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.

What a fabulous stay! We just stayed for 4 nights and cannot say enough about the hotel. The service was excellent and the staff were so prompt and helpful. Afternoon tea was a perfect start to our stay. We enjoyed cocktails at the outdoor terrace - and it was so super cozy that each table had a warm wool blanket in case it got chilly! Our room was so comfortable and cleaned immaculately each day. An extra note of appreciation to Pervez who welcomed us at the door and to our concierge, Javier, who without asking gave us a historical understanding of the beautiful building. I would highly recommend this hotel!!! Until next time!

We stayed one night in The Royal Horseguards that night I got sick. At 2.00 the night receptionist went out to buy Imodium for me. Thanks to him I could sleep for a few hours that night. I didn't even have to pay for it. 'We are here to take care of our guests', was the answer. I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you.

This is not as they describe it and I wonder if any of their reviews are real. The furniture gives you slivers because it is in such bad condition and the mini bar in the deluxe room consists of a bag of stale popcorn and 2 cans of coke, one of which has an artificial sweetener that is being investigated in my country back home.
