St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel, Gothic Revival railway hotel in Camden, London, England.
This five-star hotel occupies a restored Victorian building featuring pointed arches, ornate stonework, a grand staircase, and a clock tower that rises 249 feet (76 meters) above Euston Road.
Designed by George Gilbert Scott and opened on May 5, 1873, the hotel originally served as the Midland Grand Hotel for railway passengers arriving at St Pancras Station.
The building has appeared in numerous films and music videos, including the Spice Girls' Wannabe, and remains a celebrated example of Victorian engineering and Gothic design in central London.
Located directly above St Pancras International Station and next to King's Cross, the hotel offers 207 rooms and easy access to Eurostar services and the London Underground at postcode NW1 2AR.
Despite proposals for demolition in the 1960s, preservation efforts led to its Grade I listing in 1967, and the building remained closed for decades before reopening in 2011 after extensive restoration work.
