The Imperial

The Imperial Years of History, Fresh Take

This lifestyle destination is a striking new chapter in our story. Opening summer 2026

A bold, modernistic landmark shaped by generations and now reimagined for a new era of curious travellers. The Imperial Hotel offers breath taking views across Russell Square and is within walking distance to the British Museum. Well located with Russell Square underground station a 2 minute walk away, Heathrow Airport is easily accessible via the Piccadilly line. Visit the Night & Day Bar serving food all day, pop into Coffee & Candy for a quick lunchtime bite, or relax in Bar Barella’s for an evening drink with a view. Our wonderful Atrium Bar & Café also serves traditional afternoon tea with Live Piano Jazz on the weekends.
