Get Acquainted
Situated on a quiet, semi-residential street of the charming Bloomsbury neighborhood sets the incomparable Montague on the Gardens. Tidy floral window boxes and cheerful door attendants greet you with a professional, yet reassuring ease, to this Georgian Townhouse of 88 guest rooms, 11 luxury suites and one apartment; all designed by the President and founder of the Red Carnation Hotel Collection, Beatrice Tollman. South African born and with decades of travels afar, “Bea” has put her worldly, theatrical and loving touch into each individually decorated room. Often dramatic, never repeated, and thoughtfully appointed as if you were there as her own personal houseguest; so begins your stay at what will feel like your home away from home. And, where better than to commemorate your momentous occasion?
