Bloomsbury
The Bloomsbury Hotel
Set within Sir Edwin Lutyens’ Grade II neo‑Georgian landmark by the British Museum, The Bloomsbury offers cultured luxury: a dramatic double‑height lobby and the jewel‑like Coral Room bar, with the seasonal Dalloway Terrace for al fresco dining.
- Historical building / heritage architecture Housed in Sir Edwin Lutyens’ restored neo‑Georgian Grade II‑listed former YWCA building (rich Lutyens architectural details, original halls and chapel retained).
- Art or curated design collection Designer‑led, curated interiors throughout the hotel (e.g., Coral Room designed by Martin Brudnizki), book‑lined Seamus Heaney Library and bespoke decorative elements and artworks across public spaces.
- Prime location (landmark adjacent, riverfront, iconic neighbourhood) Situated in Bloomsbury’s literary quarter on Great Russell Street — moments from the British Museum, Covent Garden, Soho, Theatreland and Oxford Street.
- Sustainability / eco-certified operations Part of The Doyle Collection’s group sustainability programme — the group and its hotels (including The Bloomsbury) hold ECOsmart Platinum certification and operate group‑level sustainability initiatives and targets.
