STYLE AND SUBSTANCE
There are few hotels where you can combine business and the dynamic buzz of London nightlife. Hop off the train at Euston, and just across the road from St Pancras, The Standard offers you the best of both worlds. From the moment you arrive you know this is not your ordinary, functional, stuffy hotel. The former Camden Town Hall building has been transformed into a trendy, modern escape that is anything but simply Standard. With a bright red elevator running up the outside of the building to the fabulous rooftop restaurant, to the chilled library lounge on the ground with the sound studio and DJ, this is casual hip with the emphasis on fun. The buzz in the air is wonderfully infectious.
ROOMS THAT ROCK
Open the door to your own private party in a cool, stylish room with everything you need to set the tone for an upbeat stay or a relaxing chill. Every room has a Bang & Olufsen Bluetooth speaker, a generously stocked mini-bar, even down to the lemon and limes for your G&Ts, to a large TV and trendy décor. Alternatively grab the funky Craig Green robes and snuggle down on the large comfy beds and fluffy down pillows. We were in the stunning King of Kings room, with a freestanding bath, seating area and magnificent floor to celling views of the city, looking out to The Shard, the London Eye, and the city’s bright lights. For those wanting to entertain in style, chose a terraced suite with an outside bathtub.
DINE IN STYLE
Michelin-starred chef Peter Sanchez-Iglesias merges Spanish and Mexican cuisine with tapas style food in Decimo. The restaurant has a rooftop terrace offering 360 degree views of the city. For casual dining the Double Standard serves hearty bar food, draught beers and classic cocktails while Isla serves seasonal cuisine with a focus on fresh vegetables and seafood - not to mention a fantastic healthy breakfast.
Rooms from £199 per night. More details at www.thestandardhotels.com/London
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
