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.

Do not attempt any changes in your reservation-even five months ahead. Our mistake on the dates needed resulted in our paying for two nights on a one night stay in a very expensive room

I had a fantastic stay at The Royal Horseguards and would happily return. The hotel's location is excellent, within easy walking distance of many of London's main attractions while still feeling peaceful and elegant. My room was spotless, comfortable, and well maintained throughout my stay. What really made the difference was the outstanding staff. Everyone at reception and the concierge desk was friendly, professional, and always happy to help. The breakfast was another highlight, offering an impressive variety of fresh, high-quality food with plenty of choice each morning. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, excellent service, and a first-class experience in central London. Five stars!

All the personnel is professional and friendly. We did a tour of the Liberal Party Club (including Churchil’s office) with Javier. The tour was interactive, up-beat, informative. Javier is a great guide! Location of the hotel is fantastic.

Excellent hotel, superb staff - they have definitely upped their game since 2025 :) I was disappointed after my 2025 stay (I have been staying at this hotel since 2009) - I'm delighted to say that 2026 was a return to the customary excellent service one was used to.

I recently stayed here for 3 nights on a trip to England from the US. It was awesome and the best hotel of our trip. If I went back to London I would go back here immediately. It is conveniently located and has everything you need. Doorman Parvez made us feel so welcome and was kind and helpful always. Emily and Mahi on the front desk went out of their way to make out stay memorable. Our room had a river view and it was beautiful and bigger than most I have stayed in in Europe. We are big fans!
