"Wonderful staff, beautiful hotel!"

We arrived to the hotel at around 8am after a red eye, expecting to simply drop our bags off. But to our surprise, the staff had a room ready for us right away so we could refresh ourselves before heading out on the town! We were also able to do late checkout for our train the next day. It is worth mentioning that I am an IHG member and the early check in and late check out may be a benefit from that (sign up is free). The front desk staff was super kind and accommodating and the hotel is in a wonderful neighbourhood with lots of attractions around! Room service and the on site bar were both excellent. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

A Luxury Hotel in London A London Hotel Like No Other A 19th-century beauty meets the London of today: that's what you'll find at Kimpton Fitzroy London. From the outside, the landmark building, which occupies a full block along the eastern side of Russell Square in Bloomsbury, looks every bit the part of Grande Dame. Inside, though, contemporary interiors beckon the discerning traveler to settle in and stay a while—cocktail (or two) in hand. In The Heart Of It All Live like a Londoner on Russell Square. With one foot in the city's past and another in its present, our Bloomsbury location combines British creative heritage with modern amenities. Luxury 5 Star London Hotel Presiding gracefully over Russell Square, with a stylish restaurant, Champagne and afternoon tea lounge, a cafe, destination cocktail bar and gym, our 334-room hotel turns every event into a memorable occasion. With a nod to 20s glamour and British irreverence, such as the Kit Miles cushions depicting our resident dragon, Lucky George, each luxuriously styled bedroom by Tara Bernerd & Partners beautifully reflects the rich history of our iconic hotel. Uniquely Kimpton in-room extras include a mug featuring George the dragon and yoga mat to help you feel at home.
