the room were fantastic, especially overlooking Flinders Street Station with trains constantly coming and going, along with great views of Fed Square and the Yarra River. The room itself was fairly standard but spacious. Unfortunately, the bed wasn’t very comfortable and I didn’t get a good night’s sleep on either night. The mini bar was well stocked, however there was a significant build-up of mould in the shower, which was quite unpleasant. The breakfast buffet looked impressive, but the food itself was nothing special. Overall, there was nothing particularly wrong with the hotel, but nothing stood out as exceptional either. I would only return for the views.”
“My partner and I stayed at The Langham for his birthday. When you first step in it is absolutely beautiful and the staff are exceptional. Thank you to the lovely English woman on front desk who gave us an upgrade to a beautiful suite as it was my partners birthday. Even sent a yummy birthday cupcake to our room. The room was perfect with an amazing city view and bed was so comfortable. The buffet breakfast is amazing and caters for everyone. If I could give more higher star rating I would. Can’t wait to go back…”
“My girlfriend and I stayed at The Langham Melbourne for our anniversary and I can undoubtedly say this is the best hotel in Melbourne. All the staff here are friendly and considerate, and put in extra effort to make your stay more memorable. This was exemplified with the Happy Anniversary cupcake that was left in our room after we had only mentioned the occasion once to the staff member who checked us in. The rooms were spotless and in excellent condition, there were endless movie choices for only $10 add on. Our room service was prompt and up to an excellent standard. Finally, the buffet breakfast was outstanding. There are options for anyone, including a make your own juice station, hot and cold food, pastries and freshly made omelettes and poached eggs. I couldn’t recommend a stay here more highly!”
