The Langham Chicago

The Langham Chicago is the most spa-distinguished and architecturally distinctive Forbes Five-Star luxury hotel in the city, a property occupying the lower floors of Mies van der Rohe's landmark IBM Building on the Chicago River whose Chuan Spa, riverfront position, and Langham brand's Asian-influenced luxury sensibility have made it one of the most celebrated and architecturally significant hotel openings in Chicago's modern hospitality history. The river views, the quality of the spa program, and the Langham brand's commitment to refined luxury without the formality of the traditional grand hotel give it a positioning that is simultaneously more contemporary and more intimate than the Peninsula or the Four Seasons. For planners booking the most spa-focused and architecturally distinguished luxury programs in Chicago, where the building itself is part of the design story and the spa is expected to be a centerpiece of the group experience, The Langham is the most compelling and visually distinctive answer in the market. Similar properties worth benchmarking include The Peninsula Chicago and Four Seasons Chicago.
