Addresses don’t come more regal than Buckingham Gate, and it’s here you will find boutique hotel, The Guardsman. For the month of May, The Guardsman will provide travellers to London with the perfect base from which to celebrate The King’s Coronation and witness the royal festivities.

A stone’s throw from Buckingham Palace, The Guardsman is an intimate boutique hotel fit for kings and queens, offering a level of service that’s second to none and tailored to each individual guest. The team are ever-present yet discrete, attentive but not intrusive, they get to know each guest, remembering their wants, needs and preferences. Making sure they feel pampered, but not pressured.

Within walking distance from the hotel, guests can head out to Buckingham Palace, St James’s Place, and Wellington Barracks to spot the iconic Changing of The Guard, or for those who wish to learn more about the British Royal Family, they can add a Royal Walking Tour to take in the palaces, royal parks, famous monuments and Royal jewels, before culminating at Westminster Abbey, the very scene of where King Charles III will be crowned.

Whether guests wish to visit over the Coronation weekend or during another period in May, there’s no better place to get in on royal action than at The Guardsman.

The Guardsman is an intimate, boutique hotel with 53 rooms and six residences for longer stay guests. More akin to a private members club than a hotel, the level of personal service at The Guardsman is second to none.

Designed by Richard Tomlin at Tonik Associates, The Guardsman has an unmistakably British feel that befits the hotel’s prestigious address. Interiors are contemporary and relaxed, complemented by a few classic and sometimes quirky embellishments.

The bedrooms are individually styled, exceptionally comfortable and spacious, while the hotel’s residences, comprising one, two or three bedrooms, feature sumptuous living spaces, dining areas, and kitchen offer the comfort and privacy of a guest’s own home.

Nothing is more quintessentially British, than Afternoon Tea at The Guardsman, dainty, delicious, and homemade from start to finish, this noble tradition is given a contemporary twist that can be enjoyed in the hotel’s Drawing Room, Library, Dining Room or in St James’ Park.

The Guardsman is a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts L.V.X Collection and Residences Collection offering upscale luxury with local flair and the very best of a luxury hotel with a residential setting.
