NEW BRAND CAMPAIGN FOR THE LANGHAM HAILS GUEST STORIES FOR ITS FAMED LEGACY

Luxury hotel institution honours those who have shaped its 160-year-long history

Hong Kong, January 2025 – Langham Hospitality Group today unveiled a global campaign for its flagship hotel brand, The Langham Hotels and Resorts, which this year marks its 160th anniversary. Punctuated by the tagline “Your Story. Our Legacy”, the campaign celebrates the lives of the leading artists, architects, athletes, writers, chefs, designers and other cultural icons who have stayed and gathered at The Langham's properties across the world and, in doing, helped form its identity.

The campaign is rooted in history that begins with the founding branch of The Langham in London, which was opened by the then-Prince of Wales in 1865 and has since served as a meeting place for prominent personalities, including Charles Dickens, Winston Churchill, George Orwell, Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain and Napoleon the Third. At the same time, however, The Langham's hotels have been equally welcoming of great minds in earlier stages of their journeys. This philosophy of embracing both new visionaries along with those who have already achieved recognition is essential to the brand's inventive DNA.

"For over a century and a half, The Langham has opened its doors to changemakers and tastemakers who have defined their eras and enriched the cultural landscape," Langham Hospitality Group Chief Executive Officer Bob van den Oord said. "Their stories form the backbone of the brand's legacy, which underpins its stature as an enduring symbol of luxury hospitality. This campaign is not just a tribute to those narratives, but a prelude to the milestone celebrations of The Langham's 160th anniversary happening later this year. It marks the beginning of a celebration to revere the past and define the future of our namesake."

The new campaign will present The Langham to audiences worldwide through a selection of “Langham Luminaries”, whose affinity for the brand has brought them through the doors of its hotels as both guests and revellers. Their stories will serve as exemplars of the way all guests contribute to The Langham's legacy as the setting for life's most unforgettable moments.

The opening phase of the activation will showcase the stories of Hong Kong fencer and two-time gold medallist Cheung Ka-long, and mainland Chinese swimmer and individual medley champion Wang Shun. These will be followed by subsequent phases centred on icons from other professions, including the highly acclaimed photographer, Douglas Friedman; the renowned architect and grandson of Mies van der Rohe, Dirk Lohan; and the remarkably visionary creative directorial duo Laura Kim and Fernando J. Garcia.
