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.

Second visit. Hopefully not the last
Our second vist!! Beautiful historic hotel perfectly located near prime London iconic sites such as Buckingham Palace, Westminster, Trafalgar Square etc. The restaurants and bars are exceptional. Our server Asa was extremely friendly and efficient. Highly recommend! 5 stars

Very average for the price
A one-night business stay meant that I spent little time at the hotel, save for a couple of drinks in the bar and breakfast in the morning. The hotel enjoys an excellent location, especially for visitors to the city. It is impressive at first glance but my room was dated and felt slightly unloved. It needed some updating for sure. In my in-room minibar, I found a half-drunk bottle of water. It clearly hadn't been replenished since the previous occupants. Breakfast was disappointingly all self-service and no table service for cooked items which, for a hotel like this, was a big miss for me/ The breakfast offering was not far from a Premier Inn's, being completely honest, with the exception of the dining room decor. For the price, I believe there was better and I would be unlikely to stay again.

Beautiful building in great location
The hotel is in a beautiful building in a great location in London. From the hotel you can walk to many of the sites. The hotel has great facilities. The breakfast was excellent. Our room was needing some TLC which was disappointing.
