The Bloomsbury, a property dating to 1928 on Great Russell Street in London, will unveil the final phase of a multimillion-dollar redesign in November.

The project is being led by Bernie Gallagher, chairman of the Doyle Collection, in collaboration with the Martin Brudnizki Design Studio.

The newest features of the 153-room hotel, originally designed by English architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, will include a reception area, a guest lounge and the Coral Room bar.

The new interior will feature five Murano glass chandeliers, a Lutyens-designed fireplace, 36 original pieces of art by British illustrator Luke Edward Hall and a Calacatta marble-topped bar.

The restoration also extends to the original entrance, which now features a glazed canopy and the stone steps leading into the lobby.

This phase of the renovation comes on the heels of the debut of the Dalloway Terrace and the Bloomsbury Club Bar in 2016.

The redo mirrors the transformation of the Bloomsbury neighborhood, which will include the refurbishment of the British Museum, set for completion in 2018.

The Doyle Collection's portfolio comprises eight properties in Ireland, the U.K. and the U.S.
