We caught one of the very last flights into New York City that night. The planes arriving after us? Diverted to other airports or grounded due to the wild winds and unsafe conditions. The pilot must have white knuckled that landing and he was rewarded by uproarious applause as we cruised safely into Laguardia Airport. As we emerged from the airport, we realized how blessed we were to be safe and sound on the bustling streets of New York City amid the honking cabs and pushy people. The winds were wild, the torrential rain beating down on the city.
One steamy cab ride later and we arrived safely at our destination; The Langham Place, New York, Fifth Avenue, in the heart of Manhattan.
After a warm and quick check in, we were ushered to the quiet of the 19th floor. My Husband and I opened the door to our Family One Bedroom Suite and were immediately enveloped in it’s space, modern aesthetics and it’s serenity. A gorgeous home away from home for the weekend. We put down our dripping bags, and went off to explore our expansive 1000 square foot hotel suite.
The spacious accomodations were equipped with a King bed in the master bedroom and a Queen sleeper sofa in the living area.
Our Master bedroom featured an oversized closet, safe, comfortable Swedish Duxiana beds and indulgent Italian Pratesi linens.
The star of the suite, the floor to ceiling windows throughout, with breath taking views of the Manhattan skyline.
Every day and night, the Empire State Building was forever putting on a show.
The suite was complete with private laundry facilities neatly tucked into a closet, a modern galley style kitchen with Miele appliances, and two bathrooms. Yes, two bathrooms, in a hotel in Manhattan.
The Master bathroom had clean classic lines, was large, featured marble countertops a double vanity, a deep soaking tub, and separate rainfall shower.
The mirror which ran the length of the master bath, was equipped with a built in television so you wouldn’t miss a thing as you prepped for your evening or day out on the town.
When you’re ready to head out and explore all that New York City has to offer, the Langham Place on Fifth Avenue is the ideal location. Between Bryant Park and the Empire State Building it’s walking distance to world class shopping and attractions. A short stroll to Macy’s, Lord & Taylor, Radio City Music Hall, New York Public Library and a bit of a longer meander to Times Square and Central Park.
Upon returning from your exploration of the city, you must indulge in room service, at least once. It is divine. Looking to get out? There are two distinct dining options at the Langham Place. Measure; featuring luxury comfort fare and Ai Fiori a Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant that celebrates the French and Italian Riviera.
The suite at the Langham Place was everything we could have hoped for. Modern luxury, contemporary style, and an ideal location for exploring all that New York City has to offer. But what really sets The Langham Place New York on Fifth apart is the service. The personalized greetings and genuine care and concern shown for guests. The little touches to make your stay special. Flowers in your room and accompanying room service. A coffee and biscotti set up “to go”, to get your day off to a perfect start. Sweets and treats in the lobby each afternoon. The mini bar re-stocked daily with complimentary sodas and bottles of water. A house car, a beautiful Maserati and a driver, available to drop you off at locations around the city. Turn down service including jazz music, mood lighting and cookies left bedside. Warm smiles, opened doors, and greeting by name. Memories were made at the Langham Place.
In short, the suite was perfection, the service wonderful and the location grand. If you are looking for a little serenity in the city, look no further than the Langham Place on Fifth.

I had the great pleasure of staying at Langham Place last summer, and it reigns as one of the top three hotels I’ve stayed at worldwide. So glad you had such a lovely trip!
Isn’t it fabulous! The style and service are truly top notch. I may have to plan my next romantic getaway around where the Langham’s are located!
What a gorgeous place! I wouldn’t want to leave the room.
I have to admit, as the Mama of two VERY busy teens, and kind of a hectic lifestyle, it was very tempting to jus curl up, shut the curtains and stay in the suite. Oh wait, we did do that one night. Room service here? Ahh-Mazing!
LOVE all the pics and details of your stay. Definitely on my NYC list. I really want to go soon with the family. We have never been.
I’ve now been three times and still haven’t taken my girls! Clearly must fix that soon. So happy you loved my pictures and hope you have a chance to check out this enchaining city soon 🙂
This hotel looks amazing!! Can you tell me how many days you think you need to explore the city?
Such a great question Julie! This was my third trip to NYC , all trips were more than 4 days, and each trip has been completely different. I’d say for your first trip you will want at least three nights/4 days and a plan! So much to see, do and eat, the plan will help you make the most of your time. Feel free to msg me with any questions!
There are simply no words… I am blown away! Thank you for your thorough review. Love your photos, descriptions and now, it’s officially on my travel bucket list!
So happy you loved the review, I know you would adore the hotel and location. Hope you have a chance to head to NYC and the Langham soon!
Holy moly very fancy.
Ah yes, fancy is the way I like it 🙂
What a wonderful, relaxing and fun filled get away you two had! Loved your accommodations! It seems as if it definitely is a 10 star Hotel! Hubby and I are celebrating a very special anniversary in the near future and this might be the perfect place for us to stay!
Now why didn’t I think to call it a 10 star hotel? Gorgeous right? Perfect for a special celebration. Please do let me know if you have any questions. I’d love to help!
What modern, sleek accommodations! Love that fabulous little kitchen! The Empire State Building looks breathtaking. What a great NYC trip.
I loved how they fit that kitchen seamlessly into the suite. Perfect for the couple on the go.
Wow that’s absolutely stunning
It really is and the location was perfect!
Now that looks like a great place to stay. I’ve never been to NYC but I definitely want to go.
I think everyone needs to get to NYC at least…twice! (maybe three times!) Hope you get the chance to explore the big city soon!
Ahhhh! It sounds as if Langham Place is an absolutely wonderful Hotel! A bonus that it’s within walking distance to so much NYC has to offer! This sounds as if it’s my kind of Hotel! Thanks for sharing and I’ll definitely add it to my bucket list!
Happy to help 🙂 The hotel really is wonderful and as it’s centrally located, it’t the perfect location to take in the sites of the city.
Sounds wonderful, have never been to NYC
You must add NYC to your travel bucket list! So much to see and do, especially when you are centrally located 🙂
Wow that looks like an amazing hotel room! Love the bathroom! By the sounds of it you would of been very happy to get there.
It was an adventure and a half to get there and the Hotel was the perfect place to call home for the weekend. And yes, that bathroom may have inspired a bathroom reno. Gorgeous!
I have been toying with the idea of taking the kids to NYC this winter but hated the idea of all of us crammed into a teeny hotel room, this hotel looks amazing!
This takes care of all your worries! I have to add, once I was there, I felt a teeny bit guilty for not taking my girls with me. Guess I will have to go back 🙂
Wow, it’s beyond stunning there! Amazing, would,love to visit New York sometime
Beyond stunning is a fabulous way to describe this hotel. You simply must add NYC and the Langham to your travel bucket list!
