Langham Hospitality Group recently named Michel Roux the latest Langham Luminary for The Langham Hotels & Resorts’ global campaign “Your Story. Our Legacy.” Roux reflects on his family’s connection to The Langham as he leads a personal culinary exploration through London, the city that defined much of his career and continues to nurture his craft.

Born into a famed culinary family, Roux led his family’s acclaimed Le Gavroche restaurant for more than three decades, upholding its legacy as the first restaurant in the United Kingdom to achieve the triple distinction of one, two and three Michelin stars. He has fronted much-loved worldwide television programs including Kitchen Impossible, Michel Roux’s French Country Cooking and Five Star Kitchen: Britain’s Next Great Chef. His decade-long consultancy has been instrumental in shaping The Langham London’s culinary identity, from restaurant concepts and in-room dining to its signature Afternoon Tea.

The Langham London offers Sauce by The Langham, a cookery school offering Building Block classes and Masterclasses for a fun way to learn new skills. Roux teaches an exclusive masterclass sharing his favorite seasonal dishes; the class also includes a signed copy of his latest cookbook; welcome tea, coffee and juices; a glass of Champagne; three-course meal; and more. Other culinary classes cover pasta and bread making, cocktails and a puff pastry workshop, alongside others.

“Michel Roux’s passion for food, dedication to culinary craft and long-standing relationship with The Langham make him a natural addition to our Langham Luminaries lineup,” said Bob van den Oord, CEO, Langham Hospitality Group. “His story is one of curiosity, discovery and a deep appreciation for people and place – qualities that align closely with the values of our flagship brand.”

London’s food scene remains an inspiration for Roux, particularly in his South London neighborhood. His campaign film brings viewers along to some of his favorite local addresses, including Trinity, a Michelin-starred restaurant, and cheese specialist La Fromagerie.

Launched in January 2025, the “Your Story. Our Legacy.” brand campaign spotlights leading figures from culture, design and gastronomy. The Langham Luminaries roster also includes musical theater star Ayanga, Grammy Award-winning violinist Joshua Bell and entertainment icon Dannii Minogue, with others.
