Malmaison Reading
About this hotel
Malmaison Reading brings a boutique-chain sensibility to the town centre, four minutes' walk from Reading Museum and a minute from the Station Road tram stop, with stylish contemporary rooms and suites built around a brasserie and cocktail bar rather than a standard hotel restaurant. Air conditioning, room service and full-service laundry cover the practical side of a longer stay, and the pet-friendly policy widens who can travel. It's roughly forty-two minutes from Heathrow by taxi. For a group wanting more design sensibility than the standard business-hotel chains offer, this is the pick closest to the centre. Full-service laundry rounds out the offering for a longer stay, and the design sensibility here beats the standard business-hotel format found at most of the other chain properties covered on this list.
