Grand architecture and attentive service

superb locationcomfy bedhelpful staffcustom chocolates
The location is superb, right next to Russell square station. The hotel gave a nice note and four chocolates for my anniversary. Check-in was quick and the staff was helpful. The cleanliness reached another level, a beautifully appointed room with a gorgeous comfy bed. I found a wide range of pillows.
The bar closed a bit early. I thought that was odd for such a great hotel.
