2.6 miby road to Station Pier, our routing; 7 minutes with no traffic
The verdict

The Langham prints its own airport prices, and two of them carry notes about rises. Its page puts Flinders Street Station 450 metres away, a six-minute walk, and lists a taxi from A$70 (about US$50), a Southern Cross shuttle bus from A$22 (about US$15) and a limousine at A$165 (about US$115) for two. The limousine note, a rise to A$170 dated January 1, 2026, may already apply.

None of that is a ride to the pier. Our routing puts Station Pier about 2.6 road miles (4.1 km) away, roughly 7 minutes with no traffic. For the airport the hotel says 20 km and 50 minutes — where our routing says 23.7 km and 26 minutes with no traffic, so its figure probably includes traffic.

Valet is A$80 (about US$55) for 24 hours, and the page notes a rise to A$95 (about US$65) from October 1, 2026. That date has passed — so expect A$95 and confirm it. Self-parking at the Eureka car park is discounted to A$26 (about US$18) per exit.

I'd book it for the station walk and the pool — then ask for the current valet rate and limousine price before you pay.

Book it if

  • You want to walk to Flinders Street Station, which the hotel puts at 450 metres.
  • An indoor pool and a spa matter more to you than a restaurant list.
  • You'd like the airport prices in front of you before you land.

Look elsewhere if

  • You want today's valet rate on paper. The page shows a dated rise.
  • You want a restaurant or bar named on the page. None is.
  • You want a check-in time confirmed, and none is printed.

Map pins from the Esri World Geocoder: address matches, except Pullman City Centre and The Hamptons Apartments, which are place matches, and the Grants Road pin that Novotel and ibis Styles at the airport share, which is a street point. The Station Pier pin is Esri’s point for 6 Waterfront Place, not a berth, and the airport pin is a point at the terminals.

From Southgate Avenue the pier is a taxi — the walk is to the station, not the pier.
