The Langham, London — a landmark hotel at the top of Regent Street often visited by Conan Doyle — is offering several Holmes-related packages. The more deluxe of the two, priced at 595 pounds per night, includes one night in the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Suite; breakfast for two; two tickets to a Sherlock Holmes walking tour, with a guide from London Walks, the walking tour company; and the book, “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes,” one of whose short stories mentions the Langham. The package is also being offered for 265 pounds per night with accommodations in a standard double room; both packages are available through March 31.
