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.

I’m still staying at Royal Horseguards Hotel as I write this review, which I’ve never done before but the excellent service we have received so far has compelled me to write a review before I leave. I just wanted to say thank you to the wonderful staff who have already made our trip so special. The lady, Janeta, (apologies if I’ve misspelled your name), who checked us in was so friendly and helpful. Our room (612) was ready early so we were able to go straight up, which was a big bonus. We booked a King room with river view and it’s beautiful and spacious. The complimentary minibar items are much appreciated but we would also like to say a huge thank you for the wedding anniversary surprise you left for us. It was unexpected and gave us a big surprise when we returned in the afternoon. There are many hotels in London and it’s often difficult to choose between them but Royal Horseguards definitely stands out for its personal service and attention to detail. Pervez does an amazing job too. I recommend this hotel wholeheartedly and would happily return.

We stayed at this hotel for a long weekend, the location is excellent for getting around London on foot. It is ideally located to be close enough to walk but is quiet in the evenings. The staff were exceptional and I can't praise them high enough.

Yet another amazing experience at the Royal Horseguards Hotel at their restaurant One Twenty One Two... We were looked after by Iryna... She was absolutely amazing... Attentive, polite and intuitive, professional and really went out of her way to make this occasion run seamlessly. A real asset in my opinion. Thank you so much. The ambiance was lovely and the decor gorgeous and the food was wonderful. The staff really made it special too with a birthday card and cake.. which was a lovely touch .... All in all brilliant...

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. ❤️
