The Langham's Pink Taxi

The Langham Hotel in Boston is one of my favorite hotels in Boston because of its central location in the Financial District of Boston, its great service, its unique charm, and its popular Chocolate Buffet.  Last week, the Langham added to its unique appeal with a specially-imported English taxi, which has been retrofitted to U.S. automobile standards and painted the iconic Langham pink.  The taxi, which fits in with the Langham’s British roots, will be used to shuttle hotel guests around the city of Boston.

To celebrate, the Langham Hotel Boston is offering a special promotion for Boston residents and visitors.  Facebook users who spot the pink taxi on its travels throughout Boston should upload a photo of the taxi on The Langham, Boston’s Facebook page to be automatically entered for a chance to win a four-day, three-night stay at the original, luxurious Langham, in London, England. The winner will also receive premium Economy airfare for two provided courtesy of Virgin Atlantic Airways.  Contest submissions will be accepted on Facebook from November 12, 2011 to January 12, 2012 with the winner will be picked at random and announced on or about January 31, 2012.  See the Langham, Boston’s Facebook page for all contest rules.
