Alternatives
Other hotels we have written up that may suit a different brief.
The Bloomsbury
- Best for
- Travellers dividing time between the museum, Soho and theatre evenings.
- Trade-off
- The southern edge is a different setting from Russell or Tavistock Square
The useful distinction here is the Great Russell Street position towards Tottenham Court Road. It makes sense for a trip with a museum day and several West End evenings, rather than a holiday built around the northern garden squares. Dalloway Terrace and the hotel’s bars also support a stay in which dinner and drinks form part of the plan.
Booking tipConfirm the exact family room arrangement and inclusions before comparing the total.
Kimpton Fitzroy London
- Best for
- A longer Bloomsbury stay before an onward train.
- Trade-off
- Further from the railway frontage
A Bloomsbury choice when the London stay matters as much as the next train. Russell Square changes the balance towards a square-side city break with a restaurant, lounges and a broad room range. It trades station-front convenience for a base that rewards more than a single hurried night.
Booking tipReserve the exact room and outlook, and plan the station transfer before choosing a breakfast-inclusive rate.
