In a city full of hotels and on a strip where they’re back-to-back, how does The Langham Sydney differentiate itself from the other extravagant skyscrapers begging for bookings on The Rocks? Well for one, The Langham isn’t overstated or towering – there’s a case to be made for subtlety. Ostentatious isn’t in the vocabulary here, though opulent does come to mind. The lobby is grand: fitted with high, draped ceilings and Victorian-style couches, though from the thoroughly classy, three-storey façade, you couldn’t tell. Divine comfort, warm service and lush touchpoints dominate this playbook, making it one to read. 

The rooms 

Even the most basic room at The Langham is dressed to impress. Each room is decked out in the style of a suite: generous bathroom, enormous bed, and charming bedside recliner. King beds are decked out in cloud-white Frette linens, custom Diptyque amenities line the sides of ocean-deep bathtubs and roomy rain showers, while thoughtful, colourful artworks punctuate white walls and fresh flowers in sweet vases decorate marble-topped tables. 

Food & drink 

This is one for the hotel breakfast lovers. There can’t be anything much better than a well-executed buffet breakfast, and The Langham’s offerings take the proverbial cake. Upon entry, you’re personally escorted into a light and airy dining room. Your coffee order is taken and promptly delivered before you’ve so much as glanced at your newspaper. Choose from breakfast har gow and siu mai, or go classic with the made-to-order omelette station. For drinks, the Observatory Bar is open from 11am, and is armed with an impressive array of rotating cocktails and a tight à la carte menu. Room service is available 24 hours, but your prime CBD-adjacent location means some of Sydney’s best restaurants are just a brisk stroll away.

The service 

An effusive concierge manning gold-edged double doors sets the tone for your staycation at The Langham Sydney; from entry and check-in through to bar or breakfast service, the warm and inviting staff have you feeling right at home. Whether it’s a room service after-dark Martini and Caesar salad delivery with a joke and a smile or genteel expertise in selecting your Cinderella glass-slipper spa treatment, you won’t have to think about a thing. 


Ideal for: A luxe staycation for lie-in lovers and hotel breakfast fans 

Why we love it: 

  • The location. Take a break from the bustle in a beautifully appointed room, but have the city at your fingertips. 
  • The spa. Serene, inviting, and a non-negotiable for staycationers.
  • The rooms. Expansive at even a basic level, it’s a tough ask to leave.
