You might still spot politicians enjoying a reprieve from Parliament at The Royal Horseguards. It began life as The National Liberal Club in 1884 and was commandeered by the Ministry of Defense during both world wars to headquarter the M15 and M16, Britain's secret intelligence organizations. After undergoing a full renovation in 2008, sparkling chandeliers and contemporary accents join the oil paintings and rich red and gold furnishings that still retain the air of Westminster.

Very comfortable stay. Very near most major attractions. Embankment station just few minutes walk away. Plus is that they also have tv equipped with netflix! Special thank you to Emily and Mahid. ❤️

The hotel is beautiful, and the service was wonderful. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and personable, and all were very professional. Highly recommend!

The hotel is very well located—two minutes from Embankment station, seven minutes from the Thames sightseeing boats, and five minutes from Big Ben. The hotel's architecture is magnificent, and the staff are very welcoming and professional. The quietness of the hotel is also important. From my room, I could see the 'eyes of London' and the Tames view.

Very good hotel in a great location, but minor niggles hold back a top score. Marvellous friendly old-style service.
