What it is

The Bloomsbury is a historic hotel situated in the literary heart of London, within the iconic Bloomsbury district, famous for its association with the Bloomsbury Group of writers. This elegant hotel, housed in a beautiful neo-Georgian building designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, masterfully combines the charm and history of the 1920s with modern luxury and style.

What it isn't

It's not a contemporary boutique hotel with minimalist design. The Bloomsbury celebrates its historical and cultural heritage with rich, ornate interiors and a traditional charm that evokes a bygone era.

What we think

The Bloomsbury excels at providing a quintessentially British experience, infused with literary history and classic elegance. Each guest room and suite is thoughtfully designed to reflect the hotel’s heritage, with luxurious fabrics, antique furniture, and art deco details. The public spaces, including the stunning Dalloway Terrace and the Bloomsbury Club Bar, are beautifully appointed, offering guests sophisticated spots to dine and unwind.

The Dalloway Terrace, named after the character created by Virginia Woolf, a prominent member of the Bloomsbury Group, is particularly notable. This enchanting, year-round terrace offers a quintessential English garden setting, where guests can enjoy seasonal dishes surrounded by lush foliage and blooms, regardless of the weather.
