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.

Does NOT have parking
The Amenities listed for this hotel are WRONG. It does NOT have Parking - nearest parking is on-street (so, hard to get) at Hyde Park. Since it has a No Cancellation policy, this could be a serious issue for the long distance traveller to discover on arrival from a long trip and then a drive.

Great location
The location was the only five star value for this over priced hotel. Small rooms, very expensive food. Fortunately, there are several restaurants and such in the area.

Excellent Hotel for couples
Excellent hotel, for couples and not for families with children. Central location, 2 min. walk from Trafalgar sq and Charing Cross station. The stuff was very polite and helpful. The 1212 restaurant is excellent but expensive. Summery: Very good hotel for middle age couples.

weekend away
staff overall were polite and helpful, although our bags sat at reception for over a half hour before we had to retrieve them ourselves. room was nothing special, which is disappointing for something described as deluxe. It was though clean and tidy despite being on the small side. typical london hotel that anywhere else would be a third of the price for the same type of room.

London Travellers
Lots of little problems
For the five-star price, this hotel offers a two-star experience. The staff try hard but seem insufficiently trained in follow-through of customer service. During our ten-day stay, our bathrobes were removed after the fourth day mysteriously; cleaning staff left equipment in the room; promised breakfast vouchers were never delivered; we needed to ask every evening for re-supply of in-room coffee amenities. The location is spectacular and we enjoyed the magnificent view, but communication was a struggle to maintain a luxury hotel experience. It seemed that people who stayed one night had a great impression, but we who spent more than $6,000 for nine nights were treated as an after-thought.

Very pleased with our stay
We stayed at this hotel for the entirety or our week in London. The location is very central with easy access to all of the sights. The hotel rooms are on the small side but clean, modern, and very comfortable. We would certainly go back on a future trip. Recommended for a memorable trip!

Royal Horseguard for the Royal at heart
My husband and I met in London at the Royal Horseguard Resort. We pulled it up online and choose it by the comments left by other visitors. I must said that this resort exceeded our expectations and we didn't want to leave. The staff only added to the value of this place and they treated us like royalty. The resort in located in the middle of "Everything". We walked to dinner locations, shopping, theatres, etc. I (wife) even learned to love tea! Get ready for a really good time....
