The Langham Hotels and Resorts’ year-long 160th anniversary celebrations drew to a close last week in Hong Kong.

Langham Hospitality Group (LHG) held a glittering gala event attended by hotel owners, business leaders, artists, cultural figures and long-standing partners. The event featured performances by Grammy Award-winning violinist Joshua Bell and renowned Chinese musical theatre actor and producer Ayanga, both of whom have been named Langham Luminaries under the brand’s Your Story Our Legacy marketing campaign, with young musicians from the Great Eagle Music Children Ensemble also taking to the stage.

“For 160 years, The Langham has been a stage where artistry, culture, and society come together,” said LHG Chief Executive Officer, Bob van den Oord. “From the literary greats who once walked the halls of The Langham, London, to the luminaries who inspire us today, the brand has always been defined by those who make their mark on it. “Our anniversary gala clearly reflected that legacy and set the tone for the next chapter in The Langham’s story.”

The Langham’s global portfolio continues to expand with landmark development projects, involving both heritage and new-build properties, in the pipeline, including The Langham, Custom House, Bangkok (2026), The Langham Venice (2027), The Langham, Kuala Lumpur, and The Langham, Diriyah (2029). LHG is also focused on enhancing The Langham’s existing portfolio, with a sweeping renovation now underway at The Langham, Pasadena, and expansive refurbishments planned for the brand’s Shanghai and Melbourne hotels.
