We had the most beautiful stay at the Langham, we received a gift voucher at our engagement party from my finances uncle. the voucher was valid for a week day only including Friday nights (which we didn’t know until we called and asked). We decided we would go and stay the weekend before valentines as the voucher would be running out soon and didn’t want to waste it.
The Langham is a big part of my finances family, his parents stay there quite frequently as a gift to themselves. So they told us that we should call up and ask how much extra it would be to get into the members lounge, as this would enable us to get free breakfast and dinner. With the gift that we received we would have been able to have breakfast for free any way, though we would have wanted to go out for dinner and in Melbourne’s CBD that’s not usually cheap. We ended up paying $100 each which included a room upgrade this also enabled us to get into the members lounge. Which is so nice, its quiet the food is real good and its like a mini buffet. The staff up there are so polite, they don’t necessarily clean the tables quickly but it’s still gorgeous and the views are pretty good too.
We arrived at around 6.00pm dinner in the club lounge ended at 8.00pm so we went to our room and I got changed as I left straight from work. After we had some sushi and nibbles we decided to have a walk down to crown. It felt like we were in Vegas again, no-one calling us to go and do anything and just feeling free and in our own little world for a night.
After a couple of drinks and a little show by a street performer we headed back to the room and snuggled up in the softest king size bed I have ever been in and watched the end of a cricket match (she rolls her eyes). It was honestly one of best nights sleep in a while.
We had a great breakfast and was able to choose from an English breakfast, a nice selection of fruit and yogurt, some pastries and a really nice coffee. I was craving a mimosa so bad but they didn’t seem to be serving alcohol in the morning which considering the venue that seemed realistic.
If you ever have the opportunity to stay at the Langham you will enjoy it, not only walking into the entrance and seeing one of the most beautiful water features, or the smell of the lobby (which we found out they put the scent in the air conditioning!) or the beauty of the marble decor, the freedom and silence, the food, the women’s only sauna/steam room (the men have their own too) and the pool, or the comfy king size bed. You will enjoy it because its amazing! and secretly addictive I really hope we can go back.
