Langham Place, Fifth Avenue

Langham Place, Fifth Avenue Review

Setting new standards for luxury, the towering, limestone-clad Langham Place, Fifth Avenue (formerly the Setai Fifth Avenue), was conceived as an opulent crash pad for wealthy overseas tourists, captains of industry on long-term stays, and anyone in need of some serious pampering. Every detail has been attended to, beginning with an intimate lobby in onyx, leather, and glass, where you'll be greeted by your "service stylist" (no old-school concierges here), who will attend to your every whim and desire. Standard rooms begin at a spacious 700 square feet and have touches like giant hardwood closets and huge bathrooms with expansive rain showers and soaking tubs. The huge spa has an ice room, a Turkish-style hammam, and individual waiting areas for treatment rooms. Chef Michael White is behind the stove at Michelin-starred Ai Fiori.
