Gracing the banks of the River Thames, The Royal Horseguards began life as the National Liberal Club, offering its members a sanctuary from the rough-and-tumble of Westminster politics. Designed by Alfred Waterhouse, whose architectural legacy in London includes the Natural History Museum, it played host to some of Britain’s greatest writers, thinkers and political leaders.

More than 120 years on, this magnificent 5 star hotel near Charing Cross, Trafalgar Square and The Strand, has been restored to its full Victorian splendour. But has never forgotten its origins as a warm, welcoming and relaxing haven in the very heart of London. The views you’ll enjoy from your room or the hotel's restaurant over the River Thames and landmarks including the London Eye are truly breathtaking.

With 281 luxurious bedrooms, including a choice of Suites and an Apartment, The Royal Horseguards has a grandeur and opulence to match its prestigious Whitehall address. In keeping with the rest of the Guoman collection of 4- and 5-star London hotels, all the bedrooms here have been meticulously designed to reflect the building’s individual architecture, style and character. Every room at The Royal Horseguards is air-conditioned, en-suite and has complimentary BT Openzone wireless internet access: your room rate also includes free use of the gym facilities.

From a morning cappuccino on the Terrace to a sumptuous five-course dinner in One Twenty One Two; at The Royal Horseguards you can enjoy some of the finest food and drink in London, without leaving the hotel.

Winner of two AA Rosettes, the One Twenty One Two Restaurant has made The Royal Horseguards one of London’s most desirable dining destinations. With the hotel near Theatreland, it’s the ideal choice for a pre-show dinner. And in fine weather – which, despite rumours to the contrary is not entirely unknown in London – the Terrace provides a spectacular setting for alfresco dining.
The lounge at The Royal Horseguards serves tea and coffee all day, as well as light meals including their famous High Tea in the afternoon. An ideal stopping-off point at any time of day.

Public parking is possible at a location nearby (reservation is not possible) and costs GBP 40 per day.
