LANGHAM Hospitality Group really turned on the hospitality last night with a lavish roadshow in the Tearoom at Sydney’s Queen Victoria Building.
There were scones and strawberry jam, a table of ‘take home as much you want’ gourmet chocolates, lots of French bubbly, and prizes galore for clients and trade partners.
“It’s our way of thanking our customers for their business and support,” said Simon Manning,
vp Sales & Marketing, for Langham.
He told Travel Daily that unlike most hotel companies, Australia is probably number 15 in importance, but for Langham it’s the third biggest seller in the market for outbound Aussies.
“I think people like the underdog in the industry, and at the moment all the key luxury hotel companies are watching us and our expansion because our growth has been quite extraordinary.
In eight years, we now have nineteen hotels on four continents and no one has done that, that quickly,” added Manning.
H said that the group has added 2,100 rooms in North America with the opening of new hotels in Manhattan and Chicago, complimented by two other hotels in Boston and LA.
“With our touch of pink colour and our two principal brands, Langham and Langham Place, we like to say we’re painting the world pink in an elegant and very sophisticated way.” |
