Stay at the Montague and visit new British Museum exhibition

A special exhibition is opening at the British Museum, close to luxury London hotel the Montague on the Gardens, this July. Hadrian: Empire & Conflict is on display through October 26th.

A mere hop, skip and a jump from the British Museum, the 88-room Montague on the Gardens, with its newly refurbished ground floor guest rooms and suites, offers commanding views of Montague Gardens Square. Ideally situated for both business and leisure visitors, the Montague prides itself on personal service and attention to detail. And though neighbouring the museum, the hotel of course is far from fossilized. Indeed it is bang up to date, with WiFi and free Internet access throughout; digital movies and audio on demand; plus interactive TV that includes on-screen hotel directory, wake-up alarm, and even a view of your bill. The on-site Blue Door Bistro is one of the cheeriest and most convivial places to eat in the area.

Visitors to the British Museum can learn more about this fascinating emperor and the times he lived in. A ruthless military leader, Hadrian quashed rebellions but also brought stability to the Empire and sorted out the political entanglements bequeathed to him by his predecessor, Trajan. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose, to borrow a very un-Roman phrase.

To mark the Museum’s momentous exhibition, The Montague on the Gardens is offering a package that includes:

• Two entry tickets to the Hadrian: Empire and Conflict exhibition
• Exhibition catalogue
• Two-course lunch for two on stays of two nights or more.

The Montague on the Gardens is part of the Red Carnation collection, with luxury hotels in London, Dorset, Guernsey, Geneva, Palm Beach and South Africa. Like Rome, our hotel collection was not built in a day, but we pride ourselves on beautifully appointed accommodations, great cuisine and truly excellent service.
