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
Very nice stay
The hotel is very well located—two minutes from Embankment station, seven minutes from the Thames sightseeing boats, and five minutes from Big Ben. The hotel's architecture is magnificent, and the staff are very welcoming and professional. The quietness of the hotel is also important. From my room, I could see the 'eyes of London' and the Tames view.

Nearly top of the league
Very good hotel in a great location, but minor niggles hold back a top score. Marvellous friendly old-style service.

Mini London brek
All staff were fantastic and made our mini trip very special . From reception , door man and cleaning staff - all were so friendly and helpful . The room was great and with a good view of the south bank . The hotel felt traditional and some lovely touches such as the flowers in reception and items in the bathroom. The complimentary mini bar was a nice treat which included wine and beer . Breakfast was great and cocktails too! We would definitely stay here on our next trip and hopefully longer too !
