History
The Langham, Boston is a Renaissance Revival style building constructed in 1922 to house the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. 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.
Formerly the Governor's Reception room, The Wyeth Room contains two historic N.C. Wyeth murals. The room also has four large lamps with gold coin emblems that were previously at the Pearl Street entrance. The Governor's Rooms contain 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.
Features
The Langham has 318 rooms, including 17 suites, several restaurants, a spa and meeting space. Rooms facing Pearl Street overlook Norman B. Leventhal Park at Post Office Square.
