Vote for: How would you rate the Myhotel Bloomsbury in London?
rate hotels | Jul 6th, 2011 | by Owen Ferguson
A smooth, smart and professional design hotel in London, myhotel Bloomsbury is the more serious, masculine sibling of myhotel Chelsea. It's built to appeal to a more business-minded clientele than Chelsea's Flower Show-esque weekenders and lunching ladies. The theme at this hotel is 'east meets west'-read: corporate-neutral with splashes of interesting Asian chic. Orchids and oil-burners add to the eastern sensibility (myhotel Bloomsbury always smells deliciously exotic). It was designed with the principles of Feng Shui in mind, so you can realign your chi while you sleep, with no effort on your part at all. How would you rate this nice hotel?

It is possible to find modest eateries serving open sandwiches ("smørrebrød") - the traditional and best known Danish lunch dish, however, most restaurants serve international dishes.
