The four star Montague on the Gardens Hotel combines the best of two worlds. In front is the British Museum and the hurly-burly of tourist London, whilst to the rear there's a serene private garden, cut off from the city by a rectangle of fine Georgian townhouses.
Between the two lies The Montague on the Gardens Hotel – an intriguing blend of up-to-the-minute city vibrancy and old-world Bloomsbury charm, where guests can expect British hospitality at its finest.
Featuring an excellent array of peaceful and exciting outdoor and indoor event spaces, as well as our seasonal pop-up concepts, The Montague Ski Lodge and The Beach Bar.
The Ski Lodge is currently closed; we look forward to welcoming you again from the 6th of November 2023
=============================================
If you are looking for a unique way to celebrate the festive season in London then look no further than the Ski Lodge - London's original ski lodge and winter party venue, awarded 'Bronze' for Best Christmas Party Venue in The London Venue Awards 2019.
The Wood Deck is transformed into a magical ski lodge with pine trees, falling snow, reindeer, snowmen, ski racks, piste maps, and strings of fairy lights and lanterns. The centrepiece is a bar serving a selection of beverages, including Schnapps and flavoured vodkas.
To help combat the cold and lightly drifting snowflakes, guests can enjoy our delicious candied pecans, mulled wine, hot spiced cider, mugs of steaming hot chocolate cocktails, and big woolly rugs, which will all help to keep you lovely and snug during the long winter nights.
Please note: The Ski Lodge is for exclusive hire or for hotel residents only. We unfortunately cannot take reservations for individual guests unless you are a hotel resident. Public walk-ins may be available on the day but are subject to availability.

June 2024We stayed here for anniversary and the staff was wonderful! From little treats to their kindness and delicious breakfast we had a wonderful stay! It was easy to walk all over the city- we walked one day to the Tower of London and back to visit various places! We also took public transportation. We loved this hotel!
Navid Armstrong
September 2024We have stayed here more than once. Their indoor and outdoor bars and their afternoon tea facing their garden are all fabulous. So is their breakfast. The best part? Their staff, especially the concierge! John Lennon's home is nearby and so is the Russell Square Park and train station. Right across from the British Museum and walking distance to Covent Garden and Picadelly Square!
Mrs E
July 2024Beautiful historic boutique hotel close to the British Museum. Rooms are small but perfectly formed with everything you need for a very pleasant stay. A delicious treat of homemade shortbread greeted me in the room which was a nice touch. I'll stay again when I'm back in town for work. Thank you!

August 2024I just have to say WOW!!! This is the absolute best hotel we have stayed. The staff is amazing, the rooms are beautiful and extremely clean and the breakfast is delicious. I will absolutely be coming back. I highly recommend this hotel!
