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.

Very nice hotel. We stayed for 8 nights and were generally really pleased with the accommodations, staff and food. We ate breakfast each morning at the hotel and the staff members were exceptionally nice and efficient, and the food was reasonably priced. We also enjoyed drinks and bar food in the Coral Room (shout out to Hannah who was a delight). We ate dinner a few times on the Terrace which was also nice but not exceptional. Loved the goodies box in the room that was replenished each day. My only (and significant) complaint was the bathroom which was incredibly and ridiculously small, with a pedestal sink and no nearby shelving. It was very difficult to maneuver in the bathroom so I would recommend travelers avoid room 609. I feel the hotel should consider making adjustments to the size of that bathroom for the sake of guest comfort and experience. The bedroom itself was lovely and adequately sized with delightful linens on the bed. I would definitely stay there again but would ask to see the room at check-in.

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 love this hotel. The staff is first rate across the board from the moment we arrived until the time we left the front desk staff, concierge, staff in the Coral Room were gracious and professional. Housekeeping services which are often overlooked were unobtrusive and made the room very inviting with their turn down service which was welcomed after a day exploring London.

If the Bloomsbury Hotel undeniably offers an experience of quality, serenity and comfort, it is first and foremost thanks to its staff. The friendliness and professionalism of the breakfast team, led by Maria, are particularly noteworthy. It's the first step of the day and the team's attention is a delight.

This was my first time in London. I stayed at the Bloomsbury Hotel and I cannot say enough good things about The Bloomsbury. The hotel was luxurious, my room was immaculate and well appointed. But the best part of the Bloomsbury was the staff, everyone was polite and welcoming and always willing to help. I would be remiss not to give a shout out to Nayeema and Suhaina, the two girls working the front desk who spent an enormous amount of time with me helping to get me checked into my flight back to Arizona, both of them literally walked the extra mile to ensure I was checked in properly. The premium lodgings, plus high-quality staff members e.g. Nayeema and Suhaina insure all of my future business when I visit London. David

My Mam and I stay at The Bloomsbury every year when we visit London. Always brilliant customer service. Reception staff are friendly, concierge Ivan always takes an interest in you and has a good knowledge of London, places to visit etc . Breakfasts are beautiful. Maria and her team are fab. Maria is very kind, and again that personal touch of she recognises us and goes out of her way to ensure we have everything we need. Will be looking forward to seeing Maria and Ivan next year on our annual trip.

Wow what a hotel! I have stayed in a lot of hotels and not only was the hotel beautiful the customer service was outstanding. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we felt like the only guests at the hotel. It so not matter where we were each member of staff went out their way to make sure we were happy and see if there was anything they could do. I do not have the ladies name but the lady on reception who helped us when our car got broken into was amazing a real credit to the hotel. We will definitely be returning!

On arrival at the hotel I was greeted by one of the front of house staff who escorted me to reception. The reception staff were very friendly and check in was flawless (as usual). The upgrade to a junior suite was an extra bonus. The room was very spacious for London with plenty of space to relax in. Also there was a box of wonderful macarons sitting on my desk. Breakfast in the newly refurbished trellis room was excellent. The staff are always friendly and welcoming but they remembered me and made me feel that little bit special. Special thanks must go to Maria, Patricia and Tara. The only down side was the coral room. Its a wonderful cocktail bar and is laid out very nicely. Unfortunately it has a tendency to be quite loud and I felt a little out of place as the patrons were a lot younger than me. Although I must say that the staff looked after me very well.
