Property Description
The Academy brings five elegant Georgian townhouses together in one boutique hotel. A luxury refurbishment by Champalimaud Design mixes subtle Regency-inspired elements with contemporary style to create a modern city retreat. Think winding staircases- high ceilings and tall sash windows- balanced with clean lines and neutral colour schemes. Start the day with a hearty breakfast in The Refectory- before stepping out to explore the city. The many sights- sounds and world-famous restaurants of the West End are only a stroll away. The Academy is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.

Apart from the location, there is nothing else to like about it.
The room is too small, there is no elevator, the price is high, and the breakfast is poor. It is just a small villa converted into a family hotel.
Not recommended!

I booked a room and was arranged to stay in the basement on the first day and in the attic on the second and third days. My neck was bitten by mosquitoes and swollen to the size of an egg. I thought I was seriously ill and went to the emergency room. Then I was moved to a normal room on the third floor.

The location of the hotel is acceptable, but the quality is not right. The price is far beyond the value. The room is small, the bathroom is small, there is no elevator, and there is no hot food for breakfast. It has at most three-star facilities, but it does charge 5-star prices. Sorry T r ¡ p is pushed to the customers of the platform without screening, which is a great loss of integrity.

The room was clean and had a modern feel.
However, it was difficult because there is no elevator.
I was grateful to the friendly staff for lifting the carrier.
The location was unfortunate because it was a 10-minute walk to several subways, but
The bed was also very soft and clean, so I slept soundly.

We love The Academy- now our 5th stay. The rooms are lovely and comfortable. The common spaces and garden are so inviting and cozy. There is always Nespresso and biscuits as well as a fridge with waters and soft drinks that are part of your stay, which is so thoughtful. The location of the hotel is great and you can walk through Bloomsbury, and easy access to SoHo, Convent Garden and Piccadilly. The staff are the best and just make your stay so easy and wonderful. We can't recommend this property enough when visiting London for work and/or fun.
