Travel resolutions for the new year usually include bucket list trips to big international destinations like Europe and Asia but, really, if you want to start 2026 off right, your best bet is booking a few nights at The Langham, New York<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My husband and I decided to end last year that way because we were headed to New York for the holidays and, since The Langham Huntington, Pasadena<\/a> is one of our favorite places to hide away on the West Coast, we wanted to finally experience the brand on the East Coast. Spoiler alert: We loved it.<\/p>\n

The perfect Fifth Avenue location<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The beautiful lobby of The Langham, New York.<\/p>\n

(The Langham, New York, Fifth Avenue)<\/p>\n

The 60 story skyscraper that houses The Langham, New York is a magnificent part of the city skyline, with the luxury hotel occupying the first 16 floors. Standing tall on Fifth Avenue, between 36th and 37th Streets, it offers a quick walk to the Empire State Building, Madison Square Garden, Broadway shows<\/a> and so much more.<\/p>\n

Walking into the lobby, with its eye-popping Alex Katz paintings, inviting couches and friendly staff, is like coming home. In fact, one of the most New York features of the hotel is that, just like in the city\u2019s residential buildings, you\u2019ll find families, couples, solo travelers and business people from all over the world co-mingling and enjoying their shared spaces.<\/p>\n

The Langham Club<\/p>\n

\"Complimentary<\/p>\n

Complimentary (and delicious) snacks and meals are available all day at The Langham Club.<\/p>\n

I am a huge fan of executive lounges and The Langham Club<\/a> immediately became one of my favorites, joining its cozy counterpart in Pasadena. The New York Langham Club has a more sophisticated, urban vibe but is equally homey with a reading nook, an attentive and super-friendly staff and a wide variety of outstanding culinary options changed out five times per day.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s definitely worth booking a room with Club access so you can take advantage of all these perks. The only downside is that it makes it oh so tempting to just stay in and eat every meal there because the food is so good \u2014 but you\u2019re in New York City and shouldn\u2019t miss out on all the great restaurants!<\/p>\n

One of those restaurants is actually right inside the hotel itself. Ai Fiori is known for its award-winning French and Italian cuisine and we\u2019re determined to eat there next time we\u2019re in New York. The name means \u201camong the flowers\u201d in Italian and the floral decor provides a lovely backdrop for what looks like a very special meal.<\/p>\n

Spacious rooms with expansive views<\/p>\n

\"Private<\/p>\n

Private terraces at The Langham, New York offer the most highly-coveted spaces in the city.<\/p>\n

The Langham New York offers 234 of the city\u2019s roomiest accommodations, from (aptly named) superior guest rooms to penthouse suites designed by Roche Bobois and featuring private terraces.<\/p>\n

Our one bedroom Empire State View Suite was massive and styled like the New York apartment of our dreams, with a gigantic walk in closet, dreamy Duxiana mattress and sun-soaked marble bathroom with a deep soaking tub and separate rainfall shower.<\/p>\n

We appreciated many of the Langham\u2019s thoughtful details, including the Chromecast-ready TV, complimentary bottles of water and the signature pink and gold Langham pens of which I seem to be making a collection.<\/p>\n

Dylan\u2019s Candy Bar and other sweet treats <\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

A visit to The Langham New York is even sweeter with the addition of a Dylan’s Candy Bar cart in the lobby.<\/p>\n

It feels right that The Langham New York has partnered with Dylan\u2019s Candy Bar \u2014 another beloved luxury brand that just makes people happy. There\u2019s a colorful cart in the lobby, where giant rainbow lollipops seemed to be the bestseller; guest room mini bars offer some of Dylan\u2019s signature bear banks, chocolates and sour candies; and The Langham Club has apothecary jars of everything from dark chocolate caramel bites to cosmic candy rings ready to pack in to-go bags.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The best welcome to New York ever.<\/p>\n

(Lois Alter Mark)<\/p>\n

The most special treat of all, though, was the amenity that was delivered to our room as a welcome gift. These housemade chocolates were such pieces of art, it seemed sinful to bite into them. But when we finally did, they tasted as amazing as they looked.<\/p>\n

160 years of Langham<\/p>\n

\"Europe's<\/p>\n

Langham Hotels & Resorts<\/a> just celebrated its 160th anniversary and the brand is getting ready to triple its portfolio over the next decade, with new hotels scheduled to open in Bangkok, Venice, Kuala Lumpur, Seattle and Tokyo.<\/p>\n

This year, I\u2019m excited about revisiting The Langham Huntington, Pasadena to experience their recent renovations (how can it possibly get better?) and, of course, returning to The Langham New York for a relaxing staycation.<\/p>\n

With The Langham topping my list of favorite hotels on both coasts now, I\u2019m thinking a stay at each one of their hotels around the world would be a great addition to my new year\u2019s resolutions. Or, at least, to my travel bucket list. And yours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Travel resolutions for the new year usually include bucket list trips to big international destinations like Europe and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":104286,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[575,9,11,10,30732],"class_list":["post-104285","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-fifth-avenue","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-the-langham"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104285","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=104285"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104285\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/104286"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=104285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=104285"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=104285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
