| Description |
Here are three shots taken of/and- inside the Renaissance London Hotel at St. Pancras station in Central London On the Left a view of hallway to rooms.. Center. The view from outside On Right a view of the wonderful ceiling at the top of a magnificent staircase Sir George Gilbert Scott designed. It is a 5-star hotel – mingling Victorian splendor with contemporary style and service. Step inside the spectacular glazed entrance hall where Victorian high society once alighted from horse-drawn cabs, and stride down the famous grand staircase to dinner in The Gilbert Scott Bar and Restaurant where the brilliant, fresh brasserie cuisine of Marcus Wareing awaits. The luxury hotel boasts 245 guest rooms, including 38 beautifully restored and updated suites. A bit of History.. William Barlow designed St Pancras train station in 1863 and work on site began three years later. The famous Barlow train shed arch spans 73m (240ft) and is more than 30m (100ft) high at its apex. At the front of this impressive station shed is the red brick Gothic façade, which became the Midland Grand Hotel. In 1935, the hotel closed and the building was used for railway offices. The greatest threat to the station came in 1966 when there were rumours of demolition. Thankfully, angry public opinion had been sharpened by the demolition of Euston and Sir John Betjeman stepped up to lead the campaign to save and protect St Pancras. In 1967, the government listed the station and hotel as Grade I. It has since been transformed and restored into one of London's most prized architectural assets. |
