A Lutyens-inspired sitting room features a cosy fireplace which is also a focal point of this hotel, while the new eclectic bar, the Coral room, features five bespoke Murano glass chandelier­s, which were specially created for the hip hangout.

ROOMS

The rooms are contempora­ry in design and mimic the quirky accents and charm of the rest of the hotel. A queen size bed, designer rug, roll-top bath and velvet armchairs offer up both comfort and luxury with a bespoke nod to the hotel’s 1920s heritage.

DINE DALLOWAY TERRACE

This chic Al Fresco dining spot is the perfect place for a relaxed evening dinner, or a weekend brunch. Enjoy British classics including pan-roasted venison and lobster thermidor from the all-day dining menu or choose from a mouth watering breakfast menu of green shakshuka, blueberry buttermilk pancakes and rainbow acai bowls.

The Coral room is the hottest after-work drinks haunt in Bloomsbury. Again, designed by the acclaimed Brudnizki,t his seductivel­ylit, red interior clad bar, has a country-meetscity interior which brings a home ly vibe to this upbeat place. The highlight, though? Artisan cocktails and the secluded cigar terrace.
