The Langham, Auckland has welcomed Darren Thurlow as their new hotel manager. Thurlow joins the property most recently from Air New Zealand’s international division but has previously held a range of senior management and operational positions in hotel properties in New Zealand and the United States.

“I am delighted to join The Langham at this exciting time as the hotel brand continues to consolidate in the New Zealand market. I have worked across a number of hotels in Auckland and California, but am very much looking forward to joining The Langham,” said Thurlow.

The Langham, Auckland has been in operation for seven years in January 2012 with over $28 million invested into the property over this period. Major projects such as the construction of the Great Room, Chuan Spa and launch of Eight restaurant, have been just some of the developments undertaken during this time.
