Kimpton Fitzroy London

Kimpton Fitzroy London by IHG holds 334 guest rooms and suites inside a Grade II-listed Victorian building that occupies the entire eastern side of Russell Square in Bloomsbury. The property opened in 2018 following an £85 million refurbishment of the original 1898 structure designed by architect Charles Fitzroy Doll. Each room was styled by Tara Bernerd & Partners with Nespresso machines, Ruark Bluetooth speakers, yoga mats, and Penguin clothbound classic books as in-room touches. The hotel sits a 7-minute walk from the British Museum and 1.1 miles from central London, with Russell Square Station just 0.1 miles away.

The hotel’s event program centers on a restored Grand Ballroom with a private entrance on Bernard Street, a mezzanine gallery, and a full wall of windows, accommodating up to 350 guests for a standing reception or 200 for a seated dinner. The Palm Court, a glass-ceilinged atrium with marble bar and indoor palm trees, functions as a pre-function lounge or standalone event space. Eight additional meeting and event rooms on the lower ground floor handle groups of 8 to 80, including the Carrington-Grant combination space (up to 100 standing), the Keynes Room (up to 60 dining), and smaller boardrooms including the Eliot, Moore, Forster, Bell, and Woolf rooms. All spaces have natural daylight, state-of-the-art AV, and complimentary Wi-Fi.
