The Staunton is an imposing Georgian town house hotel located in Bloomsbury, in the heart of central London. The hotel is very popular with tourists visiting the capital with its abundance of nearby attractions, and with business travellers, wanting to be centrally located to London's West End.

This family run business has been in the same ownership for over 30 years, offering high quality accommodation to its guests. Since acquiring the hotel, our clients have established an excellent reputation for the hospitality they offer, with many guests coming back year on year.

The hotel has been very well maintained by the current owners, who continually upgrade and modernise the buildings.
