GREAT DEALS ON LAST-MINUTE HOLIDAYS
A NEW STANDARD OF HOTEL
THEY already have outposts in New York, LA, Miami and the Maldives and now super-cool hotel brand Standard International has opened The Standard London.
Housed in the former Camden Town Hall Annex, overlooking King’s Cross, the design of the 266-room hotel pays homage to its location and the building while recognising the transformation of the neighbourhood.
Executive chef Adam Rawson’s bar, Double Standard, offers lunch, happy-hour and casual drinking and dining, while his garden restaurant, Isla, offers a seasonally-driven, coastalinspired menu. For something a bit more special, Peter SanchezIglesias’ latest restaurant, Decimo on the 10th floor of the hotel, showcases his live fire cooking and the building’s 360-degree views of London.
Guests can choose from 42 room styles ranging from Cosy Core – windowless sanctuaries designed for restful sleep – to terraced suites with outdoor bathtubs overlooking St Pancras. Rooms start from £199.
