The Langham, Sydney

On Kent Street between Barangaroo and The Rocks, The Langham Sydney keeps things calm in a part of the city that’s usually on the move. The three-storey stay is British ritual meets local character: think marble floors, fresh orchids, and high tea served on Wedgwood china. Rooms come with Frette linens, Diptyque bath products and French doors that open to city or harbour outlooks. Downstairs, the Day Spa by Chuan and its star-lit indoor pool nod to the nearby Observatory, while the art collection (curated with Sotheby’s Australia) grounds the hotel in Australia’s creative story. It’s a quiet address with Walsh Bay theatres, Circular Quay ferries and Barangaroo dining all close enough to reach on foot.

Facilities and services at Langham Sydney

Wellness is central to The Langham Sydney. The Day Spa by Chuan sits below street level, offering treatments that draw on Traditional Chinese Medicine and use BABOR skincare. On certain days, guests can even book IV therapy sessions through a partnership with IV Nation, delivered by registered nurses in a private spa setting. The 20-metre heated indoor pool, lined with pale stone columns and a ceiling lit like a night sky, suits both early swimmers and those who prefer to unwind poolside.

The 24-hour Health Club features cardio and strength equipment, a hot tub and steam rooms, with personal trainers available. Across the road, a championship hard court with floodlights and a clubhouse can be reserved for day or evening matches.

The Sleep Matters by Chuan program focuses on rest through small but practical details: turndown amenities with pillow mist and earplugs, yoga mats or fitness bags in rooms, and tailored spa options. The Wellness Concierge can arrange in-room Pilates, mobility sessions or higher-intensity circuits, supported by nutrition advice and guided routines on the in-room wellness channel.

Art is part of the hotel’s fabric. In partnership with Sotheby’s Australia, the collection features major and mid-career Australian artists, including works by Sir Sidney Nolan.
