Kimpton Fitzroy
Bloomsbury, London
We believe that heartfelt, human connections make life worth living. So we come to work everyday eager to engage with our guests and each other. It’s the first thing on our daily “to do” list. And we want to be more than your home away from home. We want to be the escape from home you never thought you needed.
Bloomsbury
This landmark building, whose ornate terracotta facade is marked by four British queens guarding the entrance, has always been a proper home for glamour. The building was originally designed in 1898, and today you’ll feel that history the second you step into Kimpton Fitzroy London’s lobby and gaze around—from the marble as far as the eye can see to the original Zodiac mosaic at your feet. Through out the property—from the 334 guestrooms to the four dining and drinking establish-ments—original details mingle well with refurbished touches. The fresh, comfortable interior de sign (by Tara Bernerd & Partners and Russell Sage Studio) tips a hat to the building’s past without neglecting it’s present.

Fitz’s-Escape the Everyday
Any given night, you’ll find movers and shakers gossiping over Negronis and letting their hair down into the wee hours at Fitz’s, named after Charles Fitzroy Doll, the original architect of Kimpton Fitz-roy London. The plush, glamorous cocktail den has an air that’s electric with possibility—as if you never know who you’ll see luxuriating on the velour sofa below the oversize disco ball.
Burr & Co- Spend All Day At Our London Coffee Shop
Tucked into a ground-floor space at Kimpton Fitzroy London, Burr & Co. puts a modern twist on the traditions of London’s Victorian era coffee houses. Open through out the day, the casual cafe is the perfect spot to sip a solo cappuccino or share small plates and wine with friends. It’s also ideal for those grab-and-go mornings when you really need to get on with it and it’s just a few yards from the Tube.

Bloomsbury
London’s intellectual hub is dotted with parks, museums, and universities. Two famous Charleses—Dickens and Darwin—once called Bloomsbury home, as did Virginia Woolf.
Russell Square
Virginia Woolf gave this pretty swath of green a small role in one of her novels, and it’s not hard to understand why.
Central London
The beating heartbeat of the city, central London has it all, including the touristy sights you need to see on your first trip and the dining you can’t miss when you return.
Covent Garden
With high-end boutiques and buzzy restaurants and bars, Covent Garden is a West End neighborhood you’ll never tire of.
