It consists of:

  • Beluga Caviar and Buckwheat Blini.

Sweet treats include:

This also comes with teas from In Pursuit of Tea, and half a bottle of champagne. As you can see from these images, the food comes in bento boxes.

The Langham hotels have always been a favourite of royalty and celebrities, including Princess Diana, Napoleon III, Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain, and Sir Winston Churchill. Famed author Arthur Conan Doyle even used the hotel as a setting in two of his Sherlock Holmes stories.
