Overview

The Academy is a 50 bedroom 5* Townhouse hotel in the heart of Bloomsbury, London. The hotel has been created by linking together five historic Georgian buildings. These were originally built as private homes in 1776. Over the last 300 years each house has evolved its own character and atmosphere and now offers a unique Town House experience with the added luxury of two private gardens at the rear of the hotel. Please note, this property does not have an elevator, and rooms are only accessible via stairs.
