The Sterling Suite THE LANGHAM

The lavish decor from Richmond is second only to the sheer size of the penthouse Sterling Suite. The six-bedroom apartment-style suite is accessed through a private elevator and can be closed off from the main hotel. In the grand living room, a working marble fireplace, unique white dual-tone piano and sumptuous seating await. There’s also a dining room, kitchen and state-of-the-art media room with 72in television. Some of the best details have been saved for the master suite which has its own large sitting area with hand-painted chinoiserie on silverleaf panels, edged in 22K gold moldings. This leads to an elegant bedroom, then through to a glamorous dressing area featuring verre églomisé glass with Gilded Age details and marble bathroom with steam shower. Throughout the suite are furnishings and finishings from the best craftsmen, including Pierre Frey, Barovier & Toso, Baroncelli and Townsend, antique mirrors and artwork from British artists and photographers.
