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
comfort in an historic hotel
the location of this hotel cannot be beat...near to so much and yet removed from the main street. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet is huge. A pleasant and comfortable home away from home in the heart of London

Amazing, Unexpected Experience with Javier at The Horseguard Hotel
WOW! My husband and I just had the most incredible person tour of The Horseguards Hotel. Javier is a wealth of knowledge and the most lovely person. He should us all around the building including the secret corners. We were given a walking history lesson. Many Thanks and Blessings Javier

Outstanding.
The hotel is a Victorian gem previously used as posh apartments and by the National Liberal Club and MI5. The building is huge. I had a room on the 8th floor, virtually in the roof, with magnificent views across the Thames. The furniture was a little dated but the room was perfectly comfortable and spacious. The free mini bar was a nice and unexpected touch. Everything worked. There was a bit of rumbling from the trains departing Charing Cross but it was actually rather nice. The windows were screwed tight for safety reasons, but quickly opened on request. The public areas are very grand and the staff superb - clearly highly trained, which seems to be the exception these days. I had lunch in the dining room which I would heartily recommend. It’s dead posh in many respects but not stuffy - welcoming and really rather fun. I’d certainly return. Good value for somewhat classy accommodation.
