The Royal Garden Hotel is a five-star luxury address defined by its location. From its rooms and suites, watch the seasons come and go. From the uppermost floors the vista incorporates Kensington Palace, Hyde Park, the Royal Albert Hall, the capital’s rooftops and colourful mews houses. The horizon above the trees is punctuated with London’s iconic architecture, from St Paul’s Cathedral to the Houses of Parliament.
But a glamorous location is not the only reason why Royal Garden regulars come back for more. Many of the hotel's staff have been with the hotel for years, bringing experience and warm geniality to all they do. For this is a hotel with soul, where the intangible is as memorable as the facilities of the spa, the efficiency of the 24-hour business centre, and a world-class meal.
The Royal Garden Hotel features 396 rooms and suites located over 10 floors, all with dramatic views. Many of the hotel's rooms are interconnecting, with no-smoking floors also available.
Décor is understated English with an impeccable finish featuring pale creams and classic accents from reds to blues to natural wood furnishing. Details include botanical and architectural drawings. Bathrooms are equipped with showers and baths. The hotel also provides complimentary bathroom amenities.
The Royal Garden Hotel offers something for every mood, from a quick in-room breakfast for the business traveller (room service is 24 hours, and includes a Lebanese selection) to a decadent gourmet feast at "The Tenth", the hotel's headline Modern European restaurant with dramatically romantic views of London.
The Park Terrace Restaurant is open throughout the day, and offers a wide range of different dishes, including a celebrated British Specialty Menu conceived by Executive Chef, Steve Munkley.
If it's a private tête-a-tête you seek over a glass of best Champagne, head upstairs to the hotel's uppermost floor, and take a seat at The Tenth Bar. For a convivial English pint, or a late-night Martini, head for Bertie's, the hotel's landmark bar overseen by a Royal Garden stalwart, Luis Cobas.
The Park Terrace also has a Café and Bar located on the lobby level where well-heeled locals mingle with business people and hotel guests throughout the day.
The Soma Centre at The Royal Garden Hotel is among the best holistic health centres in London, featuring a wide range of facilities, from modern cardiovascular machines and free weights to studio-based teaching in Yoga, Pilates, kickboxing and aerobics. Personal trainers are available on request.
The spa provides a variety of beauty treatments, drawn from both the East and West to provide both cosmetic and therapeutic benefits. Soma uses Thalgo products that incorporate the purest sea ingredients, rich in nutrients such as micronized marine algae. There are five treatment rooms available.
