Pros
- Striking Victorian era architecture with high ceilings
- Historical Chambers rooms have gorgeous period architecture and Club lounge access
- Spacious Atrium lobby with unique history (it was the horse carriage driveway for the rail station)
- Dramatic, elegant property with deep-rooted social history
- Elegant, spacious spa with pool and gym facilities
- REN and Tokyo Milk bathroom accessories
- Excellent service
Cons
- No free Wi-Fi for Barlow section rooms
- Some complaints about poor room insulation and noise
- Rooms vary drastically in character, size, and benefits between the Barlow and Chambers sections
Bottom Line
The 245-room St. Pancras Renaissance London is a romantic, dramatic hotel with a long history dating back to the Victorian era. High ceilings and period architecture were beautifully preserved during a £200 million refurbishment. The Booking Office Bar and Restaurant once served as the original ticketing office for neighboring St. Pancras Rail Station. Rooms are big with soaring ceilings and huge bathrooms, though character varies between the Barlow and Chambers sections of the hotel. Fees are high, for everything from Wi-Fi to filtered water.

Scene
Historic hotel with a bustling vibe
The elegant, romantic St. Pancras Renaissance London impresses with its high arched ceilings, colossal winding staircases, and square glass lanterns. Originally built in 1873 to accompany the newly opened St. Pancras Rail Station, the hotel has many unique historical features including the Atrium lobby, which was used as the driveway leading horse carriages to the rail station. With a £200 million refurbishment and high profile launch, St Pancras Renaissance is a bustling, lively space. The Atrium is a prime spot for people watching by day while the Booking Office Bar is a great spot for evening socializing.
Location
On a major roadway that runs through one of London’s transport hubs
King’s Cross is one of London’s biggest central transport hubs, and accordingly lacks in good cultural and dining spots (most of the surrounding shops cater to travelers). Euston Road is loud and busy at nearly all times of the day and night, but the hotel itself is set away from the hustle and bustle, with its own dramatic winding driveway. If you can find the discreet side entrances, it’s worth using them to avoid the main street.
Rooms
Standard luxury decor in the Barlow section; beautiful classical-meets-contemporary style in the Chambers section
The hotel is divided in two distinct sections. The Chambers section is located in the original restored hotel, dating back to the Victorian era, with dramatic high ceilings and lovely preserved architectural features. The Barlow section is the modern extension of the hotel, and while pretty, it lacks the historic character of its sibling. The difference between the two sections is one of the drawbacks of the hotel. All rooms are inviting with big, modern bathrooms and soft lighting. Rooms in the Chambers section offer access to the club lounge with its free snacks and amenities.
Features
Period architecture, a restaurant and bar, and a spa
The period architecture of this property is a feature in itself. The Atrium, formerly the driveway where horse carriages would approach the station, is full of comfortable lounge space. The Booking Office Bar has gorgeous Victorian architecture too, and attracts both locals and guests for drinks and dinner. A handful of meeting rooms are available for business travelers. The luxurious St. Pancras spa is a clean and elegant space to relax in peace and there is a small fitness center on-site.
