Housed in the former Midland Grand Hotel, a red-brick Gothic Victorian marvel designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1873, the St Pancras Renaissance counts 245 rooms but only 38 of them are in the original building, and only one, the architect's namesake suite, is restored to its Victorian design. The rest are in an extension at the back and rather bland.

　　The hotel's spa is anything but bland, however, with Victorian tiling in the pool. Abundant Victoriana can also be found in the hotel bar and restaurant.
