Is it wrong to go on holiday in the city where you live? Probably a bit, but who cares, as we’ve discovered the most amazing hotel in the world, and it’s right here in London. The St Pancras Renaissance Hotel opened its doors last night to acrobats, slow posing models, celebrities, the super-rich and journalists, to experience the interior grandeur of one of the most imposing and impressive buildings in the city.
Jamie Cullum jazzed, Adrien Brody smouldered, Anouck Lepere danced (and was still dancing when we left), but the highlight of the evening was finding out that the bar – located in the booking office – will be open 24 hours! Finally somewhere more glamorous than WH Smith to hang out when you’ve missed your train. And boy is it glamorous. But while there is a touch of The Shining about the long corridors leading off the lobby, we would totally risk the presence of sinister twins, and blood filled corridors, if anyone wanted us to look after the hotel through the winter. Doubtful, but the offer is always there…
