Slap bang in the middle of London’s West End, The Bloomsbury hotel is the ideal destination for theatre lovers. An elegant Grade II-listed neo-Georgian townhouse standing just moments from some of the West End’s biggest theatres, including The Dominion and The Piccadilly, it’s also a stone’s throw from Soho, Covent Garden and Oxford Street, promising all the sight-seeing and lively urban atmosphere you could wish for. 

Whether you’re making a day of it, or are just in London for the evening, what better way to complement your theatre trip than with a pre-show meal or post-play tipple? The Bloomsbury has you covered, from set menus at its beautiful Dalloway Terrace, to cocktails at The Bloomsbury Club Bar, or even a special themed afternoon tea. Each is available individually or, if you fancy an overnight stay, go the whole nine yards and book one of its special theatre packages to enjoy a night in one of the elegant rooms or suites. Read on for the full low-down… 

The Bloomsbury’s exclusive theatre packages

Being in the heart of London’s theatre district, The Bloomsbury offers several hotel packages to make the most of the city’s cultural scene. From A Night at The Donmar to The Devil Wears Prada, each is designed for two people and features a pre-theatre meal at Dalloway Terrace and tickets to the latest show, plus a restful night’s sleep in one of the hotel’s rooms, complete with breakfast the following morning. A package that covers all bases for the perfect night in Theatreland, book your stay, take the stress out of organising the details and make your getaway that extra bit special. 

A Night at The Donmar

With a highly anticipated schedule of shows throughout 2025, from Backstroke starring Celia Imrie and Tamsin Greig, to the hilarious comedy Dealer’s Choice, which returns for its 30th anniversary to the romantic Intimate Apparel, The Donmar is home to some of this year’s hottest cultural happenings. Book with The Bloomsbury and it will take care of all the extras for you, from dinner to bedtime to breakfast. 

A Night at The Donmar package is available until 31 December 2025.

The Devil Wears Prada

The Bloomsbury has partnered with The Devil Wears Prada musical, offering an exceptional package to take your experience to a whole new fashionable level. Just a three-minute walk from The Dominion Theatre, you’ll be wined and dined before the show and enjoy a premium room or suite when night comes. A la carte breakfast will be served the next morning and you’ll get a programme signed by the cast. Miranda Priestly would most definitely approve. 

The Devil Wears Prada package starts from £475 and is available until 31 May 2025.

Pre-theatre dining at Dalloway Terrace 

Why not fully embrace your evening out in London and treat yourself to a pre-theatre meal at Dalloway Terrace, The Bloomsbury’s stunning all-season restaurant? A secret garden-style setting with gorgeous foliage and floral decor, the terrace is relaxed and cosy, perfect for tucking into a delicious feast before heading out into the West End. Served daily from 5pm until 6.30pm, choose between two or three courses from the Modern European menu, each served with a zesty Mandarin Mimosa. Starters include Tuscan-style Ribollita soup and Baltic smoked salmon, while mains feature roasted baby chicken, Massaman red curry, and glazed hispi cabbage with pickled walnuts and herb crumb. Save room for creme brûlée or Assam sticky toffee pudding for dessert and be well on your way to a decadent night of treats. 

The pre-theatre menu starts at £34 per person.

The Runway Afternoon Tea at The Coral Room

If you consider yourself a fan of The Devil Wears Prada *and* are a tea-drinking, cake-indulging foodie, don’t miss afternoon tea at The Coral Room. Stepping inside the glamorous 1920s-style space – think chandeliers, coral-splashed walls and a decadent marble bar – you’ll be greeted with a delicious, playful menu inspired by the comedy-drama-come-musical sensation. 

The Runway afternoon tea includes a selection of refined finger sandwiches to start, including cucumber and crème fraîche campillous and smoked salmon rillette sub rolls, followed by beautifully light buttermilk and sultana scones, accompanied by Cornish clotted cream and homemade plum jam. The real showstoppers, though, are the patisserie which combine haute couture style with fabulous flavours to create a delicious selection of sweet treats that are skillfully designed to nod to different famous moments in the musical.

Try the ‘No foam skimmed latte with an extra shot’ (a hazelnut opera cake with coffee and caramel), the ‘Everybody wants this’ red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting and ‘A single cube of cheese’ New York cheesecake. The star of the show, of course, is the iconic ‘Lumpy blue sweater’, made from speculoos sable biscuit with dulce de leche. That’s all.

The Runway Afternoon Tea is priced at £55 per person, or £70 per person with a glass of champagne. 

Post-show cocktails at The Bloomsbury Club Bar

For a post-show tipple before bedding down, head to The Bloomsbury Club Bar for a late-night cocktail in a chic setting. Designed in a speakeasy style, the bar is as intimate and cosy as it is bold and sophisticated. Prop yourself atop a stool at the bar, or nestle into one of the sofas, and enjoy a selection of drinks that will entice all the senses. The new ‘Egypt’ menu boasts mixologies including Anubis (God of the Dead) – a dark, sharp concoction of cognac, Amaro Nardini, dates and cardamom bitters – and Se Shen – a light and floral mix of gin, berries, hibiscus and rose soda. Open until 1am, with live jazz bringing a laidback, vibey ambience, stay up for a nightcap to remember.
