New Look For Top New Zealand Ballroom
The Langham Hotel Auckland’s eminent Rangitoto Ballroom has been updated in line with the 2006 refurbishment of the hotel.

The walls of the grand ballroom have been lined with sumptuous Italian La Scala Moon-Stone fabric and opulent Egyptian ornate gilded mirrors befitting the Langham’s international style.

Over the years the Rangitoto Ballroom has been enjoyed by greats including Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Colin Meads, Chinese President Hu Jintao, INXS, Olivia Newton-John, Prince Charles, Prince Edward, and authors Anthony Bordain, Jodi Picoult and Alexander McCall Smith.
