Hotel Review
The Guardsman, Westminster, London
A hotel that has the air of a London club, The Guardsman is one of the nicest hotels in the area. A recent addition to Westminster and purpose-built, it sits well in this smart part of town with St James's Park and Buckingham Palace just around the corner. With its cool design - think Art Deco meets contemporary British - the hotel offers a refined air and the club-like feel is heightened by the fact that the bar and restaurant (with its British-influenced menu) are only open to residents and so never feel overcrowded. The hotel's location also makes a great base for walking to the Royal Parks and onto the West End.

Style & Character
This hotel suits those who prefer subtle service and who want to avoid the flashier, bigger hotels - small is beautiful. We loved the overall style and the feeling that this is the kind of hotel that could be a secret pleasure.
