Beautiful architectural and design details throughout. We arrived early from a red eye flight and the front desk did their best to accommodate us. We really enjoyed the restaurant on site as well as the cocktail bar.The rooms, however, left a lot to be desired. While well maintained, it is deceptively small compared to online photos. The bathroom was so small it is almost non-functional. Lastly, our room specifically had very squeaky floors, not great for light sleepers. Overall, location was accessible, with the tube being right around the corner. Would consider staying again, though would upgrade to a bigger room.

This is such a lovely hotel, on the rather expensive side but this was a splurge. The room we had was tiny, but were offered an upgrade at check-in, which we declined as the $2K USD was a little steep for our 5 day stay. …

We stayed at the Kimpton Fitzroy for my birthday weekend, in the king suite, and couldn't wish for more! This hotel is absolutely stunning, but it is the service that makes it phenomenal. …

Stunning architecture and great service! We were treated very well during our visit.We did find the hotel room a bit small for the price, though. The breakfast buffet could also offer some more variety, and we found it a shame that the hotel doesn’t have a spa area – especially because it would look incredible in such a beautiful and historic building.

Would highly recommend this hotel, from the moment we checked in the staff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us.We stayed in a King suite and the room was stunning, spotlessly clean, and comfortable bed. The bathroom was spacious and luxurious. The complimentary soft drinks and coffee machine were a lovely addition to our Saturday morning.We had coffee and pastries in Burr and Co and I would argue it was one of the best coconut milk lattes I’ve ever had!The cocktail bar was stunning- the staff were really knowledgeable and the food menu here was great. Would highly recommend the cheese board.Breakfast was beautiful with lots of options to choose from at the buffet and also other kitchen items. We will definitely be back to the Kimpton 😊

It’s a beautiful hotel from inside and outside. In general the stay was ok, but I probably wouldn’t go again just because the room was tiny and you have to wait for a while to get fried eggs for breakfast, which doesn’t work when you are in a hurry before work. But maybe double room would make me feel different. The service though was absolutely incredible, people working in the hotel were very kind, friendly and professional.
