The Principal London The Principal London, formerly known as Hotel Russell, is a five-star hotel, located on Russell Square, Bloomsbury, in the London Borough of Camden, owned and operated by the Principal Hotel Company. It was built in 1898 by the architect Charles Fitzroy Doll. It is distinctively clad in decorative thé-au-lait ("tea with milk") terracotta and was based on the Château de Madrid on the Bois de Boulogne in Paris. Its restaurant, which was named after the architect but has since been renamed Tempus, is said to be almost identical to the RMS "Titanic"'s dining room which he also designed. Also in the hotel is ‘Lucky George’, a bronze dragon on the second floor stairs. An identical copy was on the Titanic.
