Malmaison Reading

You're walking past the Victorian railway architecture on Station Road and suddenly you're in Malmaison's sleek lobby, all dark tones and contemporary design. This isn't your typical business hotel—there's a real restaurant and bar setup that pulls locals in, not just guests heading to their rooms. The whole vibe is grown-up and polished without feeling stiff; you can grab a cocktail, have dinner, or settle in for something more casual depending on the mood.
