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 Royal Horseguards
2 Whitehall Court
London, England
Nearest Airport: LHR
We enjoyed 5 nights here and loved its iconic atmosphere and architecture. The location for a visitor interested in arts, culture, and West End theater could not have been better. Our view of the Thames was a bonus. The room was large enough for us. The size and comfort of the bed was much better than most European hotels we have experienced. The staff treated us well, We will return for sure.

We had an excellent stay at Royal Horseguards. From the wonderful Pervez meeting us at the door to Audra and Yana helping us with our room at the front desk to an interesting hotel tour by Rupom, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This was the second time staying at Royal Horseguards and I’m already dreaming about my next visit.

We arrived at this beautiful hotel in downtown London and were greeted with a warm welcome from both the door staff and the front desk team. Check-in was seamless, and we were delighted with a lovely upgrade. As we arrived a bit before the official check-in time, the staff kindly held our bags while we took a walk and grabbed lunch. When we returned at 3:00pm, our bags were brought up to the room by the doorman, Ahmad, who was polite, helpful, and even gave us a warm, welcoming tour of the room. During a particularly hot summer stretch, our air conditioning wasn’t working, and while the security team did their best to fix it, they weren’t able to get it running — they did bring us a fan in the meantime, which helped. The breakfast buffet was a beautiful spread, featuring a full English breakfast with an incredible variety of options. Staff throughout our stay were attentive and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back to this amazing hotel!
