The Standard London - A 5-star hotel in King's Cross with terrace suites, a rooftop bar, and library lounge

The Standard London occupies a 1974 Brutalist building in King's Cross, offering 266 rooms with terraces, outdoor bathtubs, and views of St Pancras station. Accommodations range from snug Cosy Cores to spacious Suite Terrace rooms, featuring Bang & Olufsen Bluetooth speakers, Italian sheets, and stocked minibars. Guests at Double Standard, the hotel's bar and restaurant, can order the signature burger or an Aperol Spritz slushy. Decimo, a 10th-floor restaurant by Michelin-starred chef Peter Sanchez-Iglesias, serves Spanish-Mexican cuisine with city views. The Library Lounge, once Camden Council's library, holds curated books and hosts DJ sets in its sound studio. The Rooftop on the 11th floor serves cocktails and pizza with panoramic skyline views. The Standard is 800 meters from London Euston station and 700 meters from Russell Square.

Pros
