Radisson Edwardian Bloomsbury Street is a sleek, hi-tech business hotel in a desirable central London location - the British Museam's next door, and Oxford Street and Theatreland are a short stroll away. The hotel has abundant conference space, and its sharp, re-vamped design will please those sick of business neutrals.

The facilities

Bloomsbury Street Bar & Restaurant has a sophisticated slant with its low lighting, earth tone decor and airy columned spaces. Order from an innovative seasonal British menu, or head to the saffron-seated bar area for a well-earned cocktail.

Conference and meeting facilities are second to none, with events for up to 300 attendees possible as well as small-scale private dining. Meeting rooms are smart with totally updated AV equipment, including cinematic projection screens and HD video conferencing.

The rooms

174 rooms are totally spacious and comfy - Vi-sprung beds will soothe work-tired bodies, and complimentary Wi-Fi is a welcome tech treat. Rooms are smart but soft-edged: headboards are replaced by padded feature walls, and suites have squashy lounge sets. Sicilian marble bathrooms have power showers.

If you really need to get down to business, Deluxe Rooms have the largest work areas. Meanwhile, those in search of picture-postcard London should check out the suites' rooftop views of Bloomsbury and the British Museum. All rooms have flatscreen TVs, and additional American plug sockets mean some will have one less item to pack.
