About The Montague on the Gardens
The Montague on the Gardens is one of London's most charming independent luxury hotels — a 100-room Georgian townhouse with a terrace garden tucked directly behind the British Museum. The hotel's position on Montague Street, named for the museum's founding Montague family, gives it an academic and literary character that its larger neighbours cannot replicate. The terrace overlooking the hotel's private gardens is one of the most peaceful outdoor dining spots in central London. The Blue Door Bistro serves modern British cuisine with confidence, while the bar's deep leather chairs invite the kind of afternoon that stretches into evening. Each room is furnished individually with antiques and fabrics that reinforce the hotel's commitment to independent character. The British Museum garden wall backs directly onto the hotel — closer physical proximity to one of the world's great cultural institutions is impossible. Best for: British Museum scholars and visitors, those attending the theatre in Holborn and Bloomsbury, and guests who want a genuinely personal hotel experience without the theatre of a palace hotel.
