About

This stunning boutique-style hotel overlooks Buckingham Palace and its mews, and provides personalized service. The Rubens at the Palace is a short walk from Victoria station and is ideal for Victoria Palace and Victoria Apollo theaters. The hotel is located a short walk from Westminster, Mayfair and London’s West End. Each room at The Rubens at the Palace has been individually designed with thoughtful touches of luxury as well as homely comforts. The hotel features a selection of some of the very best food and beverage offerings in London with culinary experiences tailored using ingredients from Royal Warrant Holder suppliers. The flagship English Grill restaurant offers a truly refined and stylish setting in opulently designed surroundings. Murano chandeliers and a live-action kitchen make for a truly unique experience. The menu offers signature classics, including steaks, plant-based selections and seasonal desserts. Dishes are grilled to perfection in our charcoal-fired Josper Grill. The glass wall overlooking the pass allows guests to watch some of the action taking place in the kitchen with several of our menu items served with a theatrical table-side flourish. The dining experience is accompanied by an extensive wine list, including a fine selection from Bouchard Finlayson, our vineyard in South Africa, alongside a beautiful Champagne trolley. The Palace Lounge is a magnificent bright open space with panoramic views of The Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace - the King's stables. As the royal carriages pass, it is the perfect place to start your day with a morning coffee and a selection of delicious pastries. The Palace Lounge is the ideal setting to enjoy our famous Royal Afternoon Tea. Our Curry Room is an authentic journey of discovery, blending Indian and African influences in our signature fine-dining style. An inspired three-course menu created by Chef Arun Kumar alongside an exceptional Thali. The New York Bar is renowned for its striking red décor, original artwork and luxurious ambiance. With a blend of traditional hospitality offering a journey from early signature classics through to modern mixology. Delicious home curated infusions and table-side theater make for an unforgettable experience. The New York Bar is home to some of the most famous Gin and Whiskey experiences in London and provides the perfect setting for luxury date nights, after work drinks, pre-dinner cocktails and laid-back lunch meetings.

Pros +

  • The staff go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect. I felt like King, and not just because we were so close to Buckingham Palace. I cannot say enough great things about this hotel, it's staff and comfortable bed!
  • The wonderful staff.
  • Proximity to sightseeing.

Cons -

  • The Curry Room was delicious, but the servers pushed us to order more expensive dishes and were slightly rude about it. The room we had was supposed to have a view, but our view was of air conditioning vents, and were blocked off by fake ivy.
  • No
  • Not being able to dine in the evening without reservations. We were forced to eat in the bar as we were told the dining room was booked yet in the time we ate our meal, there were very few people in the dining room .

The Hotel Staff was extraordinary. The concierge was so kind ad helpful, and the food at the hotel was really good. The best part of our stay was the location; it was fantastic. Across the street from Buckingham Palace and close to the tube.
