Welcome
President Hotel
Stay in the heart of the action in this classic Bloomsbury hotel. With fabulous views over Russell Square, the President Hotel is the perfect base for your London trip. Conveniently situated a minutes’ walk from Russell Square underground station, it’s a great location to enjoy all that London has to offer.
As you enter the hotel’s stylish lobby and make your way through to reception, you will notice a subtle nod to the 60’s emanating from the hotels’ shapely furnishings and bold artworks.
In the summer of 1963, the famous rock pop band The Beatles moved from Liverpool to London, and the President Hotel became their temporary home before they moved to Mayfair. The inspiration behind the design for the hotels interior décor arose from The Beatle’s stay, and you will also notice some striking black and white photos of the band around the hotel.
Many of the 523 guest rooms overlook Russell Square, with the BT Tower and the British Museum’s spectacular glass domed roof peering out in the distance.
Choose from single, twin or double en-suite rooms, all decorated in classic tones, with touches of old-world charm reflected in the bespoke headboards featuring historic London scenes. You will also find everything you need for a comfortable stay, including free wi-fi to keep you connected throughout your visit. Not forgetting a substantial English breakfast each morning, when booking any of our breakfast inclusive rates.
The hotel is perfectly situated for leisurely days sightseeing around nearby Covent Garden and Oxford Street. Take a stroll to the British Museum or wander down to the Coal Drops Yard – a hip new shopping destination and foodie hotspot in Kings Cross. If you are looking to explore further afield, the London underground at Russell Square will connect to the rest of London in minutes.
Make time for a mid-day bite to eat whilst surrounded by a touch of Art Deco elegance at the hotel’s Atrium Bar. Or grab a takeaway lunch on the go to enjoy on your travels.
The hotel’s Atrium Bar will keep you topped up with coffee during your stay, along with pastries and perfectly toasted paninis. The Atrium links the President Hotel with our Imperial Hotel, allowing easy access for guests to make use of the Imperial’s facilities too.
