The Memoir Club (formerly Ambassadors Bloomsbury)

Description

The Memoir Club (formerly Ambassadors Bloomsbury) is a 4-star independent boutique hotel located in Bloomsbury, just a 5-minute walk from Euston Station and 10-minute walk from Kings Cross St Pancras. It has 450 sqm of meeting space comprising three suites that can be divided into seven spaces with high-spec inbuilt AV for both in person and hybrid events. A full refurbishment was completed in 2025.

The Memoir Club has 100 bright guestrooms that feature all the modern comforts such as Apple TV, Nespresso coffee machines, free-high speed Wi-Fi, eco-friendly amenities, and plenty of charging points for tech-savvy travellers. To help guests stay on track with fitness goals, there is a gym onsite.

The highly flexible and stylish meeting spaces are perfect for a host of corporate and social events for up to 300. The Memoir Club offers leading technology and inspiring design teamed with bespoke food and beverage options. Keynes, the largest suite, can accommodate up to 144 in a cabaret setting or 264 theatre style. It takes its name from Memoir Club member John Maynard Keynes, one of the most influential economists and philosophers of the twentieth century.

Adeline, the hotel’s bar and restaurant, is designed to make you feel at home, and just a little bit glamorous. You’ll find Eastern Mediterranean dishes on the a la carte menu and small plates menus, which are inspired by Virginia Woolf’s extensive travels. Fixed price menus and bespoke private dining menus are available for groups and parties. Special dietary requirements can be catered for.

This contemporary hotel, although grounded in the present, is inspired by the Memoir Club created in 1920, which saw the regrouping of 12 friends drawn from the deeply influential group of writers, intellectuals, philosophers and artists known as the Bloomsbury Set. Its legacy can be experienced throughout the hotel, from the art deco style interiors to the collection of commissioned artworks, such as the Virginia Woolf portrait that sits in the lobby.
