At Langham Hotels International we not only oversee and orchestrate the successful performance of our own hotels, we also provide management services to our operating partners.

An exciting alternative option for hotel owners

Langham's fast-expanding international hotel portfolio heralds an exciting alternative for discerning hotel owners looking to re-establish their hotel's luxury positioning, or seeking an alternative to multi-tiered hotel management companies.

Our mandate is to work with prospective partners who own five-star hotels or properties with the potential and intent to upgrade to the luxury hotel category.

Uniquely, Langham pledges a management commitment that seeks to protect the property as well as the brand. We are in the business of building longstanding, mutually trusting relationships - not arrangements of temporary convenience.

Our only requirement of partners is ambition

Young and energetic, Langham Hotels International is looking for potential partners with ambition - the ambition to be among the best, the ambition to be unique and the ambition to be part of an exclusive hotel family now expanding its presence across the globe, from Europe and North America to Asia and the Pacific.

With its wealth of international property and hotel management experience, Langham is uniquely positioned to build on its five-star heritage, and with its tailor-made management solution, to help its partners achieve their ambitions with ease.
