The Academy
The Academy is one of London’s most charming hotels. Located right in the heart of London’s West End, it is just a stone’s throw away from the city’s finest shops and restaurants and well located for visiting The British Museum.
This four-star boutique hotel, in London’s Bloomsbury, is made up of five restored Georgian townhouses and is a comfortable base from which to explore the sights of our capital. This small, quirky hotel comes complete with a cosy library, beautiful conservatory and homely sitting room.
The Academy, located in London’s West End, is the perfect setting for small meeting room hire – from boardroom meetings of up to 20 delegates to more informal meetings in The Conservatory.
