Four fine air cooled restaurants, awarded 1940 Frand Prix for culinary arts: The Blue Room, Tavern Grill, Lincoln Bar, Cafeteria. Subway direct to all points of interest.

The imposing Victorian façade of Hotel Russell greets visitors. The magnificent mosaic floor in the lobby was laid when the hotel was originally built and has been fully restored to its original state after being covered up due to war damage. The 373 bedrooms at the Hotel Russel have been redesigned. The C. Fitzroy Doll restaurant, which is named after the architect, is said to be almost identical to the RMS Titanic's dining room which he also designed.
