The long-anticipated wait is almost over: On March 14, the St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel will be open to the public. Until then, take in the stunning photos of gothic interior architecture, as well as insider information on the history and construction, from the March issues of Conde Nast Traveler and Vogue, and February’s Modern Railways.

“It’s a step back into the great history of British cooking, with quirky touches such as mini Cornish pasties alongside prawn cocktails, steaks and oysters,” restaurateur Marcus Wareing, whose new venture The Gilbert Scott will open in St. Pancras, told Conde Nast Traveler.

“[Victorial architect] George Gilbert Scott designed every single window in the building with a different surround,” says hotel general manager Kevin Kelly. “In our restoration, we’ve tried to do justice to this great building.”

We’re talking 22-foot ceilings, an ornate grand staircase, and original murals from the 1800s – just a few of the hallmarks of the £150-million-plus restoration. It’s taken 12 years to get here; hopefully you can wait just a little longer until opening day.

  7. Excellent composition allows for good reception. Really great.

    Keep it on a really good picture.

  8. This is a very nice hotel design. The lobby area has a very nice look and feel – all of the seating gives the room a comfortable feel, and the color palette creates a warm atmosphere. The high ceilings and truss work open up the space and add interest as well. Thank you for posting.
