Kimpton Fitzroy London Hotel, Luxury hotel in Bloomsbury, London, United Kingdom.
The Kimpton Fitzroy London Hotel occupies an entire city block on Russell Square, featuring Renaissance Revival architecture with ten floors above ground and terracotta facades decorated with ornate sculptural elements.
Originally opened in 1898 and designed by architect Charles Fitzroy Doll, this Grade II* listed building survived the Second World War with minimal damage and has operated continuously as a luxury hotel for over a century.
The hotel's facade displays statues of four British queens carved by sculptor Henry Charles Fehr, while its interior houses the bronze dragon statue 'Lucky George' and architectural elements inspired by historical palatial designs.
Located within walking distance of the British Museum and University College London, the hotel offers direct booking through its official website with packages like 'Stay 3, Pay 2' and includes pet-friendly accommodations without additional fees.
The hotel's restaurant Neptune closely resembles the dining room that architect Charles Fitzroy Doll designed for the RMS Titanic, creating a remarkable connection between this London establishment and maritime history.
