The Bar/Lounge at The Montague on The Gardens

"A traditional but elegant British feel to this period townhouse; its clubby bar and conservatory overlook a secluded garden"

"There are two restaurants, a conservatory, and a terrace bar in the secluded gardens"

"Public rooms have been decorated in a Victorian style, with tartan wall coverings in the bar and deep leather armchairs"

"Other amenities include two conservatories serving afternoon tea, a winter-only cigar terrace and a bar with live music"

"If there was a theme, it would be opulence: The rooms are outfitted with thick velvet bedding and soft bathrobes to lounge in, while the Cigar Terrace offers views of the hotel’s private garden as you learn the ropes from the in-house sommelier"

"The 100-room Montague on the Gardens is a bit larger than some of London's other boutique hotels, but its unique character, abundance of thoughtful extras, and variety of lounge and dining spaces create a distinct appeal"

"The lounge opens to the plank-floored Blue Door Bistro, which serves modern British fare and some comfort food dishes as well in a conservative setting of mahogany wainscot walls and leather captain chairs, which look more casual than they are comfortable"
