The Langham, London is famed as being Europe’s first ‘Grand Hotel’. This festive season to celebrate its recently completed programme of renovation, The Langham will be offering diners a chance to win a trip to Lapland, the home of St Nicholas, for the most authentic festive season experience.

Diners who make reservations for 4 or more persons in either The Landau, the hotel’s award wining restaurant, or The Langham’s Carriage Rooms, its private dining rooms for up to 40 persons, for the period of 23 November to 31 December inclusive, will automatically be entered into a prize draw.

To qualify, diners must confirm reservations by 30 November and the winner will be selected at random on 1 December.

The prize includes a complimentary overnight stay at The Langham, London on Regent Street, a complimentary transfer to Heathrow airport and two return flights with Finnair to Rovaniemi airport in the Arctic Circle. From Rovaniemi, guests will be collected and transported for one hour through the stunning, snowy landscape, to one of Lapland’s romantic retreats - The Aurora Chalet, for a complimentary two-night stay.

Hotel Aurora Chalet offers a variety of opportunities to savour the unique character of Lapland's wilderness. The theme of the Aurora Chalet is the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. The Aurora Alarm service will inform clients when the Northern Lights are visible in the sky. Guests will enjoy the enchanting ambience of the hotel which offers a cosy wood-cabin feel, with rooms that come complete with their own sauna and fireplace.

“The launch of this competition is perfectly timed for the Christmas office party season, encouraging Londoners to book their Christmas lunch or dinner at The Langham and have a chance to win an amazing trip,” comments Katie Benson, The Langham’s Managing Director and Regional Vice President. “The Landau brings together a potent mix of beautiful design, genuine service and innovative food, which can also be savoured in Postillion and our Private Carriage Rooms.”
