Stylish coral bar offering cocktails, small plates, and afternoon tea
"It’s impossible to say how many litres of paint this gloriously OTT bar went through to achieve its coral-first aesthetic, but we appreciate The Bloomsbury Hotel’s commitment to colour-blocking. By day, the room plays host to finger sandwiches and raised pinkies for afternoon tea, then steadily fills with thirsty champs enthusiasts come evening. The cocktail menu changes regularly but know that requesting a classic French 75 while sitting under a Murano chandelier just makes sense." - heidi lauth beasley
"The Coral Room’s sole purpose is for looking fabulous while drinking fabulous things with fabulous people in a truly fabulous setting. They are experts with the classics. The bartenders at this spot inside The Bloomsbury Hotel on Great Russell Street make everything with confidence and finesse. Although it’ll set you back at least £16 per cocktail, it’s entirely worth it for a drink that feels less like a beverage and more like a gateway to Glamourville." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna
"The Coral Room will make you feel fabulous. Think a cosmopolitan wunderkind with a deep understanding of why hyaluronic acid is good for your skin and drinking two bottles of cava isn’t. Inside The Bloomsbury Hotel in Bloomsbury, this place is an absolute no-brainer for a round of sophisticated or celebratory drinks, including go-to booze-free spirits from AEcorn and Seedlip." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
"Stop scrolling through Groupon because whatever 20% off deal you find there, the afternoon tea at The Coral Room, a high-ceilinged, artwork-filled room in a Bloomsbury hotel, is better. It’s not cheap, but it’s incredible value for the £55 you spend per person. It involves little egg mayonnaise brioche buns, a pistachio opera cake, and faultless service. You can order as many refills of tea as you’d like, and if you request it ahead of time, they can cater to any dietary requirements. It’s perfect for special occasions and pretty much any time that your priority is good lighting." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna
"If you want to spend your birthday looking fabulous while drinking fabulous things with fabulous people in a truly fabulous setting—The Coral Room got the memo. The bar’s inside The Bloomsbury Hotel on Great Russell Street and they can make absolutely anything you ask for with confidence and finesse. Cocktails are pricey, but it’s entirely worth it for a drink that feels less like a beverage and more like a totally unforgettable experience." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
