Classic Langham is
young at heart
What we love about Langham Hotels
and Resorts is, even though it has a
lineage going back to 150 years, the
brand stays young at heart. Take its pet
programmes, offered in Sydney, the only
pet-friendly accommodation among the
city’s luxury hotels, and in Pasadena, Los
Angeles. Expect your client’s best friend
to enjoy doggie dining, canine massages
and a dedicated newsletter which
highlights activities they both can enjoy
at the hotel and around town.
At The Langham, Huntington,
Pasadena, children can also learn all
the essential skills of enjoying a proper
afternoon tea at a special Etiquette
Tea with certified instructor Nancy
Hoogenboom of Daily Etiquette. Served of
course in signature Langham Wedgwood
tea crockery. Sooooo adult! Go to Langham
booth to find out its other creative ideas.

Fancy having the flexibility of holding
events over water. The Ritz-Carlton,
Millenia Singapore can’t wait to show
you its latest idea which allows planners
to hold events on its pool which can
be partially or completely covered
with transparent Plexiglas-top cubes.
Engineered to support weights of up to
800kg per cube, the cubes can be custom-
built to take on various shapes, from a
rectangle, to a square or even a T-shape
to accommodate the entire length and or
width of the pool, or just a portion to suit
a variety of purposes.
These include a car or product launch,
a pool party, an outdoor concert with
a dance floor, a fashion show or even a
wedding. The outdoor atmosphere can be
accentuated by video projection mapping,
LED lighting in the trees and foliage,
and underwater lighting. Go to B120 to
