Langham Hotels International Limited is wholly owned by Great Eagle Holdings, which was founded in 1963 and is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Ten stories and 156 feet high, The Langham featured 15,000 yards of Persian tapestry, hot and cold running water in every guestroom, the world's first hydraulic lifts, known as 'rising rooms', and even an early form of air-conditioning.

Upon opening The Langham, the then Prince of Wales hailed the hotel as having "everything a man, woman or child could desire under one roof".

Great Eagle used the 'Langham' brand to rebadge a number of hotels in its portfolio, thus creating the Langham Hospitality Group.

Great Eagle Holdings invests in, develops and manages office, retail, residential and hotel properties in Asia, North America and Europe.
