The St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel forms the frontispiece of St Pancras railway station in St Pancras, London. The station is one of the main rail termini in London and the final stop for international trains departing to Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and other destinations in mainland Europe. It re-opened in 2011, and occupies much of the former Midland Grand Hotel designed by George Gilbert Scott which opened in 1873 and closed in 1935. The hotel is managed by Marriott International.[4][5]

The building as a whole including the apartments is known as St Pancras Chambers and between 1935 and the 1980s was used as railway offices.[6] The upper levels of the original building were redeveloped between 2005 and 2011 as apartments by the Manhattan Loft Corporation.[7] Its clock tower stands at 76 m (249 ft) tall, with more than half its height usable.[1]

The hotel is located in the vicinity of Euston, King's Cross and St Pancras railway stations.[8]
