Montagu Place Hotel
This intimate, boutique hotel, set in a listed Georgian townhouse, offers you stylish accommodation in a quiet residential street, just a short walk from some of London's leading thoroughfares. With just 16 bedrooms, the hotel is small enough to be cosy and welcoming, yet also offers all the amenities you would associate with a much larger hotel. As Christine Samuelian of the Globe and Mail notes, "with comfy sofas, gorgeous lighting and lush textiles, the hotel is very much designed like a home". The Times too lavished praise on the hotel, remarking that "the owners have contrasted the original townhouse features with sleek modern décor to good effect".
