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.

The RH is the best location for a first time trip to London. The hotel is very historic itself. It is so convenient to the sites, the Embankment tube station as well as Charing Cross and easily walkable to many landmarks. The staff is fantastic. Our rooms were very comfortable. We had one room with a queen bed and it was quite large with a large bathroom. Our other room had two twins and was huge even by US standards. It had two twins, two chairs, a very large desk and large bathroom. It was perfect for our family of 4 (2 teens). The snacks that were given to us each day were very welcomed and appreciated as we often walked about 10-13 miles per day. Will definitely return.

V nice hotel for our 1 day stay. Pre Wimbledon. The room was large on 2nd floor but a disabled access room with not much view. Great TV to watch the England game on. Excellent buffet and good breakfast service.

We had a lovely time at the Royal Horseguards. The staff were very friendly, professional and helpful. The bar and restaurant there are also quite nice, and the location is terrific. We were right next to the Tube (Embankment station), and Trafalgar Square, Downing St, Thames, Clock Tower, Parliament, etc were all just a few blocks away. Everything was within walking distance. Also, like much of London, the RHG is steeped in history. Ask the concierge for a history tour of the site (Javier is highly recommended !) - the building is beautiful with lots historical architecture. Churchill frequented as part of the National Liberal Club, and so much more. Would definitely stay again!
