“This family-run establishment stands out as the only hotel graced with a Royal Warrant by the Queen, offering guests a tangible connection to British history. I think the personalized service, like in-room cocktails, elevates a stay here beyond the ordinary. Its location near Buckingham Palace and its surprisingly large garden for central London solidify its appeal, in my opinion.”
