Victorian Splendour • Russell Square

A 19th-Century Masterpiece Reimagined

Rising majestically along the entire eastern perimeter of historic Russell Square in Bloomsbury, Kimpton Fitzroy London is an iconic late-Victorian landmark originally designed in 1898 by legendary architect Charles Fitzroy Doll—the very visionary who designed the dining salon on the RMS Titanic.

Clad in ornate "the'au-lait" terracotta with life-sized statues of British monarchs guarding the grand portal, this palace hotel combines grand dame heritage with Kimpton’s contemporary, unpretentious hospitality. Inside, dramatic marble archways, ornate mosaic flooring, and "Lucky George"—the storied bronze dragon mascot—welcome discerning travelers.

The hotel’s 334 guestrooms and suites blend modern British sophistication with vintage nods, featuring plush king beds, marble bathrooms with freestanding roll-top soaking tubs, rainfall showers, and captivating vistas over Russell Square’s lush canopy.

Architectural Heritage

The Titanic Connection & "Lucky George"

Originally opened in 1898 as The Hotel Russell, this Victorian landmark is deeply entwined with British design history. Architect Charles Fitzroy Doll was subsequently commissioned to design the first-class dining salon on the Titanic, making its opulent dining room almost identical to the ill-fated ship's salon.

Guarding the grand staircase is "Lucky George," a bronze dragon cast in the 1890s. Its twin on the Titanic was lost at sea, while George safely watches over Fitzroy guests today. Guests can rub George's snout for good luck before exploring the historic squares of Bloomsbury.
