United Kingdom Russel Hotel
The Hotel Russell was built in 1898 by the architect Charles Fitzroy Doll and opened in 1900. It is distinctively clad in decorative thé-au-lait ("tea with milk") terracotta and was based on the Château de Madrid near the Bois de Boulogne in Paris.
Its restaurant, which was originally named after the architect but is now called Neptune, is said to be almost identical to the RMS Titanic's dining room, which he designed. Also in the hotel is "Lucky George", a bronze dragon on the second floor stairs. An identical copy was on the Titanic.
The hotel was renamed the Kimpton Fitzroy London on 24 October 2018.
