About Venue
London sets the perfect stage for The Standard’s first hotel outside America, and just like The Standard, this city is anything but. We’re joyfully located on the doorstep of the capital’s most exciting exhibitions, mouth-wateringly good food, cosy pubs, live music, shopping hotspots and historic architecture.
266 bedrooms over 11 categories. 28 suites including our infamous Junior Suite Terraces boasting private terraces with bathtubs.
5 private event spaces located on the 8th, 9th, and 10th floors, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows allowing 360 degree views overlooking St Pancras station and the city of London skyline.
5 Restaurant & Bar outlets offering a variety of cuisines:
- Double Standard Bar and Terrace – mix between a British pub and American diner, best-known for its famous burgers, variety of draught beers and Aperol Spritz Slushies
- Isla – garden restaurant featuring a seasonally-driven, coastal inspired menu. Our private, outdoor Isla Terrace is perfect for private dinners and receptions up to 50 persons.
- Decimo – Spanish-Mexican cuisine restaurant on our 10th floor, only accessible by our red pill lift. Showcases live fire cooking, and 360-degree views of London.
- Sweeties Cocktail Bar – Sweeties is our cocktail bar, discotheque and late-night lounge bringing innovative drinks and glorious misbehaviour to the top of The Standard, London.
- Rooftop Bar – stretching over the 11th floor of the hotel, The Rooftop turns unparalleled views of the London skyline into the perfect backdrop for outdoor cocktails and bubbles on tap.
Michelin-starred Chef Peter Sanchez-Iglesias merges the Spanish cuisine of his family with his love of Mexico for his debut London restaurant Decimo. Expect lots of flavour - gambas rojas, mangalitza pork, mezcal cocktails and a dramatically different tortilla. Situated on the 10th floor, the Decimo dining room is uniquely positioned with floor-to-ceiling windows and dramatic views across the London skyline. Space can also be transformed from a restaurant to host larger parties too!

Awesome 5 nights spent in this hotel, we were so sad to leave. The mattress was super comfortable we knocked out almost immediately after laying on the bed. Really worth it to get the king size bed. One point to note is that the rooms are meant for couples as the bathroom is open and doesn’t have a door (unless you’re okay with that!) 5 star location too- right above Kings Cross tube station which gives you easy access to all the major tourist sights. Not to mention the bus stop right in front of the hotel

this is not your typical hotel! In a good way of course - and it’s not for everyone. Most of the bad reviews here seem due to people not liking the decor and room design which is very subjective. But this place is seriously a modernist gem filled with 70s groovy vibes. Stylish in its own unique way. Everything from signage to brochures and phones and light switches are carefully considered. Staff is super friendly and chill. Kings cross is a bit of a chaotic area but the hotel made sure to always have at least one doorman outside the doors to keep tab on people coming in and out to ensure security. Of course it’s so easy to get anywhere else in London or even Europe by just crossing the street - the tube, many train lines, and even the Eurostar is minutes away If you’re into design and well themed unique hotels, definitely don’t miss out! It’s worth the price.

I very much liked the vibe of this hotel. It was also quite quiet inside, couldn't really hear the street noise at all. I liked my little bunk bed. Branding is on point. Lots of nice little touches.

The Standard is easily one of the best hotels I've stayed at. The thoughtfully designed property is full of surprises around every corner. The library/lounge, bar and beer garden, rooftop area, and the Banksy artwork are just a few of my favorite features. The terrace suite was spacious and I loved the nook with the cushy leather couches and dining area. The view of the city was great and the balcony tub was also a great feature. Lastly, the staff were kind and helpful, especially the upbeat woman who checked us in! Would love to return!
