Classical elegance. Contemporary comfort.
For more than 100 years, The Royal Horseguards has
graced the banks of the Thames with its elegant, imposing
presence. Its architectural heritage has earned it Grade I
listed status, and made it one of London’s most iconic
buildings. And now, with 5-star status and a member
of Preferred Hotels & Resorts, The Royal Horseguards
confirms its place among the capital’s most luxurious
and desirable hotels. So come and share its unique history
– and discover a hotel as spectacular as its location.
LANDmArk. LoCAtioN.
The Royal Horseguards is set in the very heart of London.
Overlooking the Thames, it is surrounded by streets and
buildings where Britain’s history has been written – and is still
being added to today. Its magnificent Victorian facade harks
back to a visionary age when London was the centre of a new,
exciting world, and anything seemed possible. An attitude that,
like the building itself, we have been careful to preserve.
PErSoNAL. SPACE.
It would be hard not to be inspired by the grandeur of the
exterior. Our bedroom designers certainly were. Each of
our 280 bedrooms has been transformed, combining all the
classical elegance of the Victorian building with comforts
that are decidedly 21st Century. So at the end of a full day
in the bustling capital, The Royal Horseguards provides
the perfect place to relax, recharge, and prepare for all
that tomorrow promises.
EXtrA. DEtAiL.
There is an understated refinement to everything you will find in your room,
from the toiletries to the 32-inch LCD TV. And you will find plenty of additional
touches, too, like the sumptuous soft furnishings including pure Egyptian cotton
bed linen. Even the bed has been designed and made exclusively for Guoman.
Comforts that, like the magnificent views from your window, you won’t find
anywhere else in London.

When The Royal Horseguards was built, the railway was the
latest in technological achievement. Quite what the Victorians
would have made of the digital age is anyone’s guess. But in
keeping with our guests’ expectations, and our own desire to
help you feel thoroughly at home, we have provided a plasma
TV in the bathroom, an iPod docking station, surround sound
and free wi-fi internet access in every room.
GUomAN CLUB LoUNGE
You could choose countless words to describe London.
‘Relaxing’, however, is unlikely to be one of them. Happily,
we have the ideal antidote to the frenetic pace of the City, in
the form of our Guoman Club Lounge*. Take advantage of
free internet access to work or surf; immerse yourself in our
wide selection of newspapers; or simply sit back in front of the
plasma TV, enjoying the complimentary soft drinks, tea, coffee
and pastries, which are served all day.

Formerly part of the National Liberal Club – and named after one of its most illustrious
members – this splendid room has eased effortlessly into its new role. Welcome to
Churchill’s Bar. Relax and unwind like the politicians of the past, with an excellent
range of drinks, in an atmosphere where tradition meets comfort. An ideal setting for
a private party or a drink before the show.
CHUrCHiLL’S BAr

Our former neighbours, the Metropolitan Police, have long
since moved to New Scotland Yard. But they have not been
forgotten – and nor has their telephone number, once famous
throughout London, which now gives our restaurant its rather
unusual name. One Twenty One Two offers an innovative
menu, superb wine list, the impeccable Guoman standards
of service, and a piano bar in which to enjoy an aperitif –
or simply a quiet drink when you finally come off duty.

Our outdoor Terrace provides a chance to get away from it
all, without even leaving the hotel. Quiet and secluded,
it feels a million miles from the hurly-burly of Whitehall
and the City. It is a perfect spot to enjoy a drink, or a little
al fresco dining, with one of the glories of Victorian London
as a backdrop.
BUSiNESS. CLASS.
At The Royal Horseguards, and the adjoining One Whitehall
Place, we know how to make work into its own kind of
pleasure. All of our 15 air-conditioned suites, including the
historic and magnificent Reading & Writing Room, are flexible
enough to accommodate all types of events, and are equipped
with the latest communications and multimedia technology.
The ideal business venue, whatever your agenda.
GLADStoNE LiBrArY
One Whitehall Place, our dedicated conference and events
facilities, were originally built as the home of the National
Liberal Club. Its founder was William Gladstone,
four times British Prime Minister, whose name lives on
in the Gladstone Library. Although its estimated 30,000
volumes are painstakingly restored replicas, the room itself
is just as he would have known it, including the upper levels
which now serve as a minstrel’s gallery. An inspiring setting
for your great occasion.

With its sweeping marble staircase, shimmering chandeliers
and soaring ceilings, One Whitehall Place shows the Victorians
– literally – at the height of their powers. It makes a memorable
setting for your wedding or event, providing ample space for the
longest guest-list – and everything you could wish for by way of
backgrounds. And with our friendly, professional team on hand
to take care of every last detail, One Whitehall Place gives every
event a unique sense of occasion.
The Royal Horseguards is part of the Guoman collection of hotels. Each of our hotels
is unique and distinctive, set apart from the others – and the competition – by its location,

exceptional standards of comfort and service. Whether you stay at The Royal Horseguards
or any of our other London hotels, you’ll receive exemplary service that embodies the
values of the individual hotel, and the Guoman brand – a brand that’s become a byword
for excellence around the world.
Over the next few years, our name will be appearing on more of London’s leading
