The Academy Hotel, Bloomsbury

15% off for AYU members

YTL Hotels’ elegant Gower Street property, The Academy, is a celebration of the hotel’s Bloomsbury location- London’s literary, cultural and intellectual heart. The hotel’s interiors reflect the casual exuberance, style and bonhomie of The Bloomsbury Set- the influential group of writers, intellectuals, philosophers and artists including Virginia Woolf, John Maynard Keynes and Vanessa Bell. The five Georgian townhouses brim with personality and offer a peaceful sanctuary amid London’s busy West End.

Guests can look forward to afternoon tea in the charming Library or outdoors in the Courtyard. Welcoming velvet sofas await in the Lounge and Alchemy Bar, where guests can savour creative cocktails from the hotel’s Literary Cocktail Collection.
