The Dalloway Terrace is a charming indoor/outdoor restaurant which is fully heated in the winter and popular for its afternoon tea. The vibrant ‘Grand Salon Bar’ The Coral Room is inspired by the glamour of the 1920s and adorned with five bespoke Murano glass chandeliers. Beneath the hotel is the atmospheric Bloomsbury Club, replete with plush leather chairs, dark wood-panelling and regular live jazz performances. There are 153 stylish bedrooms including 12 spacious suites, all with marble bathrooms.
