Langham Melbourne
Classic European grand hotel — unapologetically old-world, with plush carpets, handcrafted furniture, and a formality that leans closer to London than Sydney. Not trendy, not minimalist. But the level of service and attention to detail make the heritage aesthetic feel intentional rather than dated.
Go for a Deluxe River Room or Terrace Room — the city-side and river views from the upper floors are genuinely spectacular and worth the upgrade
Why It Matters
Ranked #3 on the Condé Nast Traveler UK Readers' Choice Awards 2025 and EarthCheck Platinum Certified. The hotel is perhaps Melbourne's most-awarded luxury property — it's won something every year for over a decade, including being voted the number one city hotel in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific by Travel & Leisure readers. The Kerrie Hess Residence suite (a collaboration with the Brisbane-based illustrator) and the chandelier-draped lobby are genuine talking points.
The Langham Melbourne sits on the Southbank Promenade along the Yarra River, a short walk from Flinders Street Station and the NGV. The lobby announces its intentions immediately: Waterford crystal chandeliers (among the largest in the Southern Hemisphere), towering floral arrangements, and the brand's signature blush pink — even the London cab parked outside is painted to match. Rooms come with marble bathrooms and the brand's signature 'Blissful Bed'; the best ones look straight across to the river and Flinders Street Station.
Where You'll Stay
11 room types available
Chairman Suite
The hotel's top accommodation at 161sqm. Two king bedrooms, an expansive living and dining area, a private office, and views of both the Yarra River and the Melbourne city skyline. Designed for those who need serious space — for entertaining, extended stays, or simply wanting the best the hotel offers.
Two King Beds · 161 sqm
Club Executive River Corner Room
Larger corner room with Yarra River and Southgate views plus full Langham Club access. King bed only. Solid choice for couples wanting space, view, and lounge privileges.
King · 38 sqm
Club Executive River Room
Club-level benefits plus direct Yarra River views. The most popular entry point for guests who want both river aspect and lounge access.
King or Twin · 32 sqm
Club Executive Room
The gateway to The Langham Club — handcrafted furniture, exquisite fabrics, and 32–45sqm depending on the specific room. Club access means complimentary buffet breakfast, afternoon tea, evening canapés, and private check-in. Worth the premium if you value breakfast included.
King or Twin · 38 sqm
Club Executive Terrace Room
The standout room category for those wanting outdoor space. The 38sqm interior is matched by a 45sqm private terrace — enormous for a city hotel — with Melbourne skyline and Southbank precinct views. Located on floors 21–23. Popular from spring through autumn.
King · 38 sqm
Club One-Bedroom Suite
At 74sqm, this suite adds a private study, living space, and in-suite spa bath alongside The Langham Club privileges. Good for solo travelers or couples who want suite-level space without committing to the Chairman or Residence.
King · 74 sqm
Deluxe Balcony Room
The 32sqm room itself is standard Deluxe size, but the 19sqm private balcony is the point. Located on floors 21–23 with city and Melbourne skyline views — one of the few rooms in the hotel with genuine outdoor space for morning coffee.
King · 32 sqm
Deluxe River Corner Room
A step up in space at 38sqm with a corner position giving you wrapped views of both the Yarra River and Southgate. King bed only. Good option if you want more room than the standard Deluxe River without going all the way to a suite.
King · 38 sqmDeluxe River Room
Same 32sqm footprint as the Superior Room but the key difference is the view: you're looking straight out at the Yarra River. Worth the upgrade. Marble bathroom with separate shower and bath.
King or Twin · 32 sqmSuperior Room
The entry-level room at The Langham — compact at 32sqm but well-appointed with elegant furnishings in relaxing tones and plenty of natural light. Marble bathroom with separate shower and bath is the standout feature. Positioned across floors 10–24 with limited or city views.
King or Twin · 32 sqmThe Residence by Kerrie Hess
A two-bedroom private apartment-style suite created in collaboration with Brisbane-based illustrator Kerrie Hess — you're staying inside her art. Pink and white interiors, a fully-equipped kitchenette, two marble bathrooms, a spacious lounge and dining area. The Langham Club partnership began in 2013 and the suite reflects her fashionable, feminine aesthetic throughout.
