Travellers' Choice
Langdon Hall offers a quiet and peaceful environment best suited for romantic get-aways that require an elegant setting. As a member of the prestigious Relais & Chateaux association, the property prides itself on creating a unique experience brimming with all the charm, character, cuisine, calm and courtesy you would find at the finest Relais & Chateaux property. Located one hour west of Toronto, Langdon Hall was built as a magnificent summer home in 1898 for the granddaughter of John Jacob Astor of New York City, a gentlemen who made his fortune in several areas of business including the Waldorf Astoria, the greatest hotel of its era. In 1987 Langdon Hall began its transformation into a hotel and now offers 60 guest suites, a full service spa, the only five-diamond award wining restaurant in Ontario. In addition to the main dining room the property features a casual bar and private dining rooms featuring wood-burning fireplaces, and 75 acres of expansive gardens and trails. For three consecutive years the readers of Conde Nast Traveller selected Langdon Hall as the number one hotel in Canada. Nearby amenities include championship style golf course, canoeing, theatre, horseback riding, biking and hiking.

We recently spent 2 nights at Langdon Hall. We stayed in the old, original building, which is quite charming in an old school way. The amenities and the friendly staff make it easy to not leave the grounds. However, this is an upscale resort, and one should expect an upscale experience. First, the room. It was quite nice: well furnished, with plenty of room and storage. However, the bed with of the soft side for my wife and my taste, bordering on lumpy. It was not a comfortable sleep. Our sleep was interrupted by hammering sounds coming from the ceiling above us. They were not caused by people walking (although we did hear those too), but rather sounds like doors shutting or water hammering. We commented about the noise the next morning and were told our room was haunted: how does one discuss alleviating noise when you are told ghosts are making the disturbance! The next night we slept with ear plugs, but were awaken about 1 am with the smell of smoke in the room. We called the front desk thinking perhaps there was a fire, and were told guests had built fires in their room fireplaces (this despite temperatures in the 90s F during the day). We were offered an "air purifier," which we took: it turned out to be a plastic bucket filled with scented pellets with a fan attached. Within a few minutes we had a room filled with a deodorant smoke smell (we returned the purifier). We were offered another room, but it was well after midnight, and we went back to bed in our room. The food and wine at the resort were good. We ate all our meals there. However, the service was at times underwhelming. The first night we were there, we had an 8 pm reservation for dinner. After being seated, we were quickly served drinks and an appetizer. Our dinner eventually came around 10:30 pm. At 11 pm, I went to bed without dessert, and my 3 companions said the final course arrived in time for an 11:20 departure. This was too leisurely for a pleasant dinner. However, I do wish to comment on the wine tasting that was held in the late afternoon. It was provided by one of the sommeliers at the restaurant. It was enjoyable, educational, and highlight of my stay. Also, the wine service at the restaurant was also quite good; we were provided with knowledgeable, helpful suggestions for pairing of wines with the food. All in all, I would definitely avoid rooms on the second floor if you are at all noise sensitive. …

This is a review for February 2021. Love the rooms in the cloister buildings. The fireplace is wonderful for winter stays. The hotel had little fire pit areas set up outside, romantic trails around the property. 5 star dinner/breakfasts (much improved from previous stays) and service in dining rooms. Don't hesitate to get the dinner/breakfast package. It's worth every penny. Over the years we have returned to this hotel because of the rooms and the added bonus of top notch meals. Hope to come back soon.

Restaurant only. Food quality excellent. Portion sizes unbelievably small to the point of being ridiculous. My lobster appetizer was four small pieces of lobster and 20 or so peas ($30) my chicken serving was literally the size of a small chicken wing ($53). Add two glasses of wine etc $270. Redeeming feature is the food quality which was wonderful. If this was a five course tasting menu the portion sizes would have been ok but we left the restaurant hungry and very unsatisfied.

Our second visit to Langdon Hall. Definitely, it is a quiet hidden gem. An "old English/stately" type setting. i believe Sarah Richardson from HGTV designed property. The staff are friendly, professional and put customer service as a top priority. The dining options are expensive but you certainly get top quality over quantity. We love to walk and enjoy the trail options. My only suggestion would be better signage on the trail and clearing a more visible path. I understand not wanting to distract from the natural beauty, yet walking trail maintenance would improve the experience. The hotel grounds are stunning with pool, gardens, open-air sitting, spa tennis, etc. Langdon Hall is certainly not your typical hotel experience. It is expensive but worth it. All depends on your needs and wants on a hotel stay. …

Beautiful grounds, lovely and professional staff, delicious food, comfy and clean room. The gardens outside, which we toured with a great guide, are used to grow local fare that is used in the kitchens. Delicious evening cocktails.

First there is the great country-house lawn, looking British enough to host the Queen's garden party. At its far end, red-bricked and multi-pillared, stands an imposing mansion -- looking not British, but so American that you half expect Vivien Leigh to be waving from its immense front steps 😊. The house is stunning with a variety of gorgeous sitting rooms to sit and enjoy a drink or a game of backgammon. Yes, it is surrounded by hectares of hiking and cross-country trails, on grounds that offer you a better chance of spotting a deer or red fox or rabbit than of running across a fellow guest. The food was absolutely exceptional - a visual and sensory feast with every bite on the plate packed with delicious flavor and impeccable seasoning, thank you to Executive Chef Jason Bangerter. There are the gardens, planted, in the best British traditions, to give the Hall's impressive kitchen a steady supply of fresh ingredients. Thank you Nate, the garden tour was amazing and very informative. The spa has a lovely hot tub, steam room and sauna (shared /co-Ed) and the massages were excellent. Thank you very much to Sorin, the dinning room Maitre D, very knowledgeable, pleasant and approachable. Many thanks to Mihai, he helped us with our luggage and lots of important information. Thank you team for an amazing weekend, we are definitely going to book again …

Langdon Hall is a magnificent Gilded Age Neo Colonial pile of a country house surrounded by two newer wings situated on 75 acres of manicured garden and walking trails just a few minutes outside of Cambridge. The nearest city most Americans could locate (maybe) is Toronto, about 80 minutes to the east. Rooms and service here are very nice and the working gardens and pool must be lovely in the summer months. For chilly months, the working in-room fireplaces are a treat. The restaurant is very capable, and we had a great waiter, but the atmosphere there felt barren and ad hoc in comparison to the rest of the hotel. The kitchen pulled off several impressive culinary feats, but turned out a few other dishes that weren't very interesting. I wouldn't recommend a special visit here simply to dine (unless in the area), save for the wine list: It's a beauty. 18,000 bottles, many pretty special. On the other hand, LH has a great bar that also offers casual dining. Don't miss the excellent croissants at breakfast either. My friends liked the spa. Finally, Langdon Hall is somewhat reasonably priced for a Relais Chateaux and would make a great weekend getaway. There is some corporate conference business during the week.…

We live 3 miles from Langdon Hall and yet it is still our "go to" place for a mini break.For the last several years we treat ourselves to a couple of nights of luxury, the in room wood burning fireplace, a great spa and most importantly amazing food! Special thanks to Sarah in the Wilks bar and Sam our dining server and of course Virg to oversee all good things in the dining area.
