Montague Hotel Offers Special Package To Coincide With 'Hadrian: Empire & Conflict'

2008-09-17 12:57:44

A special exhibition is opening at the British Museum, close to luxury London hotel the Montague on the Gardens, this July. Hadrian: Empire & Conflict is on display through October 26th.

A mere hop, skip and a jump from the British Museum, the 88-room Montague on the Gardens, with its newly refurbished ground floor guest rooms and suites, offers commanding views of Montague Gardens Square. Ideally situated for both business and leisure visitors, the Montague prides itself on personal service and attention to detail. And though neighbouring the museum, the hotel of course is far from fossilized. Indeed it is bang up to date, with WiFi and free Internet access throughout; digital movies and audio on demand; plus interactive TV that includes on-screen hotel directory, wake-up alarm, and even a view of your bill. The on-site Blue Door Bistro is one of the cheeriest and most convivial places to eat in the area.

Visitors to the British Museum can learn more about this fascinating emperor and the times he lived in. A ruthless military leader, Hadrian quashed rebellions but also brought stability to the Empire and sorted out the political entanglements bequeathed to him by his predecessor, Trajan. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose, to borrow a very un-Roman phrase.

To mark the Museum's momentous exhibition, The Montague on the Gardens is offering a Hadrian package that includes:

Two entry tickets to the Hadrian: Empire and Conflict exhibition
Exhibition catalogue
Two-course lunch for two on stays of two nights or more.

The Montague on the Gardens is part of the Red Carnation collection, with luxury hotels in London, Dorset, Guernsey, Geneva, Palm Beach and South Africa. Like Rome, our hotel collection was not built in a day, but we pride ourselves on beautifully appointed accommodations, great cuisine and truly excellent service.

Ultimate Chic at the Montague

2008-09-24 15:21:51

The Montague on The Gardens' new two-bedroom Suite epitomizes design chic.

Enter through its marble corridor where the walls are adorned with a faux suede fabric and a series of original prints strategically placed to create the 'wow' factor. On the floor is crème marfil and brown maron marble tiles and under-floor heating. Ceiling spots set the scene for that perfect setting.

The Suite dining room houses a table that can accommodate eight for dinner or use it as your private board room whilst away from your office. Your dinner can be catered from your own private fully fitted kitchen.

The marble-floored master bedroom has lovely bevel-edged mirrors. The bathroom includes a chic copper bath for two and a stylish water trough to fill up the enormous tub. While sitting in the tub you can watch your flat-screen television. Or listen to your I pod docking station. The elegant Red Carnation touch is everywhere. The sumptuous towels are from Christies of Manchester, a famous brand stocked by Harrods; the Montague 'M' is embroidered with outline stitching on the fluffy duvet; the comfy pillows provide the best night's sleep on your Egyptian cotton 200% fine combed bed linen. Close the silk taffeta drapes for blackout or privacy from your remote control all your creature comforts are catered for: the bedroom wall to the dinning room is glass that reflects the maximum light through to your master bedroom hence the use of electronic drapes.

The separate marble guest toilet has a blue nightlight to guide you in the middle of the night so you do not wake anyone including yourself. This light is used because blue light keeps your eyes closer to a sleep mode whereas a white light tells the brain to waken. Just another among the myriad of touches designed to make your Suite unforgettable.

The second bedroom has two beautiful wooden antique beds with footboards and a snazzy chill-out chair in brown leather from the 1920's racing style; an en suite shower room; flat-screen television; walls covered with white corduroy; marble floor; and Roman blinds for blackout.

The lounge, which is entered from the dining room, looks onto the garden terrace area at the rear of the hotel. How delightful to enjoy your own private space while sipping morning tea or coffee.

A great family Suite for short or long visits. And as a finishing touch, It even has an amazing art collection including John Bratby, a collection of Vertes and a stunning nude by Russian artist Anatoly Demenko, to mention a few. View images of our Guv'nor's Suite
