At a glanceDesigned 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 Bernerd and Russell Sage pay
homage to the hotel’s illustrious history whilst providing five-star luxury
for the modern traveller.
