St Pancras Renaissance Hotel interiors
The St Pancras Renaissance Hotel opened in 2011 after a decade of
restoration of the former Midland Grand hotel, which had closed in 1935, after which the increasingly shabby and run-down building was used by BR as offices until 1985. After a campaign to save it, the restored building now has a new life. Luckily no real damage was done to the interiors, which have now been lovingly restored, and the old building is used for a mixture of hotel rooms and apartments, liked by the famous Grand Staircase. The hotel also a new modern bedroom Barlow wing, which I didn't look at. I finally managed to take an upstairs tour this week, having previously only seen the parts open to the public at lobby level. Here's some ultra wide angle pics (18mm, in 35mm terms), for whose who've not been able to see the hotel's sumptuous interiors: http://www.flickr.com/photos/recline...7636148343593/ |
