We spent Christmas eve and Christmas at the Kimpton Fitzroy and have no regrets. Such a classy establishment. Every inch of the facility is dripping in design. You want to spend time there. We had a wonderful time trying out creative cocktails in the bar on Christmas night and enjoyed our chat with the bartender. Everyone there was absolutely lovely. I would recommend it to anyone and I will definitely stay there again.
Christmas exploded all over the lobby and every common area. It was magical.
We were treated to a Christmas stocking on our door when we woke up Christmas morning. Such a nice tough.

We paid for a park view and got one with a beautiful view of the British Museum. However, the particular room we were assigned was tiny. (Rm 500) I think that was just bad luck. The hotel was gorgeously decorated for Christmas. A nice classic older hotel. There is a tube station right around the corner from the hotel but we mostly walked everywhere. The Bloomsbury neighborhood had some cute bars and restos. The cocktail lounge at the hotel was really nice, but we had poor service both nights we stopped in. Had to ask for our check multiple times and it wasn't that they were that busy maybe just understaffed.

Being able to check into our room early really got our stay off to a great start as we were arriving after a long flight. The staff were very kind, friendly and anxious to help in any way. The fluffiness of the towels was another level and everything about the hotel spoke of quality and attention to detail.
