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 award-winning Beach Bar at The Montague on the Gardens is an unforgettable summer party venue.

Complete with real sand, a beach-hut style thatched roof, delicious cocktails, palm trees, and a backdrop of a beautiful beach, you'll feel like you're basking in the Bahamas rather than in the heart of Central London.

To get you in the summertime spirit our chef serves a delicious range of BBQ options including meat, fish, and vegetarian/vegan dishes followed by a tasty line-up of tempting desserts including assorted ice creams in cones. Cocktails are served in coconuts on arrival, alongside a superb selection of wine, beers, and spirits. Guests also have the added option of unlimited drinks offers.

• The Beach Bar is open from the 17th of May to the 15th of September 2023 with daytime slots – 12 pm - 5 pm and evening slots – 6 pm - 10 pm.

• Corporate bookings are welcome as are shared parties during evenings and weekends. The Beach Bar makes an ideal location to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, engagement, or to host a hen/ stag party. A minimum group size of 10 people is required to book the Beach Bar on a semi-private basis.

The flexible spaces can accommodate parties of up to 160 guests and the Great Russell Suite is available afterwards for DJ and dancing into the night, complete with a built-in dance floor and private bar.

    We 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!

    We 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!

    Beautiful 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!
