Beware of micro aggressions/profiling from the valet staff. In a recent visit, the valet assumed because of either my car or how I looked that I was an uber driver. I was there for a friend’s birthday at the restaurant. I had to express twice that I was not there to pick someone up. I didn’t say anything because I thought I was being overly sensitive in the moment but a bit later a friend of mine that was attending had the same experience. I wrote to them and they gave a very lackluster response.

The valet doesn’t know the restaurant hours so you park and walk through entire hotel to find the restaurant closed after lunch. The pool bar is an option and friendly but the bar area mirrors were streaked with dirty dish rags, shelving hold stock beverages were bending from too much weight, and there is no door exit to the front valet so you have walk a football field length hallway to leave…oh, you have go get validation from their own hotel and parking service. Who requires validation for their own parking & restaurant.

Very special hotel that has a retro atmosphere of the exclusive London hotel which is the heritage. I would like guests to appreciate the ambiance and dress more appropriately but for most especially the young it is CA whatever happens to seem in.

No Regrets. My four day visit to The Langham was first rate. The staff was consistenetly amazing. I have a special shout out to Fanuel Girmay, Bell Captain. Mr. Grimay really knows his restaurants, and is very well informed regarding all the best eateries in both the Pasadena, San Marino and larger Los Angeles area. Additionally, the restaurants / bars on site at The Lnagham provide diners with farm to table well thought out menu items. The server staff is second to none.

Great place for a quick getaway! The entire staff is very welcoming and there for any of your needs. The spa amenities such as the sauna, steam room and gym are an added plus. Tennis court and pools are amazing! The property and views are absolutely beautiful. It was very peaceful and felt private, the history of this site is one to look into. Location is great and minutes away from The Huntington Library and Old Pas.
The rooms are pretty standard, we honestly expected more. Our shower did not drain efficiently, the water was ankle high seconds into the shower. There was no outlets open or accessible for the coffee machine provided. If I'm being extra picky, one of the nightstands with the built in plugs wasn't plugged in either (again no outlets available for this). There is no self-parking on site as well.
Another downside was the food sadly. Food was very underwhelming for the value... I personally would consider it very overpriced for what it is. We ended up ordering ubereats pretty often during our stay when we stayed in. Drinks were great, shout out to Garrett at the bar!
Aside from a few small things that are easily tolerable, I would definitely stay here again! Everyone on staff and the property is amazing!
