Review of St Pancras Renaissance

Wonderful piece of Victorian architecture designed...

Wonderful piece of Victorian architecture designed by George Gilbert Scott in central London. Originally opened in 1873 as the Midland Grand Hotel to serve the company s train station, it closed in 1935 because it lacked modern utilities. It became offices until the 1980 s.

The building was Grade 1 listed in 1967. The building was approved for redevelopment in 2004 and reopened in 2011, 138 years after it originally opened. The upper floors of the building were turned into apartments and the rest was became hotel rooms.
