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.

Our seven-night stay at the Royal Horseguards was nothing short of exceptional. We honestly couldn’t imagine a better place to stay in London. The hotel’s rich history and stunning architecture made us feel as though we had stepped back in time. Waking up each morning in such a beautiful historic building made our London experience even more memorable. What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is its people. Every member of the team welcomed us with genuine warmth, kindness, and professionalism, making us feel valued from the moment we arrived until the day we reluctantly checked out. A special thank you to Abeena at the Front Desk, whose warm smile always made us feel at home. To Janet, thank you for your cheerful personality and infectious energy you brightened our days every time we saw you. We are also grateful to Ms. Teodora, who gave us such a wonderful welcome during check-in and made every effort to ensure we had the best stay possible. Our mornings were made even better by the fantastic breakfast team. Thank you for your attentive service and for always making us feel so well looked after. A special mention to Bakthiyor for your friendliness and outstanding hospitality. Finally, our deepest appreciation goes to the wonderful Director of Rooms, Mr. Jorge Alexandre Coutinho. Your attention to detail, genuine care for your guests, and willingness to go above and beyond did not go unnoticed. It is because of thoughtful leaders like you that the Royal Horseguards feels so much more than just a hotel—it feels like home. You played a significant role in making our London trip unforgettable, and leaving was genuinely difficult. Thank you to everyone at the Royal Horseguards for creating memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. We will most certainly be back, and we cannot recommend this remarkable hotel highly enough.
