Great Northern Hotel is a luxury boutique hotel right at the heart of Kings Cross.

Constructed in 1854 by Lewis Cubitt, the architect behind King’s Cross station, the hotel was conceived as a stylish point of departure for patrons of the all-new steam trains.

There are 91 elegant rooms, in three styles. The snug Couchette (paying homage to the classic rail-car sleeper), the cozy Wainscott with dark panelling and moody deep purple walls, and the gloriously comfortable high-ceilinged Cubitt rooms.
All of the rooms are thoughtfully designed, making the most of the views from the large sash windows and equipped with custom Italian furniture. The contemporary bathrooms have white subway-style tiling, stylish free-standing white ceramic sinks, and include a line of GNH toiletries with a bespoke scent. Most have walk-in shower stalls with rainfall showerheads, while some Cubitt rooms also come decked with fabulous roll-top bathtubs.
