An elegant summer in the city at Montague on the Gardens

TUCKED away in the stylish heart of Bloomsbury, The Montague on the Gardens invites Londoners to embrace the warm season in elegance.

With a thoughtfully curated calendar of summer events and exclusive open-air settings, the hotel’s grounds are set to become one of the capital’s most sought-after spots for long, sunny days.

For a limited time, the hotel unveils its Montague Garden Series, a collaboration with Bedford Estates which offers the guests a rare access to the usually private Montague Street Gardens, normally hidden behind the ornate iron gates.

The lush oasis is a fair opponent to a countryside weekend welcoming with meticulously trimmed hedges and towering trees framing the beautiful and elegant Georgian architecture. It’s the ideal setting to unwind with an afternoon tea picnic enjoying finger sandwiches, delicate pastries, and a glass of fizz beneath the canopy of green.

Culture lovers can book an unforgettable weekend stay that includes a night of open-air theatre or music. On select evenings, the acclaimed Lord Chamberlain’s Men will perform Twelfth Night, Shakespeare’s beloved romantic comedy and Montague’s signature jazz evening will be brought outdoors to enjoy with a backdrop of London’s sunset.

The performances will be preceded by cocktails and canapés on the Garden Terrace, setting the tone for an enchanting, al fresco experience under the stars.

The Beach Bar, now an iconic summer fixture of Montague, takes the guests away to the coast without ever having to leave London. Real sand underfoot, tropical cocktails served in coconuts, and staff serving drinks in lifeguard uniforms, means that the immersive pop-up manages to successfully blur the line between Bloomsbury and Barbados, especially after a few delicious drinks.

As the city starts to get hot, Montague on the Gardens offers a perfect hideaway from the heat and aims to delight its guests with all things unexpected throughout this season.
