THE LANGHAM, LONDON OFFERS A PACKAGE FOR ART LOVERS INCLUDING TICKETS TO THE REAL VAN GOGH EXHIBITION AT THE ROYAL ACADEMY


January 2010

The Real Van Gogh Exhibition at The Royal Academy

From 23 January – 10 April 2010, The Royal Academy of Arts will stage a landmark exhibition of the work of Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890). A contemporary of the artist, The Langham, London was born in the same era, originally opened in 1865 as Europe’s first ‘Grand Hotel’.

As this will be the first major Van Gogh exhibition in London for over forty years, exhibition tickets are likely to be highly coveted, however, The Langham, London is offering guests the opportunity to visit the exhibition in conjunction with an overnight stay with the Van Gogh exhibition package.

The “Art Aficionado Package” will offer overnight accommodation in an elegantly appointed Grand Room, breakfast for two the following morning in Palm Court and 2 tickets to The Real Van Gogh: The Artist and his Letters Exhibition at The Royal Academy of Arts, from £249. The tickets will be issued in a ticket wallet with a Gallery Guide and this will entitle guests on arrival to avoid any queues and gain immediate access to the exhibition. To create a most enchanting memory, guests can also upgrade to a Grand Junior Suite and enjoy a dinner for two in The Landau restaurant from just £449.

The Langham has recently unveiled a substantial programme of refurbishment which has created 380 luxurious guestrooms and suites, stunning new public areas as well as the David Collins designed The Landau restaurant, and Artesian, a glamorous cocktail bar. The dazzling Palm Court is famed as the place where the tradition of afternoon tea was born. This timeless ritual can be savoured with delectable delights including the Bijoux Tea, an indulgent tea with delicate pastry selections inspired by the collections of top jewellery designers of nearby Bond Street.

About The Exhibition - The Real Van Gogh: The Artist and his Letters
The focus of the exhibition will be the artist’s remarkable correspondence. Over 35 original letters, rarely exhibited to the public due to their fragility, will be on display in the main galleries of Burlington House, together with around 65 paintings and 30 drawings that express the principal themes to be found within the correspondence. Thus the exhibition will offer a unique opportunity to gain an insight into the complex mind of Vincent van Gogh.
