Volo Customer Summit 2015

London : 17th September

Welcome to a masterpiece of Victorian Gothic architecture

Sir John Betjeman called this Gothic treasure “too beautiful and too romantic to survive”
in a world of tower blocks and concrete. After years of devoted restoration,
The St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel boasts glorious Gothic Revival metalwork,
gold leaf ceilings, hand-stencilled wall designs and a jaw dropping grand staircase,
as dazzling as the day Queen Victoria opened the hotel, fashioned by Sir Gilbert Scott,
in 1873.
