St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel, London
Expert reviews
“St. Pancras Renaissance first opened as the Midland Grand Hotel in 1873, it reopened in 2011 after a comprehensive renovation. Now it’s one of the grandest hotels in London. The double-height Chambers Suites offer mesmerizing views right into the station.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in King’s Cross, London.
“The St. Pancras Renaissance is easily one of London’s most recognizable hotels. The massive Gothic red brick façade with signature soaring spires was originally opened in 1873 as the Midland Grand Hotel, and was built alongside the St. Pancras train station.”

Attentiveness of staff and the ambience
Ground floor corridor to lifts was a bit gloomy and didn’t quite match the rest of the common areas

Every time I've walked past the building since brings a smile to my face.
The location is excellent when coming from Kings Cross. The room that I'd booked wasn't ready but what was ready turned out to be an upgrade so I was very happy with the room which was spacious and had a decent view. The breakfast was very nice but I didn't like that it was restrictive in the sense you could only pick from certain sections of the menu.

Great location, excellent facilities and wonderful staff.
Great location, very convenient to get on the Eurostar. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. The hostess at the breakfast hall was very friendly and helpful.
We would have preferred if the room had smelt better/ fresher.

The lobby is really grand and they welcomed us with a glass of prosecco each! We arrived from Paris via the Eurostar, and the hotel is attached to the train station which was very convenient. The staff were very accommodating and friendly, and helped us get a taxi when we checked out. Really great location to the train and tube stations.
No complaints.

An excellent location and great facilities, not totally sure that the room did the hotel justice.
Breakfast was fantastic, as was lunch in the Booking Office. The hotel is stunning and in a great location. All the staff were lovely and really helpful. My only slight negative is that the room seemed very standard for the price.

Hotel was great staff great just the uncertainty with key having to always be let into room
Everything about property was excellent
Had to wait along time for room key having to be let into my room by staff quite number off times before eventually receiving key late in the evening Clearly not staffs fault but not great !

The place is not worth the price. We dined in their main restaurant and food were not so tasty
Location- close to everything
I paid 799 per night for a small room. I would expect it to be spacious, suite, and grand with extra perks for the price I paid. Let me just say I have stayed to much beautiful and luxurious room hotel for less than 799 per night in Hilton/ Conrad/Sheraton/Hyatt. The room I got is too much for standard room.

Unforgettable stay in Victorian Era Athmosphere!
The Victorian Architecture sets the athmosphere for a wonderful experience in Central London. The location is about as central as it can get, next to St. Pancras and King's Cross stations. Great experience! Good SPA and Bar as well!
Breakfast could have been more exciting. A bit sparse for the price.

Pleasant
The excellent location close to Eurostar terminal.
The hotel used to be a very high standard but now the rooms are looking very sad and tired.
