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
Best Hotel in London
We have stayed at The Royal Horseguards many times and it has always lived up to expectations - a wonderful historic building in a great location but what makes it such a perfect place to stay are the staff all of whom are absolutely fantastic and make us feel as if we are coming back to our second home.

Best hospitality in London!
This hotel was amazing! The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us our entire stay. I was so blown away by their hospitality and kindness. Our concierge Javier was incredible and went above and beyond showing us the history of the hotel. The bartender Jamie was so personable! And our doorman Pervez was so unbelievably kind and incredible. The location is great as well with easy access to Embankment station. I HIGHLY recommend this place if you want top notch service and hospitality!

Afternoon Tea
My second visit for afternoon tea with friends. Unlike some other venues, this wasn't too busy or rushed. Service was excellent and will be back again soon.

A Grand Hotel on the Thames
Within walking distance of West End theatres, Covent Garden, Thames River cruises, and the Strand, but in a lovely quiet area, the Royal Horseguards delivers peaceful comfort and a superbly helpful staff to their guests. Rooms are large, nicely appointed, and many have a view of the Thames and the London Eye. An absolutely brilliant location and a welcoming, memorable hotel in busy London.
