The Montagu name first appeared in England after the distinguished Montague family received a land grant by Duke William of Normandy following the Norman Conquest in 1066. Derived from the family's original place of residence, Montaigu-Le-Bois in Coutance, France, the name has several variations including Montague, Montegue and Montacute and has become representative of class and sophistication. Today, several hotels in England use the name and provide guests with upscale accommodations and modern amenities.
The Montagu Place Hotel, in the center of the Marylebone district of central London, is a luxury boutique hotel in a historic Georgian townhouse. It offers 16 en-suite guestrooms with British-made deluxe bedding and upscale bath products. The hotel is conveniently within walking distance of Baker Street, known for its boutiques and the historic Sherlock Holmes residence; the Marble Arch, a former marble gate of Buckingham Palace relocated to this Oxford Street location in 1851; and the popular shopping district of Oxford Street with more than 500 shops.
