Originally built as five Georgian homes in 1776, The Academy is an intimate hotel in London's famous Bloomsbury district. Each of its five houses has developed its own distinctive character through the years, to create a stunning boutique-style hotel. Beautifully decorated throughout, and retaining many original Georgian features, The Academy boasts cosy lounges, roaring fires and even two private gardens. In the early 20th Century, this exclusive area of London was home to the famous Bloomsbury Set, which included Virginia Woolf and John Maynard Keynes. Even today, the area and hotel have lost none of their charm. Stay at The Academy and unwind in the perfect London retreat. The hotel is ideally located in Bloomsbury, a few minutes from the British Museum, West End theatres, Oxford Street, Covent Garden and Soho. 3 underground stations are minutes walk away. Euston station is within a half a mile of the hotel, as is Kings Cross station, with direct train links to London Luton Airport. Heathrow Airport is 20 km away (40 min by taxi).
