I'm new to this program thanks to an Eaton Chelsea Toronto (formerly Delta Chelsea) status match to Voyager from Delta Plat+ . Never been at one of their properties but its a nice gesture from Langham so I'll try them. Will see if the Toronto location changed much in the transition.

Having looked at your link, started to get concerned regarding my benefits as a "regular" Voyager member..
Clicked back to the "Membership" tab and everything was right with the world, well there's the mileage accelerator but I was more concerned about the omission of the upgrade availed to regular Voyager members... |

That's a good question, wonder if anybody have experienced it yet. Here's some questions I can think of:
1) Do we get the voucher automatically after meeting the requirements? Or do we have to request for it? 2) Paper voucher or online voucher? 3) Expiration date of the voucher? 4) How do we use it? Key-in a code during booking or have to call the hotel direct for reservations? 5) Does the suite upgrade lasts for entire stay? I just received free Voyager status from the new Eaton Chelsea in Toronto and my paper suite upgrade voucher expires Dec 15 2013 although I received it June 28 so within the calendar year. Has a code to offer at booking. Terms - Paid Stay up to three nights - Subject to Availability - Advance reservation must be made directly with the property - Intention to use the voucher must be made at time of booking - Non transferrable |

The Langham, Xintiandi, Shanghai - Review
First time staying here and all the reviews on Tripadvisor does not lie. Fantastic service throughout from everyone I've met and spoken to, briefly or otherwise.
Was here for 2 separate stays in corner rooms 1501 & 1601 overlooking the sprawling city. There's a control panel by the bedside to control most of the room functions including lighting and curtains. Comfy sofa and a nice King bed with well placed furniture fills up the corner room nicely. Don't forgot the spacious bathroom and high tech toilet seat. Breakfast at the Cachet restaurant in the lobby had a nice spread with something for everyone. Tried the Tiffin High Tea Set for 2 and I definitely recommend it! P.S. I booked a regular Grand Room but was not offered any upgrades during check-in. I politely asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available and after checking availability they moved me to a corner room (which was the next category). I did tried their Best Rate Guarantee claim but wasn't successful. Pictures |
Received my 1865 "welcome pack" today - having applied for it in May via a credit card offer.
I must say it's the nicest looking presentation I've seen of the hotel programs that I'm a member of. Even the wife asked where hers was... But no suite upgrade voucher as mentioned by Points Surfer - however wasn't expecting it, having not earned it yet ;) |

Langham Chicago to open in Historic Mies Van der Rohe Building
Sandwiched between the silvery curvature of the Trump tower and the twin corncob structures of Marina City, the former IBM Building, a starkly rectilinear monolith designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, becomes home this week to one of the world's swankiest hotel brands. The Langham, Chicago, a posh 316-room inn carved out of floors 2 to 13 of the 52-story office building at 330 N. Wabash Ave., will open its doors Wednesday, with the intention of taking on Chicago's highest echelon of hotels, including its soaring neighbor along the Chicago River, the Trump International Hotel & Tower. "Trump has been very successful there, and that really gave us a lot of confidence in that location," said Brett Butcher, CEO of Langham Hospitality Group. "It's good to have competition around you. It makes you better, don't you think?" The management company, and its Hong Kong-based parent, Great Eagle Holdings, the project's owner, are taking a big gamble. Great Eagle is investing about $250 million, with the aim of converting the former office space into ultraluxe accommodations that can command $400 a night for guest rooms and $6,000 a night for its fanciest suite. While its brand is known and highly respected in Europe and Asia, Langham is a relative newcomer in North America. In the Chicago market, it is up against formidable rivals, notably the Trump, the Peninsula, the Four Seasons and the Waldorf Astoria. The five-star contender is coming to market after a lull in hotel construction, but the pipeline is filling up, which could boost downtown supply by about 10 percent over the next few years. And its design choices already are generating intense scrutiny within Chicago's architecture community, with some questioning whether it sufficiently keeps with Mies' modernist style. |
tried to apply today and the server timed out on me. Hopefully this is just a temporary outage.

scratch that.
Looks like it is fixed now ^ |
2 new Langham properties for Bangkok?
So I was doing some totally unrelated research on the interwebs when I came across some information regarding 2 new Langham properties to be established in BKK.
* The Langham Bangkok Sukhumvit * Langham Place Phyathai Bangkok And a third Thai property in Phuket: Langham Place Miora Resort + Spa, Kalim Bay This discovery has now distracted my otherwise productive unrelated research. Anyone else have any info regarding the above? I'd be rather chuffed if they do come to fruition as it would make my annual requalification for Voyager a fait accomplis :D Further distractive searching reveals that it was "scheduled" to open last year with the last available media showing a date of 2011. Has this gone tits up or is it the usual thainess construction delays? |
Anyone has experience with Langham's Best Rate Guarantee Program?
I filed a BRG claim last week and they still have not replied to me. |
