Langham Hospitality continues its expansion in Mainland China with the opening of Langham Place Changsha, its 13th hotel in the Middle Kingdom.

The 295-room hotel is located within the expansive Da Wang Shan Resort, southwest of Changsha, and promises a unique MICE offering amidst stunning natural landscapes.

Designed by renowned international architect Wolf D. Prix of Coop Himmelblau, the pioneer of contemporary architecture in exploration and deconstructivism, and whose award-winning designs include Musee des Confluences in Lyon, France; Busan Cinema Centre in South Korea and BMW Welt, the iconic hotel tower is specially designed with a highly economical system providing state-of-the-art sun shading and natural ventilation.

The hotel interiors, which include 295 guest rooms and suites, are thoughtfully planned to accommodate both business and leisure travellers. Rooms range from a spacious 36 square meters to a generous 255 square metres for the Presidential Suite. Each room is equipped with The Langham’s famous blissful bed, and furnished with a warm, neutral colour palette. French windows provide a 180-degree view of the rivers and lakes surrounding the property, providing a much welcome breather from busy city life.

The hotel offers three different dining concepts to suit all discerning palates. The Place is a vibrant all-day dining restaurant, offering a widespread buffet selection and an à la carte menu featuring international cuisines. In addition, Ming Court is inspired by its Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant counterparts in Hong Kong and Shanghai and will present diners with a fine-dining experience, featuring the freshest seasonal ingredients in an elegant setting. Peak, the bar located at the highest level of the hotel, offers a panoramic view of the Xiangjiang Happy City and Changsha’s city skyline. The destination bar is the ideal menu for pre-dinner drinks, after-hours cocktail or a gathering with friends.

A tradition first started at The Langham, London in 1865, English afternoon tea will be served to guests at The Salon. Guests may indulge in a bespoke version of the afternoon tea experience where specialty teas are served, accompanied by delicate savoury and sweet delicacies created by the talented pastry team.

A venue for key events and meetings, the Langham Place Changsha features more than 2,000 square metres of space for conferences and events, including a 1,100 square metre pillar-less Grand Ballroom with natural lighting, and the Yuelu Ballroom, a 360 square metre independent pre-function room. The Grand Ballroom and Yuelu Ballroom both have separate entrances, providing guests with direct access to the venues.

For guests seeking a soothing respite, the award-winning Chuan Spa is an urban wellness sanctuary to pamper and restore balance to the mind, body and soul. The Spa focuses on holistic treatments integrating the principles of traditional Chinese medicine using the five elemental forces of wood, fire, earth, metal and water. A fully-equipped fitness centre and indoor swimming pool with a vast skylight are also available for the health and fitness needs of guests.

“We are very proud to introduce Langham Place, Changsha to the city and manage this new landmark hotel within this dynamic entertainment complex,” says Stefan Leser, chief executive officer of Langham Hospitality Group. “The arrival of our brand and the opening of this stunning hotel will further enhance the guest’s experiences at Dawang Mountain Resort and this historically rich city of Changsha.”

Changsha is the capital city of Hunan province. It is right at the heart of the transportation hub of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, connecting major centres including Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Kunming, Chongqing and Xiamen. The city plays a vital role in commerce, manufacturing, transportation and innovation in the region.
