In the beating heart of London, close to Theatreland, The British Museum and Covent Garden, The Bloomsbury, a magnificent Edwin Lutyens’ Grade II-listed, neo-Georgian building sits amid the historic 18th century neighbourhood of the same name; a literary heartland filled with galleries, bookshops and a wealth of cultural heritage. Following a multimillion pound refurbishment, the final chapter in The Bloomsbury’s redevelopment includes beautifully designed Luxury Studio Suites, Sitting Room and grand salon bar - The Coral Room. The Coral Room, designed in collaboration with internationally-acclaimed, Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, features 36 original pieces of art commissioned with illustrator Luke Edward Hall and inspired by the surrounding Bloomsbury area. The restoration of The Bloomsbury also includes Dalloway Terrace, a charming indoor and outdoor restaurant and The Bloomsbury Club Bar which takes inspiration from the Bloomsbury Set, evoking the glamour of a bygone era.

My husband and my little girl stayed in your hotel to celebrate our anniversary. We never expected when we mentioned our anniversary that someone would do something for us. When we arrived at the reception, they called a lovely gentleman named is Khaled (guest experience Manager) very friendly and polite, and he looked very professional. He greeted us, and the room was ready. He explained the hotel facilities, and he escorted us to the left. When we went to our room, we were surprised by what he did for us in the room. After a while, he sent some cookies to my little girl, and he called us to check if everything was okay. Stuff and Reception are friendly. We enjoyed our night, and we will definitely come back. Small things makes a big difference.

Hotel's Favorite
I stayed here few months ago and it was lovely. But this time was special due to my birthday celebration, and a weekend out in London, which all The Bloomsbury team made it perfect. We were welcomed and greeted by Alejandra at Reception who was very informative and chatty with us. Once we checked-in in the room I found a prosecco bottle and lovely card wishing me a happy birthday, which was a very nice touch. We opted to go for a drink to the glamorous Coral Room, the Spanish guy from Valencia welcome us, and Jonathan made the Danny Ocean's cocktail for us.... And it was amazing! All staff was very attentive and cheerful, but they went an extra mile when Alejandro, brought us a happy birthday plate with macarons and two glasses of Champagne! Wow! Our first day couldn't start better! Room was lovely, very well equipped, very comfortable king size bed and nice to have shower and bath in the room. Housekeeping team refresh the room and brought some tasty chocolates in the afternoon, the room attendant who I didn't catch her name, was friendly and very smile! We were checked out by Alejandra again and she kindly kept our luggage. The very polite concierge Kem escort us to the the exit and wished us a nice journey back home. Thanks again to all The Bloomsbury team for such an amazing stay, we will definitely come back. Special attention to Marta who did the reservation for us and made sure all our stay went perfect!…

We stayed at the Bloomsbury for 5 nights at the end of November and everything was wonderful. The rooms were very comfortable with everything you would need, the staff was very knowledgable and helpful, and the food delicious, although we only ate the breakfast and once in the Coral Room. It is centrally located with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. We also loved hanging in the lounge. Housekeeping is superb. Any issues were addressed immediately. We would definitely stay at the Bloomsbury again.

My fiancé and I had a wonderful week at this hotel. The room was very comfortable and clean, kept meticulously clean throughout our stay. The breakfast each morning was excellent, I recommend having some eggs benedict and chia pudding, they are delicious. Thank you Maria and the breakfast team for your kindness and professionalism. The highlight of our stay was the Coral Room, the manager Jasmine was the best, she was so great that we came every day to have some top notch cocktails. Her team were great too, well done all! Thank you Sebastian for organising the check-in and check-out, for the candles as gifts and thank you to your team, it was a pleasure to meet you. Special thanks to Ricardo for helping us with the booking, nice to meet you in person! All the staff at this hotel made our stay much more enjoyable than any other hotel we have stayed at in London. Will definitely be coming back!…

Our first revisit to London for a while and having looked at many options we settled on The Bloomsbury A perfect choice from start to finish, great location, great room and great staff. From the greeting at the entrance to the reception staff and then everything thereafter. It would be unfair to single out anyone as all did their utmost to make our three nights perfect. However we started each day with the most personal greeting and service from the breakfast team, so a heartfelt thank you to Maria plus Gabriela, Patricia, Yulila, Estelita and Davide. I hope I haven’t missed anyone but apologies otherwise. Would I recommend the hotel……yes ! Will we return…..yes!

My stay at The Bloomsbury was very pleasant. The location is unbeatable, close to key attractions. The room was very clean and really comfortable. Emmanuel was really kind and the treat couldn't be better. The dining experience at the hotel was also a delight. The on-site restaurant offered a delectable menu that catered to a variety of tastes, and the breakfast spread was a perfect start to my day. The staff in the restaurant were as friendly and accommodating as the rest of the team, ensuring that every meal was a memorable experience. If you're looking for a home away from home in the heart of London, The Bloomsbury is the place to be. I can't wait to return and experience more of the city's charms with The Bloomsbury as my home base.
