Marriott at St Pancras

JW MARRIOTT jr, the efflorescent Chairman and CEO of Marriott International has been in London to appraise work on the prestigious Renaissance St Pancras Hotel, due to open in 2010.  During his visit Mr Marriott was shown some of the painstaking restoration work that is going on at the landmark 323,000sq ft Grade I English Heritage listed Victorian building.  Plans for the 245 guestroom hotel include a restaurant, two bars, a health and leisure centre, a business centre, a ballroom, a function room and eight meeting rooms.  During the restoration programme, the external appearance of the original building is being retained and a sympathetically designed hotel extension is being added at the rear.  All the internal rooms of historic significance are being restored to their former glory.  The original main building will house 52 guestrooms.  The balance will be located in the new wing. www.marriott.com
