WHAT WE LOVE...

A quirky five-star hotel in one of London's most famous buildings, the 245 rooms and suites sit behind the neo-gothic facade that Sir George Gilbert Scott designed for the Midland Grand hotel in 1873. The ideal hotel for trainspotters, some rooms overlook the St Pancras Eurostar terminal and a special "suite to seat" service will transport you and your luggage seamlessly through to the trains if you have a departure to Paris or Brussels the next day. Rooms in the newer wing have mid-century elegance, while the chamber suites are full of Victorian splendour with vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. Cocktails and afternoon teas are served in The Hansom by reception, while you can enjoy a crowd-pleasing menu in the 'grammable Booking Office 1869.
