The house
The ZetterCurated Georgian bolthole
Six interconnected townhouses feel like a collector's private residence, layered with antique textiles, wood-burning fireplaces, and quiet drawing rooms.
“Zetter Bloomsbury is spread across six of these townhouses, complete with an expansive, secret courtyard that backs directly onto the British Museum.”
What it’s good at

Interiors by James Thurstan Waterworth layer antique textiles, reclaimed timber floorboards, and repurposed Turkish rug ottomans.
Notable
Six interconnected Grade II listed Georgian townhouses dating back three centuries preserve original sash windows and grand entrances.
Listed
The Parlour serves evening cocktails alongside a glass-roofed Orangery and a walled garden courtyard for unassigned lounging.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
these spaces feel not just well-designed but well-curated, incorporating as they do a varied selection of antique and modern elements.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set on Montague Street backing onto the British Museum, leafy garden squares and independent bookshops are just steps away.
The rooms
Bedrooms combine reclaimed timber floors with antique curiosities, while select suites add four-poster beds and freestanding tubs overlooking the garden.
The gym and yoga deck
A timber cabin at the edge of the garden holds Nohrd workout equipment and opens onto an outdoor yoga deck.
Dogs stay too.
Bar
The Parlour
The ground-floor bar mixes craft cocktails beside an open fireplace, with French doors leading out to the courtyard.
It’s the craftsmanship that really sets the hotel apart. More than 500 cushions have been made from antique textiles; vintage fabrics have been reworked into upholstery, headboards and lampshades;
At the table
Breakfast and afternoon tea are served in the glass-roofed Orangery, which opens out to the walled courtyard garden.
How it began
Six Grade II listed townhouses dating back three centuries were united to create a single retreat beside the British Museum.
