THE LANGHAM HOTEL, SYDNEY
IMAGE NUMBER 919
The Langham in Sydney is a boutique five star hotel with only 98 rooms located discreetly in the Rocks area beneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It was built by the Orient Express Group to be the top hotel in Australia - the standard rooms are 49 square mtrs. The Langham Group bought the hotel in 2012 for $40m, closed it for two years and spent $30m renovating it. Nonetheless the hotel is remarkably low key. It is a retreat where celebrities can enjoy privacy even over breakfast.
