Hotel description

This is an elegant townhouse in Bloomsbury known as The Academy, a hotel where your comfort is paramount. Here the couches are for sinking into not perching on, the food is for savouring not picking at, the beds are designed to give you the soundest night's sleep. Outside you'll find a private garden, just for hotel residents, where flowers fill the generous space with colour and delicate fragrance and a fishpond ripples softly in the quiet. It's hard to believe you're in the heart of London, but you are.

The Academy was made by linking five luxury townhouses together, and somewhere inside is a place for you to hide. Each of the 49 rooms has been designed to make your dreams as sweet as can be. The Alchemy restaurant is a haven of contemporary comfort, where guests can enjoy a leisurely breakfast. The menu includes a freshly baked continental buffet, or the ultimate traditional English breakfast. The Boardroom is a popular venue for smaller meetings of up to 14 delegates or perfect for an intimate reception or dinner.

Location

The Academy is situated in Bloomsbury, not far from London's West End, famous for its shops and theatres. Walk the cobbled streets of Covent Garden, a converted flower market now full of fashionable boutiques. Catch a show, take a stroll, or just relax in a café and watch the world go by.

    "Teníamos la habitación nº 57. El baño era pequeño y la ducha baja para una persona de estatura media."

    "Personal excelente y la habitacion correcta, pero el mantenimiento es mejorable: no funionaba la luz del espejo en la habitacion y no fue posible repararla a pedar de que estuvimos dos noches. Tal vez por ser fin de semana. La limpieza es correcta pero algunos detalles son tambien mejorables."

    "I had already stayd at the hotel and loved it. This time, however, the room we were given was just avarage, and with shabby details. The bathroom was very small and the lightbulb over the shower went off the first morning and was never replaced. I still like the hotel and I have seen some truly lovely rooms, this time we were just not very lucky."

    "Très satisfait dans l'ensemble ! Attention : une personne de mon groupe a pu pénètrer dans ma chambre avec sa carte-clef. les trois cartes ont-elles été codés identiques vu que les trois chambres faisaient l'objet d'une seule facture. Il est d'autre part peu admissible qu'au bar il n'y ait que du whisky "Bell's" le pire de tous et aucun malt valable !"

    "I'm always happy in the Academy hotel. Only; my son forgot the programm of a concert that we went to (Classical Spectacular)..I phoned after returning in Amsterdam- but never heard if something was found or not..Hopefully we'll find something with the post. Next time London: Academy hotel again!"

    "It was a very good location for the dominion theatre and also the Ivy Restaurant to which we went to. The room suite we had was well fitted out with fruit and drink making facilities. We had breakfast in our room which was good."
