It’s impossible to walk past this building, not look up and be momentarily awed. Built in 1873 at the height of the golden age of rail travel, it was a railway-hotel par excellence, the Midland Grand Hotel. Designed by Victorian architect Sir George Gilbert Scott – also responsible for London’s Albert Memorial and Whitehall government offices – it oozed luxury from its ornate, red-brick, Gothic Revival looks to its sweeping staircase and church-sized windows. After an ignominious period as offices and then dereliction, it was sumptuously restored, together with adjoining parts of the original station – today’s St Pancras station entrance is at the other end of the block - and re-opened in 2011 with a further refurbishment in 2025.
Retaining many of the hotel’s and the station's original features, from the glass-and-steel canopied station entrance (now the expansive Hansom Lounge) and the cantilevered, stone, Grand Staircase, to the vast Gothic windows, it has been lightened and brightened – rich colours, designer lighting – without losing its Victorian grandeur. Take afternoon tea or a club sandwich in the Hansom Lounge amidst velvet tub armchairs and a glittering gold bar - don’t forget to claim your free rum punch at 5.05pm - leaving space for dinner in the Booking Office (the original station ticket office) with its exposed brickwork, glowing colours, spectacular chandeliers and giant potted plants. On the menu are updated British classics such as buttermilk fried chicken with sriracha and lime yoghurt, cured Scottish salmon, maple-cured pork chop, and stone bass with fennel chutney, as well as grills and oysters.
Then make your way to bed, up the Grand Staircase if you’ve splashed the cash on one of the 38 grandiose Chambers Suites. With towering ceilings, vast Gothic windows and acres of carpets, these rooms have an understated luxury – the architecture says it all – rather than a glittery opulence. Expect fresh colours, luxurious tassled drapes, modern chaises longues and marble bathrooms. The signature suites go a little more Wow with grand wallpapers and freestanding baths.
Most bedrooms are in the new Barlow Wing, a sympathetically designed extension - red-brick, Gothic-style windows - and are by no means shabby. Generous to a fault – some with two double beds – they have a sleek modernity with bold-coloured walls, jazzy-patterned armchairs, walnut furniture and exotic foliage-print feature wallpapers. Modern bathrooms are cool in mint, tangerine and coffee colours with big basins and walk-in showers.
And deep in the basement, in the former kitchens, is a delicious womb-like spa. Small and intimate, it offers six treatment rooms and a richly tiled, relaxation pool and steam-room area that resembles a Turkish bath. After a day doing London's sights, or checking out the hipster joints in nearby King's Cross, this is bliss.
