EUROPE - BRITAIN - LONDON : The Montague on the Gardens
by Ursula & Eldrid Retief








Showered with accolades for the comfort of its accommodation and its excellent service, The Montague on the Gardens, Bloomsbury, is wonderfully located for both business and leisure visitors to London. . 

This intimate boutique hotel, overlooking a private garden, has the ambience of a fine country hotel on a London side street – adjacent to the British Museum, within a short stroll of the West End and its theatres, just minutes from Covent Garden, and shopping on Oxford and Bond Streets.

With a combination of 88 deluxe guest rooms and 11 luxurious suites, The Montague has now refurbished 42 bedrooms and suites, each distinctly designed to retain its elegance and chic while incorporating the modern-day comfort and luxury offered only at a four-star property such as The Montague.

The most recently refurbished rooms are on the ground floor and are extremely spacious – many suitable for entire families - and feature high ceilings and extensive glass panelling. One of the rooms includes a private outside wood deck that overlooks the secluded Bedford Gardens – a mecca of some very special sculptures.

The innovative new Bloomsbury Wing houses five rooms reminiscent of the literary set so widely characterized in the 1900’s by equal parts eccentricity and genius. Each room is fitted with Quadriga, enabling high-speed Internet access and providing each room with digital pay movies and audio on demand, plus interactive TV that includes an on-screen hotel directory, wake-up alarm, and a view of one’s bill.

The convivial on-site Blue Door Bistro specializes in modern European cuisine. A private Terrace and Wood Deck overlooks a secluded garden square that showcases rare and exclusive statues. The cosy Terrace Bar is famous for its cocktails.

The Montague’s accolades? Rated Four-Star Deluxe by the AA; Five Crown Silver Award from the English Tourist Board, AA Rosette, RAC White Ribbon Award; two RAC Dining Awards. Winner of London & Bloom’s Award. The Business Traveler calls it “A little gem.”
