Langham Hotels International Limited, operating under the name Langham Hospitality Group, is a hotel management company based in Hong Kong. It is a fully owned subsidiary of Great Eagle Holdings, a corporation established in 1963 and publicly traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

History

The origins of Langham Hospitality Group date back to 1865 with the inauguration of The Langham hotel in London, recognized as Europe's inaugural 'Grand Hotel'. Distinguished by pioneering features such as hydraulic elevators and individual running water in guest rooms, it received acclaim from the Prince of Wales for its extensive facilities. The hotel ceased operations during World War II and was subsequently utilized by the BBC before being sold to the Ladbroke Group in 1986. It reopened under the name Langham Hilton hotel in 1991.

In 1995, Great Eagle Holdings purchased The Langham and broadened the brand by renaming several properties within its portfolio. Since then, the company has incorporated additional hotel brands into Langham Hospitality Group.
