The five -star hotel was designed by star -victorian architect Charles Fitzroy Doll -who inspired the phrase ‘All Doled Up’
The 334-room hotel was one of the first in London to offer en-suite bathrooms and electric lighting in each room
The phrase ‘All Doled Up’ is often linked to Architect Doll, known for its lush and highly decorative design style.
His work is believed to have inspired the expression, reflecting the extravagant decoration associated with the attraction.
When the Kimpton Fitzroy opened in 1900, the hotel was also one of the first in the city that offered en -suite bathrooms and electric lighting in each room – both features of innovation at the time.
Much of his original character lasts today – from the complicated mosaic floor in the foyer to his legendary bronze dragon, Lucky George, who has been watching on the second floor since the first day.
At the command of doll, an identical dragon was placed aboard the Titanic and eventually sunk with the ship.
According to legend, you will rub the head of Lucky George and make a wish, but good luck to you.
The large entrance to the hotel still houses the original floors and wall walls. In the entrance is a complicated mosaic-inspired mosaic with a focal point of a wink.
The floor contains the fascination of the Victorian era with astrology and mysticism.
