Hotel Russell was built in 1898 and is one of the finest original four star deluxe Victorian hotels in London. It is superbly located in the heart of Bloomsbury, with the British Museum, Covent Garden and Oxford Street within comfortable walking distance. This majestic historical hotel is adjacent to the Underground and close to all major train stations and airports. The truly magnificent mosiac floor that lies resplendent in the lobby was laid when the hotel was originally built and has been fully restored to its original state after being covered up due to war damage.
