Dining

On-site dining includes Fitz's Brasserie and Galvin Bar & Grill, where Michelin-starred chefs create seasonal menus with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options. The hotel's cocktail menu is inspired by the sensory phenomenon of synesthesia, focusing on how color perception influences taste. A Social Hour provides complimentary drinks for guests daily, adding a scheduled social touch to the stay.

Amenities

The hotel welcomes pets with no additional pet fees and provides pet baskets and pet bowls for canine guests. In-room extras available on request include a complimentary red light mask and a Theragun massage device, as noted by guest reviews. Additional amenities include a minimarket on site, soundproof rooms, and a coffee house in the lobby.

Leisure

The fitness centre offers personalized training options with a personal trainer available for guests. Guests can borrow free bicycles for exploring the area or join walking tours organized by the hotel. Creative programming includes tarot experiences and wellness packages, providing structured recreational activities beyond standard hotel offerings.

Points of Interest

The hotel overlooks Russell Square, with the British Museum a short walk away and Euston Station within easy reach for onward travel. London City Airport is 14 km from the property, and major sights like Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus are within 2 km. The concierge provides recommendations for nearby attractions including the Foundling Museum and the Charles Dickens residence and museum.

“There's a palpable sense of history meeting modern luxury here, from the grand architecture to the thoughtfully updated rooms. I appreciate the hotel's inclusive approach to pets, a refreshing touch. The cocktail menu, inspired by synesthesia, suggests a dedication to unique sensory experiences.”
