Our Story
The Landon Hotel was founded in 1952, by Arthur Landon, an English businessman who had spent the better part of his early career traveling the world. Because of his extensive travel, Mr. Landon had become a connoisseur of hotels. He craved staying in hotels that took on the essence of the local environment, but could rarely find ones that met his exacting requirements. While he enjoyed staying in bed and breakfasts, because they tended to exude more of the local flavor, he also missed the exquisiteness and luxury found in the premier international hotels. Inspired by his desire to fill an obvious gap in the hotel industry, Mr. Landon set out to start his first hotel. He was not a wealthy man, but had learned to save and invest along the way. With those funds, Mr. Landon renovated an historical apartment building in the West End neighborhood of London and the Landon was born. Within a couple years, his charming little hotel was getting rave reviews and investors came calling. Over the next ten years, the Landon hotel empire exploded across Europe and North America. The values that Mr. Landon held so dear to his heart, were evidently values that appealed to travelers the world over. The Landon advertised luxurious modern comforts and conveniences, backed by warm, sincere customer service, where guests were treated as friends. Mr. Landon, himself, liked to say “We’re upscale, not uppity - and refined, not pretentious.” But, most importantly, The Landon philosophy all came down to mirroring the individuality of each neighborhood within the walls of the hotel. With so many hotels within in his realm, Mr. Landon was adamant that none of the hotels should look alike, but instead that they must each take on the personality of their individual locations. He remained ardently true to his original vision until the day he died in August 1998. Today, the Landon is located in 20 countries and 400 neighborhoods, around the world. Each hotel gives a glimpse into the unique culture and vibe of its locale. Some of the most popular and eclectic locations are as follows: San Francisco, Bernal Heights; Paris, Latin Quarter of the 6th Arrondissement; Vienna, Eighth District: The Josefstadt; London, West End; Tokyo, Business District; Munich, Schwabing; Hong Kong, Kwun Tong; Los Angeles, Downtown; New York City, Manhattan.
