Questions of the users
About Kimpton Fitzroy London By Ihg
Is there a bronze dragon statue on site? This could be a special touch for our anniversary celebration next year.
20 February 2024
Indeed, the bronze dragon statue known as Lucky George is a permanent fixture at the hotel. It holds historical significance as only two were created, with the other residing in the Titanic dining hall at the bottom of the ocean.
Are dogs allowed at the hotel? I'm planning to travel with my golden retriever.
15 March 2024
The hotel is pet friendly! Just provide details about your dog's name, breed, weight, and age to ensure a comfortable stay for your furry companion.
Do military or NHS personnel receive any special discounts when booking?
9 April 2024
A promotion is available for direct room bookings that may include discounts for military or NHS personnel. It's advisable to check directly with the hotel for specific offers.
Is it possible to check in early, perhaps around 11am? We'll be arriving from NYC that morning.
25 June 2024
Standard check-in time starts at 3:00 PM. Early check-in is subject to availability, but luggage storage can be arranged if the room isn't ready upon arrival.
Can windows in the rooms be opened for fresh air rather than relying solely on air conditioning?
17 May 2024
All rooms feature windows that partially open to allow fresh air, although they are fitted with restrictors and do not open fully.
What are the dimensions of the available room types? Some clarification would be appreciated to avoid booking a cramped space.

Can you explain the difference, if any, between the Urban Double and the Standard Double room?
3 September 2024
There is no distinction between the Urban Double and Standard Double; they are classified as the same room category. Breakfast can be enjoyed in the designated breakfast area if included with the booking.
What type of room would be best for me, my partner, and our three chihuahuas? Also, are there parking options?
1 November 2024
For a stay with pets, any room can accommodate your chihuahuas. For parking, it's best to check local regulations as the hotel does not provide on-site parking.

30 December 2024
Yes, accessible rooms equipped with Roll-In Showers are available for guests who may need them.
Can a baby cot be arranged in any room? I have an eight-month-old who will need one.
