A 19th-century beauty meets the London of today: that's what you'll find at Kimpton Fitzroy London Hotel. From the outside, the landmark building, which occupies a full block along the eastern side of Russell Square in Bloomsbury, looks every bit the part of grande dame. Inside, though, contemporary interiors beckon the discerning traveler to settle in and stay a while—Negroni (or two) in hand. Kimpton Fitzroy London is a landmark hotel, occupying a full block along the eastern side of Russell Square in Bloomsbury. Take an interactive journey through the hotel to discover the beauty within. Welcome to London. Overlooking one of London’s lovely garden squares in the heart of central London, Kimpton Fitzroy London is perfectly poised to take advantage of the city's many delights. Bloomsbury, London's bona fide cultural and literary capital, is home to the British Museum and various universities, and the neighborhoods of Marylebone, Mayfair, and Covent Garden are also nearby, making the promise of an afternoon souvenir-hunting at the Sunday Upmarket or watching Yotam Ottolenghi's team at work at Rovi both within reach. After a day spent exploring, return to Kimpton Fitzroy London, either for Afternoon Tea at Palm Court, or for a nice, stiff cocktail at Fitz's.

“Overall a beautiful hotel in a very nice location. Very nice staff focused on hospitality. Stayed in the Queen premium room park view which was very small for two people. The room itself was nicely designed and comfortable, but with very little space to live around. Bathroom was as pictured , and the walk in rainfall shower was plenty big enough for me at 6’7”! Hot water pressure was pretty bad however.
Fitz’s bar was a nice first evening start. Small bites of food were very tasty, scotch egg, steak skewers and the best being the parmesan fries!
Breakfast staff in the Galvin were super nice and accommodating. The omelette was the best meal I had there, eggs Benedict was disappointing!
Overall beautiful property, comfortable and the staff were a highlight. For the price, wish the room was larger.”

“Great location and friendly staff. Let me check in 3 hours early which was greatly appreciated after an overnight flight.
Be warned the images on the website can be misleading.
Booked a room with floor to ceiling windows directly across from the square. 100 pounds extra but would be a nice treat…..except room is nothing like the image when booking. Inquired with the check in staff and was told rooms do look different as it’s an old building.
Not a train smash but definitely not what I expected.”

Great location. Amazing beautiful historical building and great facilities. Good size room (we had a deluxe double beds room). Restaurants were great with professional staff but the rest of staff such as cleaners who forgot to fill fridge at times or receptionist who was not attentive and engaging were a bit disappointing.

Very friendly helpful staff.
Breakfast is nice. Vegetarian sausages are not nice.
The hotel is quite dark but nice quality.
Rooms could be bigger but beds are super comfortable. There is no milk for the coffee and only one small cupboard for a twin room. I only stayed one night so not an issue.
Bathroom spacious and clean.

This review is entirely based on using the public facilities - I did not stay at the hotel.
Exceptional building at Russell Square with excellent service from both the hotel and hospitality staff.
Full of digital nomads until about 5PM, and then taken over by the social crowd.
Casual service at the bar, but a few creative concoctions on offer that one might try.

We spent a lovely weekend in one of the suites, it was stunning. The hotel staff were so friendly and attentive, even happy to bring up a HDMI cable for us to use. Cannot fault the hotel. A memorable anniversary for us.

Fantastic stay at the Kimpton Fitzroy. The hotel is fabulous, our junior suite was gorgeous (my husband wants to have the same design at home now), the food was great but most importantly, the team made us feel very welcome - as if we were regular guests (which we arent unfortunately). The team was helpful, friendly, and no matter what time of day, even behind the mask we could feel the team smiling to all guests.

An incredible, high quality hotel in a perfect location. We loved the room, the food, and especially the incredible bar! Can't wait to revisit for another weekend away.

Stunning property with fantastic staff. Greeted warmly upon arrival by polite and welcoming porters who showed us to reception. Professional and friendly reception staff made check in a breeze. Reservation at Fitz's was again a winning experience with incredible cocktails in a relaxed and ambient setting, the giant disco ball being the cherry on the top of a fabulous hotel experience. 100% recommend and will be back. Thanks all for a wonderful stay.

A lovely, monumental location in London. It's architecture is a tribute to London and it's location makes its easily accessible by London Underground as well as if you are driving to the location ( as there are public parking spots around Russell Square ).
The staff seem friendly and ready to always help. Keep up the great service, and see you again soon.

Stayed for 3 nights on a trip to London. The hotel is absolutely stunning, with well appointed rooms, comfortable beds and helpful, friendly staff. Also in a great location, with Trafalgar Sq about a 20min walk.
Unfortunately I've knocked a star off as the staff at breakfast were not the best. 10 minute wait for a black coffee on the first morning (only 5 tables in), had to ask twice for coffee on the second morning, with it being offered in a takeaway cup when it eventually arrived as we had finished breakfast and were heading out.
Our final morning wasn't much better, however it was toast this time. 20 minutes for toast to arrive after asking twice.
I am being extremely critical with the above but the service experienced doesn't fit with the overall impression or stay you expect at a hotel of this standard.
That said I would most definitely stay again.

The Kimpton Fitzroy is by far the best place I have stayed at in London. The service was top-notch, the beds were so comfortable and the rooms were quite spacious. We stayed there for a special occasion and the hotel is beautifully decorated and everything appears to have been recently renovated. Check-in and the front desk was so helpful and I really liked the text message updates about our room and our reservations. I highly recommend splurging for one of the suites, as the bathroom was absolutely stunning with a huge walk in shower and had one of the best bathtubs I've ever used. The building itself is gorgeous and I also definitely think you should try to grab a cocktail at Fitz's bar if you have some time. I've stayed in so many hotels over the years for work all over the world and this one really blew it out the water for me!

Beautiful hotel with an amazing cocktail bar! Danielle looked after us all night and made sure we had everything we needed. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast was delicious.
Highly recommended!

Just returned from a welcome weekend break at the Kimpton Fitzroy in Russell Square. A relatively recent multi-million pound upgrade and refit really shows from the moment that you enter the incredible entrance hall. If you like lush furnishings and beautiful design, then this is your place. Handily placed for the tube and British museum, attractions are close at hand. One of the best things we found in relation to this luxury hotel was the extremely friendly and helpful staff. Staff in all key areas were superb. Special mention to Dorine who went above and beyond on our last day. Would recommend for a refreshing change in a stunning central five star hotel.
