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 caf?, 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.
