Program is calendar year based, so the nights/stays earned in this year determines your status next year.
Consecutive nights are always counted as one stay, regardless of guest checks in and out.
Tiers
Gateway
Upgrade: 3 stays or 9 nights
Renewal: 1 stay or 3 nights (unclear how to achieve 3 nights without fulfilling the 1 stay criteria, but this is how the rules are communicated)
Notable perk: Fruit and bottled water upon arrival
Voyager
Upgrade: 5 stays or 15 nights
Renewal: 2 stays or 6 nights
Notable perk: Upgrade at check-in (subject to availability, Club access never included even if upgraded to "club room"), 1 personalised welcome gift
Destiny
Invite only, probably revenue based, targeted to top 1% of customers
Notable perk: Limousine transfer (one way), 2 personalised welcome gifts
For members of Voyager and Destiny tier, one complimentary suite upgrade is earned after 5 stays or 15 nights. The actual voucher is difficult to obtain and to use, see post 173.
Status-matches
Unknown if 1865 does matches, but off and on they offer complimentary tiers to different card holders.
A few FF program (eg BAEC) offers comped 1865 status
In december 2016 new rules were introduced. Newspaper perk was removed Tier qualification was changed so that it can be earned by nights aswell as by stays.
1865 PRIVILEGE ENHANCEMENTS
Best Rate Guarantee
1) Respective hotel will verify and approve/deny the BRG claim.
2) Must match room type and rate type.
Langham Place Xiamen
1) Seems to provide Club L access to Voyager and above members. Need verification.

New Brilliant by Langham loyalty program is interesting to say the least - not much information on requalificarion each year. As a previous 1865 Destiny member I was “gifted” mid tier Diamond status in the new program - essentially worthless and no real benefits except some extra points.
At least gift the same tier that includes room upgrades, amenities & LCO - switching all Langham/Cordis stays to Marriott and Hyatt is looking even more likely now

Me too! I was gifted Diamond status as well. However, the funny thing is - I've had a Langham 1865 membership for a while, but never actually stayed at a Langham property - not even once. I do have 1 upcoming night though.

I recieved communication sometime ago about the change, but then nothing. It seems I wasn't gifted any status, and they didn't even transfer my account to the new program.
Fair enough, my Voyager status had expired long ago, but I was surprised over the termination of my account.
