Owner Kit Kemp's fearless signature style fills every corner: bold colour, rich pattern and exceptional craft, all woven together as a heartfelt homage to the Bloomsbury Group, the celebrated circle of artists and writers who gathered just a few streets away.

With Soho a minute's walk away and some of the city's most exciting theatres, bars and restaurants right on the doorstep, this is a hotel that inspires everyone who works within it. We look for people who bring curiosity and warmth, and who take genuine pride in creating something special for every guest.
