The Guardsman stands in a neighborhood fit for kings and queens – literally. Only a 6-minute walk from Buckingham Palace, the hotel seamlessly blends its distinguished Westminster location with a sense of modern luxury and pampered-but-not-pressured service. Head down to the club-like Drawing Room, where you’ll find a contemporary layout of couches and armchairs and a carefully-curated art collection lining the walls; or, if you’re feeling cozy, curl up with a book in the secluded Library. Then, take the 11-minute stroll to the London Victoria Station and watch as the entire city opens up for you to explore via the London Tube.
