Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites and Residences

Our family stayed at the Taj in December for Christmas and then again in June. Once again, our stay was outstanding. Our accommodations were enormous, almost covering an entire floor. Again the staff was excellent, in particular Jon and Alex at the concierge desk. We are already looking forward to an opportunity to book again. This is a fabulous home base for your time in London.

Perfect suites & awesome dining. Would like to thank Mr. Shashi Reddy for choosing this hotel for stay. Kona restaurant serves the best meal. Special thanks to the staff & management for their overwhelming service.

We (3 adults) stayed at this hotel for 5 nights in mid May. This is a boutique hotel with about 88 rooms – all suites. Their other hotel (St. James Court ) is just next door. Guest from both hotels have access to the 5 restaurants and 2 bars located between the two hotels. Together, they occupy sizeable real estate in the heart of London. We booked 2 King Deluxe Junior Suites (500 ft2) via hotel website about 2 months in advance. (non-refundable booking). We arrived earlier than their normal check-in time. They proceeded to check us in nonetheless. They also upgraded one of the rooms to a King One-Bedroom Suite (730 ft2). The two rooms were adjacent to each other. Check-in and check-out processes were a cinch. The hotel is very close to many tourist attractions, such as Buckingham Palace, London Eye, Parliament, and Westminster Abbey. It is also very close to two subway stations. (Victoria and St. James) All suites, come with a fully-equipped kitchen, including a washer and a dryer (yes, for laundry). The interior is contemporary and chic. Rooms are well maintained and spotlessly clean. Furniture and linens well appointed. Complimentary drinks were served daily (6:30 pm – 8:30 pm). Additionally, you get free wifi, mineral water, and 24 hour fitness center (well equipped). Our package included breakfast. In terms of breakfast quality, variety, and service, there are perhaps not many places can come close to this one. They are also very accommodating, they would custom cook something for you if you have special needs. The managers and wait staff were all very professional, conscientious, and friendly. We were very impressed by their service and happy with everything they provided. In general, staff was very friendly, efficient, and strived to provide the finest personal service. Their concierge team (Nelson, Alex, Jon, Kalman) was remarkably helpful and efficient. They helped us book tickets for several tourist attractions and restaurant reservations prior to our arrival. They were very prompt and precise. They also arranged our ad-hoc transportation requests on a daily basis (either limo or taxis). We are also grateful to our butler, Iara. She provided excellent orientation about the hotel and our suites. She made our settling-in that much smoother. The hotel charges are not cheap but we felt it was quite worthwhile given the service level, amenities, and location. We had meals at Kona (breakfast, afternoon tea), Bistro 51 (lunch), and Bombay Brasserie (dinner) during our stay. All of them were fantastic. We really appreciated the attentiveness of their staff. Our thanks to Tibor, Danny, and the front desk staff for their outstanding assistance during our stay. The staff was quite successful in anticipating our needs. We couldn’t ask for anything more. They made our stay in London truly special. We will surely stay here again.

what an amazing hotel Taj is , perfect location, great product and legendary Indian warmth and service . they will take care of all your needs and chances are they will exceed your expectations too. plus the history around the hotels always a bonus staying in St James Court London

This is our second stay with Taj 51 and it was again outstanding. The three bedroom Kings accommodation worked well with our group, the room was clean, and the availability of a washer/dryer was a welcome amenity. The staff even handled part of that for us which allowed our group to stay out and enjoy the sites of the city. The Taj location is right around the corner to the underground, with a grocery store nearby to stock up on necessities. Thanks again for a lovely stay.
