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.

Fantastic service, very approachable and so many staff members rushed to assist us. We had a wonderful history tour of the building by Milion one of the concierges, it was fun to see how interested he was in the building’s history. Older hotel, but rooms were pretty spacious with high ceilings, Air Conditioning! - much needed during our stay. Great location. The restaurant (breakfast) and bar didn’t live up to the hotel staff, but that was minor point. Also had a wonderful experience with one of the bellman-unfortunately I did not get his name. We stumbled upon the Royal Horseguard but so glad we had that experience

I can't say enough good things about this hotel. My wife and I came here for our 10th wedding anniversary and they treated us like royalty from the time we checked in to the time we checked out. The staff, waiters, bartenders, concierge were all professional, courteous, and, pleasant. The hotel was always clean and neat with fresh flowers and decorations throughout. Our room was kept clean and we'll stocked daily.

We had a fantastic stay at the Royal Horseguards Hotel and wouldn't hesitate to return. The hotel is in a superb location, within walking distance of many of London's main attractions, while still feeling quiet and relaxing. Our room was spotless, comfortable and well equipped, and the whole hotel had a welcoming, luxurious feel. One thing that really stood out was the bed. The mattress and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and we both had one of the best nights' sleep we've had in a hotel. It made a real difference to the overall stay. A special mention also goes to the staff, who were friendly, professional and always happy to help. Their attention to detail made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our visit. We also dined at One Twenty One Two, which was excellent. The food was beautifully prepared, the service was attentive without being intrusive, and the atmosphere made for a really enjoyable evening. Overall, it was an outstanding experience from check-in to check-out. We'd highly recommend the Royal Horseguards Hotel to anyone visiting London.

We had this hotel booked for us as a celebration gift. The hotel is well designed with a lovely feel throughout . The staff are so friendly and helpful without exception. The room had every facility needed plus a complimentary minibar. Cleanliness was excellent and we had been upgraded to a garden room. Which overlooked public gardens and could just see the Thames through the trees. Breakfast had an exceptional choice, and was situated in a comfortable environment. The location of the hotel could not be better. The occasion was my wife’s 80th birthday. So we were also booked to see the military musical spectacular. All in all we had a spectacular time. Thankyou to all the hotel staff for making this weekend so memorable.
