Thistle Hotels' London property, The Kingsley is celebrating
the 1st birthday of its multi million pound refurbishment and rebrand
with the launch of its first ever in-suite library for guests. Drawing
on its heritage as the former home of Charles Kingsley and the
Bloomsbury set of writers, The Kingsley will offer guests staying in
its suites access to an exclusive series of 'lost classics' brought
back into print by local publishing company, Bloomsbury Publishing.
Guests partial to a book before bedtime will also be treated to a luxurious Thistle
reading pillow and complimentary hot chocolate in each of the suites, with regular
guests being able to take the books out on loan, returning them on their next visit.
Literary bloggers and authors have shared their suggestions of cherished books for
the library with selected books available in each room, or a full reading list can
be ordered free of charge from reception. Titles on offer include 'Henrietta's
War' by Joyce Dennings, 'Love's Shadow' by Ada Leverson, 'Mrs. Ames' by E.F
Benson and a host of other great classics from the early twentieth century.
The Kingsley from Thistle recently underwent a £10million refurbishment and
restoration programme which saw the property restored to its former Edwardian
splendour. Formerly called Thistle Bloomsbury, the hotel also reverted back to its
original name as a mark of its literary heritage. The refurbishment programme has
seen the hotel transform into a stylish and relaxing haven in Central London,
perfect for both business and leisure travellers.
Johan Scheepers, General Manager of the hotel comments: "We are incredibly proud of
our hotel's heritage so want to invite our guests to share in our exclusive
literary past and relax and unwind with one of the many great books available from
The Kingsley's library. Whether you're one of our regular customers visiting on
business, or a passing leisure guest, you should always make time for a good book so
just give us a call and we'll deliver it to your door."
Notes to editors:
The Kingsley's library of books is available to Junior Suite residents or regular
guests who frequently visit the hotel.
