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.

We had a lovely time at the Royal Horseguards. The staff were very friendly, professional and helpful. The bar and restaurant there are also quite nice, and the location is terrific. We were right next to the Tube (Embankment station), and Trafalgar Square, Downing St, Thames, Clock Tower, Parliament, etc were all just a few blocks away. Everything was within walking distance. Also, like much of London, the RHG is steeped in history. Ask the concierge for a history tour of the site (Javier is highly recommended !) - the building is beautiful with lots historical architecture. Churchill frequented as part of the National Liberal Club, and so much more. Would definitely stay again!

We recently had a wonderful experience staying at the Royal Horseguards Hotel. The location is very convenient, just a two minute walk from the Embankment Tube Station. It's in the Whitehall area, but also away from the crowds of the busy streets in that area. The restaurant is excellent, including the breakfast buffet and a good menu for dinner. It's easy to get cabs, right from the door. They also have excellent service. They really hustled to get us a cab on the morning of the London marathon, when there were just a few available. Pervez on their staff really made our stay more enjoyable. Always there to greet us with a smile a do whatever he could to make our stay more enjoyable.
