Langham flags KI resort

LANGHAM Hospitality Group is set to further expand its Australian footprint, with ceo Robert Warman this morning confirming the company is looking at a new Langham Resort on South Australia’s iconic Kangaroo Island.

It’s early days yet for the project, with Warman telling

Travel Daily nothing is confirmed at this stage, but if the project proceeded it would be the first Langham Resort in the country.

Other developments announced by Warman today include the $120 million renovation of the Langham Melbourne.

The upgrade will take place beginning next year and will “completely transform the hotel into one of the best in the world,” Warman promised.

The company’s previously announced development in Adelaide’s Glenelg ( TD 20 Jan) will be branded as a Langham Hotel, he confirmed, rather than the previously announced Langham Place brand.

Also new for Langham in the region is the major makeover of the Langham Auckland, which will become the Cordis Auckland when it relaunches on 01 Nov 17.

The Cordis brand is described as a “new generation of selected upper upscale modern hotels” catering to both business and leisure travellers.
