Introduction: The Renaissance St
Pancras Hotel is located adjoining St Pancras station (Eurostar and High Speed 1
terminus) and on the north east
corner of central London. While this area is a little way from the main tourist
areas and the surrounding vicinity somewhat downbeat compared to the more
glamorous places the station itself provides some ultra modern facilities. These
include the longest Champagne bar in Europe at 90 meters long. There are several
restaurants and bars including burger bars, bakery, Brasserie, wine bar and a
Gastro pub. For a quick bite many big name coffee shops/Cafes are located within
the station. Shopping is also well catered for with an arcade and other shopping
areas as well as its own market. This location does suit business travellers
looking to have good access to the City of London which is a short taxi ride
away or 7 minutes by train from the adjacent from Kings Cross station. The
popular shopping area of Islington High Street is less than a mile to the east
by lacks the glamour of the more central shopping areas such as Knightsbridge
(2.4 miles) and South Kensington (3.2 miles). A mile to the north is the
shopping High Street of Camden which includes an always
busy market selling a
range of items including trend setting fashions. The nearest tourist area for
nightlife would be Covent Garden
which is just over 1 mile to the south. Some other local places of interest
include the British Library (opposite),
Petrie Egyptian Archaeology Museum (0.5 miles) and
Dickens
House (0.6 miles).
The large open Space of
Regents Park
is less than a mile along the Marylebone Road and is home to
London Zoo. |

| Background: Originally called the Midland Grand Hotel (later St Pancras
Hotel) and built in 1868
after being designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott. The original hotel had a
capacity for 300 guests. The hotel was a striking red
gothic structure at the entrance to St Pancras Station. The hotel closed its
doors in 1935 after being unable to make a profit and was then used as railway
offices until the 1980's. The building was due for demolition the 1960's but
strong support for the building led to it being classed as a grade 1 listed
building (meaning it was protected from demolition). It then became known as the
St Pancras Chambers during its time in obsolescence. During 2007/2009 the hotel was totally refurbished and remodelled while keeping the original facade. The project cost £100 million pounds and involved adding an extension at the rear of the building. Many of the interior existing rooms that have their own history are to be restored to the their original look. |
