History

The Langham, Boston is a Renaissance Revival style building constructed in 1922 to house the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.[2] The building was designed by R. Clipston Sturgis based on the Palazzo della Cancelleria, in Rome, with its granite exterior, life-size equestrian statues, and painted dome ceiling. See further description in the Boston Landmarks Commission Report

Formerly the Governor's Reception room, The Wyeth Room contains two historic N.C. Wyeth murals. See further description in the Boston Landmarks Commission Report The Member's Court room contains a Norman B. Leventhal Map collection of historic Massachusetts maps. As the hotel was previously a bank, the ground floor has narrow windows to help discourage unwanted intruders. The original entry doors from Pearl Street still contain the gold coin moldings, and the bank vault is now used as a pastry kitchen.

Le Meridien Hotels managed the hotel from its opening in 1981 through December 31, 2003 when Langham Hotels assumed control.[3]

Features

The Langham has 312 residentially styled guest rooms and suites with Italian marble bathrooms, two new dining destinations; The Fed, a charming British-inspired cocktail pub with a New England twist, and GRANA, an Italian destination restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and weekend brunch. The hotel is home to a stunning new club lounge on the 8th floor overlooking Norman B. Leventhal Park and redesigned meeting space, including two ballrooms with natural light and dedicated boardrooms for high level meetings and dinners.
