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
A Hotel With History!
I have always wanted to stay at The Royal Horseguards so for a very special occasion, we booked our trip. It is expensive but we were treating ourselves! Fabulous welcome from the team on the door and reception and the hotel lobby has a real wow factor with incredible flowers and comfortable seating. We were given a room which had a wall just a couple of feet from the window so there was absolutely no natural light in the room at all! A broom cupboard! Luckily when I went to reception, it was possible to change and we were given 218 overlooking the park. There is absolutely no wow factor to this room at all sadly! It was tired with marks from drinking glasses on the furniture and a bed with a mind of it’s own that moves away from the headboard when you sit in bed to read, or sit on it to put on your shoes. The vent for the air con was very dusty too and needs a jolly good clean, and marks on the walls which could all be cleaned off with a bit of attention. I am in the business and it’s always the detail that matters! So overall, our stay was not quite as we expected. London prices should mean top quality with the guest feeling that was amazing when they leave! Sorry to be a bit negative but that’s how we felt!

Great stay in a great hotel
I had stayed for 2 nights on 29th and 30th in room no 604. The room was spacious and comfortable with good amenities. This is a nice hotel next to major tourist attractions, embankment station is 2 minutes walk from the hotel. The breakfast had a good spread with a lot of vegetarian food. The concierge was efficient with Mr Pervez being helpful, smiling and always greeting.

Love this hotel❤️ Location is excellent, straight at the side of the Thames, short walk to Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square and the West End! A touch of luxury for a lovely stay in London with amazing food.
