The next chapter of The Imperial is built on thoughtful partnerships.

This summer, we’re delighted to welcome Bancone to the heart of the hotel, bringing one of London’s most celebrated dining experiences to Bloomsbury. Fresh pasta, counter dining and a terrace that will quickly become one of Bloomsbury’s best spots to settle in.

It’s a partnership shaped by a shared appreciation for craftsmanship, character and creating places people want to return to.

We’re looking forward to opening our doors together.

Coming soon.
