Malmaison Reading - safe from the floods?

Malmaison – the AA Hotel Group of the Year 2006-7 – is to add yet another hotel to its growing brand. The Malmaison Reading, once a Great Western Railway hotel, includes a “seductive wine bar” serving “dangerously good cocktails”, a brasserie and a café, and is due to open at the end of the month with special offers starting from £99. Let’s hope the current UK flood crisis, which is extending its way towards places such as Reading and Caversham, doesn’t delay the group’s plans.
I stayed at the Malmaison Edinburugh in mid June, and could only give a glowing report on the hotel and the way it is run. Front office staff were ‘exceptionally’ warm and helpful. Great rooms and food.
If the Malmaison Edinburgh is representative of all Malmaisons (and I suspect it is), its obvious why they were chosen as the AA hotel chain of the year!
