Neil Anderson

Deputy General Manager

I originally worked at The Milestone Hotel in various departments which is also part of the Red Carnation Hotel family. In February 2016, I joined The Montague on the Gardens as Deputy General Manager. It is my dedicated team's goal to ensure that all of our guests receive the very warmest welcome to the hotel and that their stay is perfect. Our motto is 'No request is too large, no detail is too small.'

Whatever the occasion, it would be my pleasure to tailor it to your needs so that your visit is not just a night out but becomes a treasured memory!

Martin Halls

Executive Head Chef

We have a wealth of different dining options to offer you at The Montague. Many of my dishes are inspired by our President and Founder of Red Carnation Hotels, Mrs Beatrice Tollman, whose philosophy is to offer the very best in delicious comfort food. When designing my menus, I particularly focus on seasonal, sustainable produce that is sourced locally. If you have any special dietary requirements, I will of course be happy to look after this request.

Mustafa El'Omari

Head Concierge

As the Head Concierge I truly love looking after our guests. It is my role to organise your private itinerary whilst you are staying with us, to book you the best seats in the theatre and to get you a table in those very difficult to book restaurants. My team and I continue to seek out all that London has to offer, from the dazzlingly new to the quintessentially traditional, so we can offer you the very best advice when putting together your itinerary.

It would be our pleasure to oversee your bedroom allocation and put in a special request prior to your arrival. We can also organise any additional extras you may like such as chocolates, champagne and strawberries, which would be waiting for you upon arrival. We will ensure that your stay will be one you fondly remember.
