The 213-room Hotel, which is part of the Leonardo group, is situated in Bloomsbury right next to the West End , virtually in the shadow of the British Museum. There’s easy access to great shopping, shows and loads of London’s best restaurants. It’s one of London’s most underrated neighbourhoods, with brilliant bars and pubs, as well as history, around every corner.

Advertisement Advertisement Famous for Virginia Woolf and John Maynard Keynes’ Bloomsbury Set in the early 20th Century, strolling around on a warm summer’s evening I walk past the home of JM Barrie, the writer of Peter Pan, George Williams, the founder of the YMCA, and the workplace of poet TS Eliot. I love finding fascinating Blue Plaques, and Bloomsbury is the perfect place for an evening walk with a side of history. And all of this is on your doorstep before you consider the hotel’s amenities, which have all bases covered for an excellent mini break.

In the basement is a stylish swimming pool, sauna and steam room - open from early in the morning until late at night. Advertise.
