Dining

Equus Bar
As part of our refurbishment, we've completely transformed our bar and lounge area to create the new Equus Bar. With its eclectic fabrics and decor, it recreates the 'gentlemen's club' atmosphere of the hotel's past, and celebrates our rich history with a range of contemporary cocktails named after famous former guests, including the George Bernard Shaw, Lord Kitchener, Winston Churchill and William Gladstone. The Equus Bar menu also includes an extensive selection of non-alcoholic drinks, including our Equus Cola, home-made to a secret recipe, traditional fresh Lemonade, Ginger Beer, Lychee Lemonade and Green Tea Cooler. The bar also serves bar food and light meals
One Twenty One Two
For almost 80 years, The Royal Horseguards had the Metropolitan Police as neighbours. They moved to new headquarters in 1967, but we've never forgotten them - or their famous telephone number, Whitehall 1212, which gives our One Twenty One Two Restaurant its name. Winner of two coveted AA Rosette awards for culinary excellence, One Twenty One Two attracts discriminating diners from around the world. With its inviting piano bar, innovative menus, fine wines and exemplary service, it represents the very best in contemporary dining. For smaller parties, we have the adjoining Terrace Room, which provides delightful views over the Thames.
The Terrace
Enjoy a drink or a meal on our outdoor Terrace, with the extravagant exterior of The Royal Horseguards - inspired, it's said, by the chateaux of France - providing a stunning backdrop for your mid-morning snack or your Champagne Afternoon Tea.
The Lounge
The Lounge at The Royal Horseguards serves tea and coffee all day, as well as light meals including our famous High Tea in the afternoon. An ideal stopping-off point at any time of day.

Hotel an allerbesten Lage

Wir hatten gegen Aufpreis ein upgrade für einen Executive Room. Der Raum war gut aber das Bad entsprach einem Standard-Zimmer. 30 Pfund für das Frühstück ist definitiv zu teuer. Das Personal erfüllte alle Wünsche so gut wie möglich. Herr Matthias Küssner hat mir sehr gut geholfen, insbesondere was die Theaterkarten anbetrifft.

Wirklich super

Wirklich lobenswert, wie unkonpliziert alles geklappt hat. Empfang, Gepaeck lagern, spaeter einchecken und wieder auschecken. Das Personal war sehr freundlich, entgegenkommend und allzeit hilfsbereit. Wir uebernachteten in einem StandardZimmer und da gibts nichts auszusetzten :) die Bose-musikanlage und der TV in der badewanne waren auch toll zu haben! Dieses Hotel ist wirklich weiterzuempfehlen auch vorallem wegen der fantastischen Lage. Man ist ratzfatz ueberall :)

Sehr schönes, sauberes Hotel an bester Lage

Alles war wirklich super. Sehr schöne Zimmer mit viel Komfort, sehr sauber. Kritikpunkte sind die Betten, die nicht sehr bequem und zu kurz waren. Das Hotelpersonal könnte aufmerksamer sein. Achtung: Die Standardzimmer gehen alle zum Innenhof, wo sich auch Klimaanlage und Dampfabzüge befinden = laut und nicht toll riechend. Superior-Zimmer lohnen sich.
