THE ACADEMY HOTEL

DESCRIPTION

• Rooms : 49, Elegant townhouse, Restaurant, Private Garden.

• 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.

• 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.
