The unique setting of The Kingsley blends contemporary comfort and Edwardian charm, and its luxury bedrooms and affordable rates are definitely something to write home about!
With an eye toward the surrounding Bloomsbury area in London's West End, last year we started an extensive £10 million restoration and refurbishment programme at the hotel which completed in July 2009. The investment has seen our Edwardian façade lovingly restored and bedrooms completely modernised with a vibrant colour palette of rich reds, greys and creams, stylish contemporary furnishings and state of the art technology, including LCD TVs. Post-refurbishment, The Kingsley offers room rate discount deals and special offers to complement the upgrade packages of the Hotel.
The public area of this Bloomsbury hotel features a new restaurant and bar which offers a twist of traditional Edwardian charm with modern furnishings and soft atmospheric lighting. Our 7 meeting rooms and conference facilities haven’t been left untouched either with new stylish contemporary furniture, diverse lighting systems and the highest quality AV equipment, all installed to provide an aspiring and productive environment.
But, it’s not just the aesthetic look of the hotel that’s changed; we’ve also changed the name. Formerly known as Thistle Bloomsbury, the hotel has reverted back to its original name of ‘The Kingsley’ as a mark of its literary heritage to the author Charles Kingsley and the Bloomsbury Set.
The Kingsley Hotel, located on Bloomsbury Way in the West End, offers elegant four star luxury accommodation at decidedly affordable prices.
