Scheduled to open in summer 2026, The Imperial is set to become one of London’s most sought-after lifestyle stays following an extensive transformation that honours its 120-year history
Directly overlooking Russell Square, the hotel’s striking modernist exterior has long been an icon of Bloomsbury. Retained and celebrated as the property enters this new era, the juxtaposition it presents is a statement of intent that reflects the attitude – and perspective – of its next chapter.
The hotel will offer understated luxury across 357 rooms and suites that pay homage to its history, blending mid-century modern inspired interiors with considered touches designed elevate the experience of today’s traveller.
Public spaces will invite guests, Londoners, and locals to come as they are with energetic programming designed to inspire interaction and fuel connections, whilst the tenth-floor rooftop bar will offer uninterrupted views of Russell Square and the capital beyond.
Aptly located in one of London’s most storied neighbourhoods, The Imperial is positioned on the edge of the city’s cultural centre. A stone’s throw from transport hubs, shopping destinations, and the West End, Bloomsbury’s neighbourhood feel features green spaces, independent shops, and quaint cafes that create moments of calm whenever the time calls.
Opening 2026. For more information, visit imperialhotels.co.uk/hotels/the-imperial.
