KIMPTON FITZROY LONDON,
BLOOMSBURY
For grandeur fit for a royal, check
in to this palatial 330-room grand dame,
whose decorative heritage-listed
terracotta façade dates back to the
late 1800s and whose generously
proportioned contours take up an entire
city block overlooking Russell Square.
Luxury here is of the all-out type, from the
gleaming marble lobby (you’ll want to
change out of your flight-mode trackpants
before arriving) to the handsome rooms
with their vanilla and hazelnut gelato
colour palette and oversized Italian marble
hamam-style bathrooms. Sip on a Negroni
at Fitz’s bar – an intimate drinking nook
cosseted behind a velvet curtain, before
crossing the lobby to Neptune for dinner,
where the creamy pastel cruise-ship
ballroom decor is the perfect match for
a menu that champions British seafood.
Rooms from $390/night.8
