Ritz-Carlton Huntington To Become a Langham Hotel
In the new year, the Ritz-Carlton Huntington Hotel & Spa will get a new name and new owners. Starting January 8th, the hotel will be referred to as the Langham, Huntington Hotel & Spa.
The Pasadena hotel will become part of Langham Hotels International, a luxury hotel group owned by Hong Kong-based Great Eagle Holdings, a Ritz-Carlton spokesman said today.
Staff members of the 392-room hotel were meeting today to discuss the transition, which is expected to have minimal immediate effect on guests, said Vivian Deuschl, vice president of public relations for Ritz-Carlton Hotel Co.
Indeed Langham Hotels, while a smaller chain (only 8 properties), has a few luxury properties under its belt, namely the Hong Kong hotel with its sushi turndown.
This hotel used to be owned by the Los Angeles County Employees Retirement Assn. but when staffers complained of working them too hard, we guess they dumped the property. Let's hope Langham treats the staffers with more respect.
