THE LANGHAM HOTELS... are places rooted in the traditions, pomp, circumstance, and elegance of days gone by, even as they keep an eye on new ways to serve guests, fresh ways to make events more memorable, and future ways to bring that Langham panache to people calling upon their properties. But how to revisit those "days gone by," without entering an actual time machine? There are wonderful ways that the hotels stay connected to their histories and one another. Look to The Langham Huntington, Pasadena, which will be honoring the opening of The Langham London via a special tea service. And while that tea is taking place on Sunday, June 10, 2018 it will hearken back several years, to 1865, when the luxurious London hotel first debuted. There's no need to don your Victorian best, but you can make reservations for the...
ANNIVERSARY TEA: It's the "the signature Chocolate Afternoon Tea with a special Langham-themed cookie," if you're wondering, but if you want to go the full swanky route, opt for the "elevated Anniversary Tea," priced at $186.50, in homage to the London hotel's opening year. That will include a caviar course, as well as "gold leaf desserts, themed cookie, and a glass of Perrier Jouet in stunning Wedgwood toasting flutes, which are yours to take home." How to make sure you have a spot in this Pasadena-UK meet-up of stylish proportions? Call the hotel at 626-585-6218.
AND IF YOU DO ADORE... the Pasadena destination's London ties, take note: The hotel, like its sister properties, recently entered into a partnership with Hunter Boots, makers of old-school Wellies. If you've longed for a great pair of boots in Langham pink — that's Pantone 706, of course — they're available in adult and children's sizes, at $150 and $80, respectively. Inquire at the hotel gift shop on your next visit.
