The Langham brand is the embodiment of the
sense of enchantment fostered by the original 'Grand Hotel' -
The Langham, London.
Much of what exists in each of our hotels today bears the
hallmarks of what made our first hotel so special. We were at
the forefront of creating new hospitality experiences back in
the 19th century, and we remain so today.
Our luxury hotel group exudes a graceful and timeless elegance,
presenting classic themes accented with personality... and a
certain quirky charm.
Our staff engages guests with a natural finesse that bears the
seal of our heritage: always anticipating their needs, but never
obtrusive.
Indeed, The Langham family of luxury hotels offers each guest an
experience of impeccable hospitality, handcrafted and refined
for over 140 years.
Brand Environment Policy or
Program:
As an environmentally and socially responsible organization,
Langham Hotels International (LHI) recognizes the potential
impact of its activities on the environment, within local
communities and the tourism industry at large. Thus we advocate,
embrace and practice sustainable business development.
We acknowledge the importance of the role we play as a global
hotelier, in managing our operations ethically whilst generating
a genuine appreciation for the environment. Programs such as
'Guests of the Earth' demonstrate our commitment to sharing this
vision with all of our guests.
At LHI we also recognize the importance of applying holistic
management plans, policies and strategies that seek to highlight
the three fundamental components of good sustainable business
practice: environmental protection, economics and social equity.
We believe that sustainability is not a destination but a
lifelong journey, with each program and practice leading to many
more exciting and rewarding challenges and benefits. As a global
company, we initiate this journey at all of our sites, and look
forward to improving the efficiency of our operations whilst
minimizing our footprint on the environment and learning to be
better environmental stewards.
In terms of operating plans and policies, we have reviewed
international research and identified the following areas of
focus so as to obtain verifiable improvement and results:
• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
• Energy efficiency
• Management of freshwater resources
• Ecosystem conservation management
• Air quality protection and noise control
