5-star luxury hotel in Bloomsbury, London

Hotel Overview

Kimpton Fitzroy London commands attention with its striking 19th-century terracotta façade, enhanced by original architectural details. The hotel houses 334 guest rooms, each styled by Tara Bernerd & Partners to reflect the building's rich history. Guests can expect in-room amenities such as Nespresso machines, Ruark Bluetooth speakers, and dedicated fitness offerings.

Dining Options

Kimpton Fitzroy London offers four unique dining experiences. Fitz's Brasserie serves traditional British dishes with a modern twist, making it a culinary destination. The chic Fitz's Bar invites guests to enjoy a cocktail journey with its SPECTRUM menu, which features twelve cocktails inspired by the perception of color.

Location

Situated alongside Russell Square, Kimpton Fitzroy London is steps away from Bloomsbury's rich cultural heritage. The proximity to key attractions like the British Museum and various universities enhances its appeal to travelers. This central location ensures guests can explore London's vibrant neighborhoods with ease.

Wellness and Fitness

The hotel promotes wellness through its Technogym-equipped fitness center featuring modern workout equipment. Guests can also order self-care essentials through the Stay Well Room Service Menu. Unique wellness experiences, such as the Room To Dream package, offer tools for self-exploration and enhancement of well-being.

Pet-Friendly Amenities

Kimpton Fitzroy London warmly welcomes pets, offering plush pet-bed loaners and a special menu from Marleybones for furry guests. No additional fees, deposits, or size limits are enforced, making it a truly pet-friendly environment. The hotel also features pet-friendly social events during the weekly Social Hour.

Highlights

Location: Located alongside Russell Square and near key attractions.

Rooms: 334 guest rooms styled by Tara Bernerd & Partners.

Dining: Fitz's Brasserie and Fitz's Bar for diverse dining experiences.

Wellness: Technogym-equipped fitness center and Room To Dream package.

“The architecture marries heritage with modern design, though some in-room amenities missed the mark; experiences like cocktail synesthesia and wellness packages aim to set it apart. I think the hotel's distinctive approach caters to guests seeking more than just a stay. It certainly has potential to create memorable visits.”

Questions of the users
About Kimpton Fitzroy London By Ihg
Is the bronze dragon statue, known as Lucky George, still displayed at the hotel? It holds special significance for our anniversary trip.
22 March 2024
Yes, the bronze dragon statue, affectionately named Lucky George, remains a permanent feature of the hotel. It has an interesting history, as only two were created, and the other resides at the bottom of the ocean in the Titanic's dining hall.
Can you confirm if this hotel allows dogs? I'm planning to travel with my golden retriever.
10 May 2024
The property is indeed pet-friendly! Just provide details such as your pet's name, breed, weight, and age to ensure a comfortable stay.
Are there any discounts available for military or NHS personnel when booking a stay?
15 June 2024

8 August 2024
All rooms have windows that can partially open to provide some fresh air, although they are fitted with restrictors and do not open fully for safety.
What are the room sizes available at the hotel? I'm curious about the square footage before making a reservation.

What distinguishes the Urban Double room from the Standard Double room? They appear very similar.
12 October 2024
The Urban Double is essentially the hotel's Standard Double room; there are no differences between the two categories.
