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.

Our stay was great! The room was huge, very comfortable for our family, and had everything we needed. We had one meal at the Equus bar and Asa was our server - she was so sweet with our daughter.

Amazing food,service and atmosphere. Appreciated the treat given at the end of our meal for our wedding anniversary. Service was not over attentive which was great.

I treated some friends to an afternoon tea for their birthday's at The Royal Horseguards Hotel and it was lovely. The hotel was elegant and the receptionist was very polite. We were asked to take a seat whist waiting and then lead into the green tea room, which had recently been re decorated. The decor was charming. We were served a glass of champagne which was very refreshing and the tea was presented on a traditional stand. The stand itself had a scone cover built in, which I have never seen before. The sandwiches, scones and cakes (all the favourites) were delicious. The items were not replenished however the quantity was adequate. Everyone was very attentive and we were asked several times if all was well, our server Darshini, was polite and professional and very sweet. A birthday plate was presented to both friends which included a cake and happy birthday written on the plate, this made it very special. Overall a really lovely way to spend an afternoon.

A stately historic property, alongside the Thames, Whitehall Gardens and numerous central London attractions (Big Ben, Westminster, London Eye, Covent Garden etc). Excellent service. I opted for a slightly larger room and was pleasantly surprised with an upper floor view, elevated seating area and spacious room and bath. Fully stocked coffee/tea/soft drink/snack bar in the room, all complimentary. Bed was comfortable. Appreciated the plush bath robe and slippers. Sadly, my room lacked any shampoo or hair dryer. The gym was small and hard to find but adequate. In fact, my floor felt like a complete maze - I never did figure out the direct route to the lifts. Some more signage could have helped. The hotel is close to many tube and train stops - nearest are Embankment and Charing Cross. About an hour by taxi or tube to LHR.

We enjoyed a very nicely cooked and presented dinner. The hotel has a pleasant ambience. Our waitress, Olena, was professional and exhibited discreet attentiveness. A charming lady who made our evening memorable.
