The Russell Hotel

The Russell Hotel London is a great example of Victorian style, the imposing, nine- story 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 theatres. The Russell Square Underground Station is adjacent to the Russell 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 kilometres away. London's Heathrow Airport is 30 kilometres, or 18 miles, from the hotel.

The hotel is a marvellous example of London architecture. This imposing terracotta hotel features intricate Renaissance architecture and many of its original 1898 features, such as Sicilian marble columns, high vaulted ceilings, huge chandeliers, oak panelling and the grand marble staircase.

The famous architect Fitzroy Doll, who also worked on the grand facilities of the Titanic, designed the hotel. The hotel restaurant that bears his name is almost identical to the one on the ill-fated ship.
