The RAM-led consortium has been selected by King’s Cross Central – a partnership between Argent King's Cross Limited Partnership, London & Continental Railways and DHL – to refurbish and recreate the unique Great Northern Hotel following a six month selection process run by CBRE Hotels.

Oxford Hotels will be the development manager, working with Mace Group and GB Building Solutions Ltd as construction providers. They will begin work on refurbishing the Victorian-built Great Northern Hotel early next year. The hotel, which first opened in 1854, sits at the southern end of the 67 acre regeneration site and is ideally located for both King’s Cross station and St Pancras International, with connections to mainland Europe and the rest of the UK. 

Oxford will manage the refurbishment and fit-out of the building, which will open its doors to guests in time for the London 2012 Olympics. King’s Cross Central and the hotel consortium will work together to achieve the necessary planning and listed building consents from Camden Council, in close cooperation with English Heritage.
