THE LANGLEY A LUXURY COLLECTION HOTEL BUCKINGHAMSHIRE L ocated on 150 acres of lush greenery, this 18th-century country house was renovated over a six year period and opened in 2019 as The Langley Hotel. It offers 20 luxurious rooms and another 21 in the Grade II-listed Brew House and has a wonderfully opulent spa. It might just be the perfect getaway. A hunting lodge built by the 3rd Duke of Marlborough in the mid-18th century, The Langley is now part of Marriott's Luxury Collection. The hotel is situated on 150 acres of landscaped parkland, including a serpentine lake, which was partly designed by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown. As guests walk into the hotel's lobby, they're greeted with mosaic flooring, Doric columns, and a bright interior staircase vestibule with glazed domes reminiscent of a BBC period drama. A sister property of one of our favorite London hotels The Wellesley, The Langley has the same well-heeled, refined elegance. The spa complex is simply exceptional. Despite being entirely underground, which means there is no natural light, this is luxury personified, and you may have never encountered anything like it before. Rooms In our wonderful Main House Junior Suite, we had a very comfortable king-size bed and sofa, as well as a walk-in shower in a grey and white marble bathroom. A large window offered a view of the grounds, and we were impressed by the general feeling of luxury and comfort. In addition to a large television, super-soft linens and toiletries from Noble Isle the room was equipped with all the modern conveniences you could hope for. Food & Drink With its mirrored glass ceiling lights and view of the park, Cedar is the plush main restaurant. Dinner was enjoyed from the modern European menu and service was friendly and efficient with a great wine recommendation from the knowledgeable maitre'd. There is an afternoon tea service in the drawing room overlooking the gardens and cigars and crafted cocktails are available in The Churchill bar, named for the SpencerChurchills, the family associated with the Dukedom of Marlborough. Our verdict In terms of quality, this luxury Buckinghamshire hideaway is unrivaled in the UK with its subterranean spa. A luxurious stay awaits you, the gardens are lovely to stroll through, and it is conveniently located near the M25 and Heathrow. With a beautiful outdoor swimming pool and wraparound terrace bar offering panoramic views of Langley Lake, what are you waiting for? Amazing Destinations 124
