Designed by Charles Fitzroy-Doll and originally opened in 1898, The

Principal London occupies the eastern flank of Russell Square in

Bloomsbury, London’s most literary neighbourhood.

The hotel boasts a striking, thé-au-lait (‘tea with milk’) terracotta

exterior, with four British queens guarding the entrance. Inside, striking,

contemporary interior designs by Tara Bernard and Russell Sage pay

homage to the hotel’s illustrious history whilst providing five-star luxury

for the modern traveller.
