We Paid /night

Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees

What does ""We Paid"" mean?

Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.

Here are five things to know about us:

1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Our Inspector's Highlights

A recent overhaul of the lobby and lounge area has brought a new elegance and glamour to the neighborhood.
The centerpiece of the lobby — two oversized paintings by contemporary American artist Alex Katz — breathes life and color into the glossy space.
The artist’s work is prominently featured throughout the New York City hotel as well as in guest room corridors and even in some of the rooms and suites.
The lobby’s dramatic winding staircase and avant-garde floral arrangements complement the chic vibe.

Things to Know

Catering to how things are done in NYC, the fitness center is open 24 hours a day and you can book a trainer or yoga instructor to help you with your workout.
And while New Yorkers espouse the efficiency of the subway system, nothing beats a ride in the Midtown Manhattan hotel’s house car, available on a first-come first-served basis.

The Rooms

Guest rooms are well-appointed and quite spacious by Manhattan standards (they average of about 750 square feet). And with sweeping views of the city’s skyline through large windows (many are floor-to-ceiling), the hotel takes full advantage of its position.
Room décor is simple and chic, with white linens, gray accents and Italian walnut furniture. Luxury amenities like Swedish Duxiana beds, Italian linens, flat-screen TVs, Nespresso machines, robes and slippers are standard here.
Suites have complimentary bottled water and sodas and some include full kitchenettes with Miele appliances.
Marble bathrooms are bigger than many New York City apartments, with lavish accoutrements like in-mirror televisions, deep-soaking tubs and rain showers.

The Restaurant

The Langham is home to acclaimed chef Michael White’s Ai Fiori.
The restaurant features cutting-edge Mediterranean fare inspired by the French and Italian Riviera.
A sophisticated but not stuffy space is filled with pretty floral arrangements (fittingly, as ai fiori is Italian for “among flowers”).
Enjoy dishes such as risotto with butternut squash and cranberry beans or pan-seared sea scallops, cauliflower purée with farro and walnuts.
