[Vwoolf] Google Alert! The NYX Hotel London

[Neverow, Vara S.]

Greetings,

I just received a Google Alert about a hotel in Holborn...identified as related to the "Bloomsbury Set." The review is by Ralph Blackburn, the politics editor for Farming Life. Hmm.

He writes: "Famous for Virginia Woolf and John Maynard Keynes’ Bloomsbury Set in the early 20th Century, strolling around on a warm summer’s evening I walk past the home of JM Barrie, the writer of Peter Pan, George Williams, the founder of the YMCA, and the workplace of poet TS Eliot."

The hotel itself has (as noted in the article) "everything you need for a great city break from spa to rooftop bar":

Choosing a hotel to stay at on visits to London can be a daunting task.

Located at the intersection of Southampton Row and Theobalds Road the hotel features the "London Colors" exterior artwork by Dan Kitchener, finished in May 2021: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://streetartcities.com/markers/8031ded7-afb6-43bb-8126-0a040124daa6__;!!KGKeukY!11CP25hwTHsBkyuUZooE8iEU93ti6iSjsqDufOgCp7kKN5WlAeehehhpYDB8DTdB39vgAvK3ZaXD-MBPp-EtsXUt5YGV$

You can check in tomorrow starting at around $297 (£226.92)! But on September 25, the lowest price seems to be about $997 (£761.80) (but then it drops again). For anyone who checks in during September, the exhibit "Vanessa Bell: A Pioneer of Modern Art" will still be available to view at the Courthold Gallery....
