About the Hotel

The Rubens at the Palace is the closest you'll get to a sleepover with the Queen without a state visit invitation. The hotel is directly across from the royal residence on property that enjoys a colorful past – the Duke of Buckingham lived here in the 1600s, followed by an apothecary and a Court dressmaker. The Rubens, which was built in 1912, housed the Polish army during WWII and gave respite to exiled Charles de Gaulle. The hotel's decadent – and often equally colorful – rooms and suites are a comfortable home base in the epicenter of London.

Reviews for The Rubens at the Palace

Classy and fun!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 17 hours ago

I had such a wonderful stay at The Ruben hotel. From the kind doorman to the morning breakfast, they made my first time in London even more memorable. Anytime a staff member saw you they would say hello. I never felt ignored, and you can tell they're intentional about making you feel welcome. They also sent out a postcard for me so I didn't have to walk across the street, which was very sweet. There's a wide selection for breakfast, and it all tastes fresh. It was the perfect start to a busy day. They also provided waters in the room and restocked it daily. I would definitely stay here again.

Thank you to all of the team at the Reubens Hotel for a great stay, A wonderful Hotel with friendly helpful staff. Thank you, Frank for serving our evening cocktails after a busy day in London and the ever helpful concierge Robert. Would not think twice to recommend this Hotel to anyone.

Staff are lovely

Stayed here as we had afternoon tickets in covent garden and then were eating at petrus in the evening. The front of house staff were absolutely lovely and really made us feel very welcome. I was a bit disappointed by our room it was quite small and it had no outside view as the only window had obscured glass. A bit disappointing as we were supposed to be given an upgrade through our booking service and given the hotel knew it was my wife's birthday. I ought to say notwithstanding this the room was very clean and well maintained and we had lovely freshly made biscuits waiting for us when we got in. Also the hotel is great for transport links as it's a 2 minute walk from Victoria station.

I very much enjoyed my stay at The Rubens as a solo traveler. The staff was very attentive. The front doorman, Jan, always greeted me with a smile and warm welcome. Made my day, coming and going.

We were simply blown away by every single detail.

I just returned from an amazing 6 nights at The Rubens. My trip was for business and at the last minute, I had to bring my baby along. This worried me greatly, but thanks to the wonderful staff of the hotel, my week went off without a hitch. The staff couldn't have been any kinder, more helpful, or professional. From the moment we arrived, special attention was paid to the baby and any assistance I needed. There is no doubt that I will be returning to this hotel. It has won a special place in my heart.

Our package at the Rubens at the Palace let my mother and me live like a queen. From the flowers in the room, the beautiful suite, the daily high tea, the staff - everything was a deluxe vacation opportunity. My previous vacations to London pale in comparison to this experience.

I stayed at the hotel and found it to be delightful. It was a good, central location with comfortable, well-appointed rooms. The staff was outstanding, and the food was quite good. I would definitely stay there again!

I can't say enough about the amazing service at the hotel. Everyone was so friendly and helpful whenever we had questions or needed help. The concierge was wonderful and went out of his way to come check on us and see how our day our was turning out. It made us feel very welcome and almost like family! The room was very comfortable, the food in the bar was great, service was amazing. We'll stay here again!
