Located in central London just minutes away from The British Museum, Theatreland, Soho and the designer boutiques and markets of Covent Garden, The Bloomsbury hotel sits at the heart of the historic and vibrant 18th century Bloomsbury - London’s literary heartland and home to several galleries, antiquarian bookshops and an eclectic selection of cafes, traditional pubs and eateries.
Housed in a Grade II listed neo-Georgian building designed in the 1930s by Sir Edwin Lutyens, the greatest British architect of his age, signature architectural features within the hotel include a magnificent stone entrance, stunning double-height lobby and quirky Lutyens-designed ironwork.
Like its iconic architecture, The Bloomsbury hotel evokes a comforting sense of refinement and understated glamour – inspired by the past yet emphatically contemporary.
Cultural partnerships as with Poet in the City and the Royal Society of Literature ensure that the hotel maintains strong cultural links that are very much in keeping with its position at the centre of London’s literary heartland.
From mid-February to mid-April, restoration work will take place on the west elevation of the heritage building.
Great care will be taken to ensure minimum disruption to the guests.
To facilitate this work, Dalloway Terrace will be closed during the period.
Guests may continue to eat, drink and relax in the wonderful surrounds of The Lobby Lounge, Bloomsbury Club Dining Room and Bloomsbury Club Bar.

The bar is split into two areas, the walls in the main bar area are adorned with artwork and books synonymous with the Bloomsbury Set, with a subtle subtly English colonial influence.
The secluded, heated outside bar resembles a bohemian space with booths lining the exposed brickwork and a canvas of fairy lights covering the ceiling.
