The Standard, London Taking a Brutalist building in King's Cross and turning it into a £20 million five star boutique hotel with 266 bedrooms, The Standard, London is the first hotel from the well known boutique chain outside America. The former council office block, originally built in the 1970s as an annexe to Camden Town Hall, sits directly opposite St Pancras Renaissance Hotel. The whole building has been upgraded, overseen by Shawn Hausman Design, but the biggest change is to the top floors. An external lift whisks guests from the ground up to the 10th floor where there's a destination rooftop restaurant run by critically acclaimed chef Peter Sanchez-Iglesias whose restaurants in Bristol - Casamia and Paco Tapas - are both Michelin starred. Adam Rawson is in charge of the ground floor restaurant, Isla, which has both indoor and outdoor seating areas and sits alongside Double Standard, the ground floor bar which faces onto Euston Road.
