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.
