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 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Royal Horseguard. The Terrance was lovely as was the food. Breakfast was extensive. Service from the Doormen and concierge was excellent. Could not ask for a better location.

The hotel is very comfortable and beautiful. The stuff is kind and helpful. Perfect location. I had an interesting tour given by Stamatios of this historic building. Highly recommended!

We ate tonight on the terrace. It was lovely! Asha was our server, and she gave us excellent service. Our food was delightfully presented and hot. We look forward to coming back!!!

The pros - friendly staff, great location, clean room and comfy beds, good shower with good pressure and temperature, good breakfast was included in our rate. The cons - taps were broken in one sink and briefly were stuck shooting very hot water out at us. The beds were very close together, not a problem as I was with my mum, but could be an issue if you were with a colleague etc! There was no kettle in the room or tea making equipment, just a nespresso. No milk or sugar. The mini bar was noisy and glowed all night, we had to switch it off. There was a very bright blue light from the towel rail button that lit up the whole room all night. Over all I’ve been in much worse hotels, but the niggles and lack of in room kettle made this feel less than luxury, a shame as it’s a great building and staff were nice. Worth a go if you’re not bothered by light at night and don’t drink tea! 😊

I have stayed at this hotel more times than I can remember. There is a new General Manager as of earlier this year, I believe, and the changes are not good. You cannot even get an additional bottle of water for your room without being charged. I also discovered that 81 of the rooms do not have air conditioning. I travel to London frequently, and it looks like I will be finding a different place to stay in the future. I would like to add that the staff are doing their very best to make through each day with a smile. They were wonderful.
