The Spotlight on The Standard London

Bold Brutalist Style Meets London's Music Pulse

Modern, artsy and buzzing with energy, The Standard London brings its American edge to the heart of King’s Cross. Housed in a restored 1970s Brutalist building, this design-forward hotel is right across from St Pancras International – making it a dream base for concert-goers arriving by train or tube. From sleek rooms with Bang & Olufsen speakers to rooftop hangs and DJ sets, every corner hums with creative energy.

Why Concert-goers love it

With multiple live music venues just a short walk or tube ride away, this hotel is ideal for fans chasing a night of great sound. The in-house Sound Studio regularly hosts DJs and events, creating a music-lovers' vibe even before you head out. After the gig, retreat to your soundproofed room or keep the party going at the rooftop bar. Flexible check-in from 3:00pm and a chill 12:00pm check-out let you sleep in after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a stylish base with nightlife built-in
  • Solo travelers chasing a long-awaited artist with easy Tube access
  • Couples planning a weekend concert break with city views
  • Fans who want a vibrant but soundproof recovery space
  • Style-conscious music lovers happy to splurge a little

Food and Drink Options

  • Isla and Double Standard offer all-day dining, including late-night eats
  • Bottomless brunch every Sunday – perfect after a gig-filled Saturday
  • 24/7 room service for midnight cravings
  • Sweeties cocktail lounge and Decimo rooftop restaurant offer post-show bites and drinks with a view

Nightlife Options

  • Live DJs and music events in the Sound Studio
  • Sweeties Lounge brings the discotheque to your doorstep
  • Plenty of nearby bars and pubs in King’s Cross and Camden
  • Double Standard’s terrace is a popular spot for pre- or post-show drinks

What People Say

  • “Incredible design and vibe – like staying inside a music video.”
  • “Loved the rooftop bar and how close we were to everything.”
  • “Staff were super friendly and made it easy to come in late after a gig.”
  • “Rooms are quiet and comfy despite the lively scene downstairs.”

Areas for Improvement

  • This isn’t a budget stay – but you’re paying for a full-on experience.
  • The bold decor might not be for everyone – think neon, curves, and retro flair.
  • Elevators can get busy, especially during rooftop events.

The Bottom Line

If you want a stylish, music-infused stay with rooftop views and easy access to London’s top venues, The Standard London hits all the right notes.

Worst stay of career of...

Liked: Located is bomb! And staff the security guy helping getting bag to front lobby was great- other then that- no no no
Disliked: Checked in with a family- host saw the family composed of little kids- then I booked a big king bed room and she came back and said I upgraded you to a higher floor- I was like ok- went to the room and looking at the map it was the smallest room on the floor if not whole hotel- 725

Great for the experience of...

Liked: The hotel design and decor is true to period, with some exceptional areas, like the lifts, library, and top floor restaurant. Room superbly decorated, premium King, and great amount of space, light etc.
Disliked: Faulty items in bedroom, like speaker, plug sockets; no bubble bath despite a massive free standing bath, very expensive mini bar, i do not expect when a hotel room costs that much more over a standard room.

Relax trip to London

Liked: The highlight goes to the location, followed by service at the hotel. Specially the security folks at the front door, always with a big smile and nice greeting.
Disliked: I understand London is expensive, not my first time there. Yet I was expecting more from the hotel room due to the rates, in reality I understand the only reason for the rate is the location. We could have stayed a bit more far from the King Cross station, and still be in a very nice area and considerably more cheap. I thought I had paid for breakfast within our rate, but in the end breakfast was not even included, so as a customer I was wondering: why this price ? Short answer: If you either value stay super close to the King Cross Station, or you are up to pay more and be part of the hotel's events, than you are good to go with this hotel, otherwise look around the area and you can find cheaper deals.

Pleasant

Liked: Location was great. Hotel design amazing.
Disliked: Rooms were to small and tight. Although we changed to a shared room, which was buit for disabled access and was much more generous. Arrival was good based on GM conducting our check in, however our transition to an addiitonal room for a final night was poorly managed by staff. No one know what was happening.

A nice stay!

Liked: The location was great and it was very easy to catch the train to different parts of the city. The room was clean and had plenty of space with great lighting. The staff was polite, attentive and allowed us to check in early.
Disliked: We were looking forward to the rooftop bar and was part of the reason we booked the hotel, but it was closed for a private event which was disappointing. Going in we knew it was going to be more expensive than some of the other places we stayed, and I would probably take that into account more carefully if I booked in the future.
