The Standard, London, situated in the vibrant neighbourhood of King's Cross, is a distinctive addition to the city's boutique hotel scene. Housed in a Brutalist former local government building, it was creatively transformed by the Standard International hotel group, with a bold design that combines 1970s retro-chic with modern luxury. It's distinguished by its quirky exterior elevator, which gives the impression of a red pill ascending the building's façade, and the rooftop restaurant offering stunning views over London.
The hotel offers 266 rooms in a variety of sizes, from cosy singles to spacious suites. Each room showcases a perfect blend of retro and contemporary aesthetics, with bold colours, custom Italian furnishings, and floor-to-ceiling windows that let in plenty of natural light. The Standard, London also boasts an impressive culinary scene with several restaurants and bars, including the ground-floor Double Standard, serving comfort food and cocktails, and the 10th-floor restaurant Decimo, where Michelin-starred Chef Peter Sanchez-Iglesias merges Spanish and Mexican cuisines.
Located directly across from the King's Cross-St. Pancras transport hub, The Standard, London provides excellent access to local and international destinations. Guests can explore the nearby British Library, the largest national library in the world, and Coal Drops Yard, a shopping and restaurant complex housed within Victorian-era coal warehouses. Other iconic London sights such as the British Museum, Camden Market, and Regent's Park are just a short distance away, making The Standard, London an ideal base for those seeking a unique and vibrant hotel experience.
