Background:

The Langham Hotel London is an historic hotel dating back to 1865 when it was the first hotel in Europe to be classed as a Deluxe Grand Hotel and the first in London to feature air-conditioning. The original grand opening was by the Prince of Wales, later to become King Edward VII and it followed two years of construction from 1863. At the time of opening it was the largest hotel in London. Notably electric lights in the entrance and courtyard were installed in 1879 (first London hotel to have electricity). The hotel closed during World 11 after being hit during a German bombing raid. The BBC had, and still have, headquarters on the opposite side of the road. After the war they used the building for accommodation as well as filming. In 1986 the building was sold to the Ladbrokes Group for twenty Six Million pounds and Ladbrokes went on to buy the non-USA arm of the Hilton group. On March 4th 1991 the hotel reopened in its former Victorian opulent glory after a total rebuild during a one hundred million pound rebuild under the Hilton brand. Now owned by Langham Hotels International.
Memories Restaurant, Tsar's restaurant and bar and Chukka Bar closed in 2006.
First hotel to offer traditional afternoon tea shortly after its opening in 1865. Way back then the price was 1/6d (equivalent of 7 1/2 pence).

Reporters claim to have seen the ghost of Emperor Napoleon III and a German prince who died by jumping out of a fourth-floor window. Emperor Napoleon III lived at the hotel during his last days in exile and has been said to occupy the basement.
The England cricket team have complained of strange things happening at the hotel with Stuart Broad claiming lights and taps turned themselves on and off in 2014 forcing him to change rooms
