A great example of Victorian style, the imposing, nine story Russell Hotel is opposite Russell Square in the historical Bloomsbury section of London, only a short walk from the British Museum, Covent Garden and West End theaters. The Russell Square Underground Station is adjacent to the hotel, offering convenient access to the rest of the city, including the business district, St. Paul's Cathedral, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace less than three kilometers away. London's Heathrow Airport is 30 kilometers, or 18 miles, from the hotel.
This imposing terracotta building features intricate Renaissance architecture and many of its original 1898 features, such as Sicilian marble columns, high vaulted ceilings, huge chandeliers, oak paneling and the grand marble staircase. The building was designed by the famous architect Fitzroy Doll, who also worked on the grand facilities of the Titanic. The hotel restaurant that bears his name is almost identical to the one on the ill fated ship. In the King's Bar, once patronized by Virginia Wolfe, guests can recline in leather armchairs and on Chesterfield sofas. The hotel also features a business center, modern conference rooms, and two ballrooms.

This London hotel features 371 guestrooms feature en suite bathrooms, tea/coffee making facilities, satellite TV, dial up Internet access and video game consoles.
