The Academy Hotel
21 Gower Street
London, WC1E 6HG
Situated in the heart of London's famous Garden Square district of Bloomsbury, The Academy Town House is just a few minutes away from the West End, Oxford Street and Covent garden. Bloomsbury is home to the British Museum, London University College and a varied selection of galleries and antiquarian bookshops. During the early part of the 20th Century, Bloomsbury was home to the famous "Bloomsbury Set" which included the writer Virginia Wolf, the painter Duncan Bell and the famous economist Maynard Keynes.
These beautiful, historic, Georgian buildings were originally built as five private homes in 1776. Over the last 300 years, each house has evolved it's own character and atmosphere and now offers guests a unique Town House experience.
This unique boutique style, luxury Town House boats 49 individually designed and decorated guestrooms and suites. Many rooms retain original Georgian Features and have been stunningly decorated in a very contemporary "London Town House" style. All rooms are discreetly equipped for the business traveler and feature all the comforts of a luxury hotel. The Academy boasts some unique suites featuring split level bathrooms and free standing claw foot baths, air conditioning, and an unusual Garden Suite with the benefit of a private courtyard garden.
The boardroom is a popular venue for smaller meetings of up to 16 delegates or perfect for an intimate reception or private dinner. The room benefits from plenty of natural daylight and is formally laid as an elegant boardroom. The boardroom leads onto the Conservatory lounge and Gardens making it an ideal setting for summer cocktail receptions and small wedding receptions.
