About the Hotel
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.

Reviews for The Royal Horseguards
Perfect for Cabaret
My wife and I stayed for an evening show at Cabaret and the hotel was perfect. The location is, of course, super close and very close to Embankment tube -perfect. The reception areas, rooms, bars and restaurant were all extremely well appointed and felt very 'high end'. Our room was excellent (simple double) but perfectly good for the purpose and with all fixtures, fittings and decor in the highest order and spotless; absolutely no complaints. Very good value. We ate out so can't comment on the main food but breakfast was very nice. The best has to be the staff; the door staff in particular were absolutely spot on; made us feel very well looked after. Will definitely use again.

Full of history
Beautiful hotel close to all the history and big shopping areas. Our room was beautiful. And enjoyed the London experience. Only one negative and a tip if you stay there is . If the staff inside the hotel want to arrange your transfer to the airport. Walk out to black Taxis queuing outside for a quote for the airport transfer. And compare prices . We found them much cheaper. But visiting London is a much
