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

Beautiful Hotel with Wonderful Staff

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 11 hours ago

While our room was not the luxurious one on the website, the hotel was still very grand and the amenities made the stay very comfortable. The room was adequate with complimentary minibar and robes/slippers. Bathroom very nice with heated floors and towel rack. Beds were luxuriously comfortable and while the room had no view, it had two large windows and plenty of surfaces to set things. Overall, very pleased.

Perfect location and great staff

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 15 hours ago

Came here just to unwind. The location is right next to the Embankment tube station. It is ideal for heading off to explore London, with Leicester Square, Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square and much more, all within a 5-10 minute walk. We had a wonderful river view room with a clear view of the London Eye. Whilst the room furniture could do with a little tlc, It was more than adequate. There were USB charging sockets but they weren't in the most convenient places. The king size bed was so comfortable, that combined with the Egyptian cotton sheets, it was tough to get out of bed. Thank you so very much to both Gerold and Jenny for helping to make our stay special.

Gorgeous hotel in the heart of historic London. Close to the Embankment and so many must see locations. Pervez was an absolute star, welcoming us to the hotel every time we returned and making us feel like family. He is a gem in the crown of the Royal Horseguards. Breakfast is really good and worth including in your reservation.

3 Day Stay At The Royal Hourse Guard

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

I paid for a river view room, and the view did not disappoint. It was well worth the upgrade. The staff were all attentive and friendly. The lobby was pristine. The room interior is quite dated and the appliance/tv offerings could be updated--but, unless someone is planning to spend a majority of their time in the room, those things are not deal breakers imo. The age does add some level of charm. Its location also made travel around London easy.

Amazing stay!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

I was visiting London for the first time and booked my stay here. It was wonderful! From the minute you arrive to the when you’re checking-out the staff was kind, friendly, helpful, and incredibly professional. The hotel is clean and beautifully decorated. The rooms (I booked two) were spacious and comfortable. You had all the amenities available to you and it even included complimentary water, sodas, and snacks they refresh daily. Even at the nicest hotels they often charge for these items but not the Royal Horseguard. You feel very well taken care of here like the staff truly wants to makes sure you have the best experience possible during your visit. When I was anxious trying to manage everyone and trying to grab luggage to wait outside for Uber, one of the wonderful staff Osmand (hope I spelled that right) was not having it. He reminded me I was on vacation and this was a time to enjoy not to stress. We were to wait inside in the warm lobby, and when the Uber arrives he would take our luggage out for us. When your use to doing most everything yourself, it takes a gentle reminder sometimes that you can allow people to help. The location is also central to everything. It’s close enough to be walking distance from everything, but also set back enough where it’s quiet and you can get a good nights rest after a long day of sightseeing. If you’re not up for walking you are feet away from a train station and/or an uber is conveniently always less than 5 minutes wait. They were also very accommodating. When I was running late on 11am checkout they alloyed me a complimentary hour so I could make it back within that window of time and not incur any additional fees. I can’t think of a single thing I would improve about this hotel. I highly highly recommend. Hopefully if I make it to London again I will definitely be staying at The Royal Horseguard Hotel.
