A Look at St. Pancras London, as Seen by Times Traveller
At St. Pancras London, Autograph Collection, the building has always been more than a hotel. It is a place shaped by travel, movement and moments of pause… where history and modern life exist side by side. Sitting above one of London’s busiest transport hubs, the hotel continues to evolve while remaining deeply connected to the rhythms of the city around it.
A recent review by Times Traveller reflects on many of these same themes. The article focuses on the building’s Victorian Gothic architecture, its origins as a railway hotel and its restoration as one of London’s most recognisable landmarks. It also explores how this heritage continues to shape the experience of arriving at the hotel today, where grand public spaces sit directly above the constant movement of the station below. Alongside this, the review highlights the recent refresh of the rooms and suites, noting updated interiors that balance bolder design choices with original architectural features, as well as the role of Booking Office 1869 as a social and dining destination within the former ticket hall.
Reading the review, what resonates most with us is how closely these observations align with what St. Pancras London has always represented. We see the hotel not simply as a place to stay, but as a meeting point: between past and present, travel and stillness, heritage and contemporary life. From moments of energy in our public spaces to quieter experiences in the spa and beyond, that balance continues to define how guests move through the building.
Being reviewed by Times Traveller is, for us, less about individual details and more about recognising the wider story the hotel continues to tell. St. Pancras London remains inseparable from the city itself; shaped by history, defined by travel and constantly evolving alongside London.
