HISTORICAL NOTE: curved plan reflects the original alignment
of Pancras Place, now Pancras Road. The hotel was one of the
first to include rooms on the "continental system" with
bedrooms en suite with sitting rooms. The company prided
itself on the fireproof construction of the hotel, with thick
walls dividing every room and with the corridors constructed
of brick arches supported by iron girders.
