Detailed Review
Created by linking five Georgian Town Houses together, The Academy offers the pleasure of experiencing London life as resident of 19th century Bloomsbury - but with all of the best modern luxuries. The setting is perfect for lovers of the arts and modern-day Bohemians, as the hotel is in the famous West End, minutes from its cafes, renowned theatres and The Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. The Conservatory and The Library offer guests an intimate and comfortable space to enjoy a drink amongst friends, and each social room leads onto a private garden exclusive to hotel residents. In the warmer months, flowers fill the garden with colour and a delicate fragrance, as guests sip chilled wines near a rippling fish pond.
Press Quotes
"The Academy sprawls across five 18th-century buildings near the British Museum. The hotel’s library and a conservatory create a studious, relaxed atmosphere. The modest front door swings with the quiet comings and goings of regulars and the residential feel is compounded by the absence.”The Economist 04
