About the Hotel
The Rubens at the Palace is the closest you'll get to a sleepover with the Queen without a state visit invitation. The hotel is directly across from the royal residence on property that enjoys a colorful past – the Duke of Buckingham lived here in the 1600s, followed by an apothecary and a Court dressmaker. The Rubens, which was built in 1912, housed the Polish army during WWII and gave respite to exiled Charles de Gaulle. The hotel's decadent – and often equally colorful – rooms and suites are a comfortable home base in the epicenter of London.

Reviews for The Rubens at the Palace
Fabulous Stay
We were celebrating our wedding anniversary with a champagne afternoon tea which was delicious- an extra bonus was the upgrade for £25 to bottomless champagne.... The room was delightful, breakfast delicious and the location was fabulous. Staff were so friendly including the doorman. The bar also had a great singer which rounded the evening off nicely. Definitely an special hotel for a special occasion.

AMAZING stay!
I had the best time staying here! The staff were extraordinary and just the best! Pascal was always so helpful and eager to help us with everything! From helping with our luggage to tracking down a black cab, Pascal was wonderful! I could not recommend this hotel more! Great location, great staff, lovely and clean hotel rooms, what more could you ask for!

Lovely stay at Rubens at The Palace
The hotel is lovely, and comfortable. All the staff are very friendly, polite and nothing is too much trouble for them. Raj and the Guest Services team go out of their way to assist with everything, including transport, help with luggage, and answer any query you may have. The New York Bar is relaxing, and all the staff there are very friendly and helpful.

A Superior Hotel
We LOVED our stay at The Rubens! Our room was small but lovely, our afternoon tea and scones were delightful and delicious, and our interactions with the staff were warm and personal. We were always greeted and asked about our day, either upon leaving the hotel in the morning or upon returning. Both my husband and I felt that the head concierge, John Goncalves, has created an exceptionally professional atmosphere with attention to detail. Also, who could resist Jahangir the best doorman we’ve ever encountered. And last, but not least, we appreciated the guest service manager, Sophie Pegler and her knowledge of the area. We couldn’t have had a better experience at a London hotel!

A favorite always
A favorite hotel-This typical European luxury hotel offer charming rooms, albeit some are small, a great bar and wonderful, friendly service. Stayed here for 5 days and needed to change rooms because of my granddaughter joining us and everything was handled as smoothly as I could have wished for. We also needed to change some activities we had booked, and the concierge made it all happen. The doorman was amazing, and everyone was as helpful as they possibly could be. Love this place!

We were simply blown away by every single detail.

I just returned from an amazing 6 nights at The Rubens. My trip was for business and at the last minute, I had to bring my baby along. This worried me greatly, but thanks to the wonderful staff of the hotel, my week went off without a hitch. The staff couldn't have been any kinder, more helpful, or professional. From the moment we arrived, special attention was paid to the baby and any assistance I needed. There is no doubt that I will be returning to this hotel. It has won a special place in my heart.

Our package at the Rubens at the Palace let my mother and me live like a queen. From the flowers in the room, the beautiful suite, the daily high tea, the staff - everything was a deluxe vacation opportunity. My previous vacations to London pale in comparison to this experience.
-P. Conway
I stayed at the hotel and found it to be delightful. It was a good, central location with comfortable, well-appointed rooms. The staff was outstanding, and the food was quite good. I would definitely stay there again!
-L. Read
I can't say enough about the amazing service at the hotel. Everyone was so friendly and helpful whenever we had questions or needed help. The concierge was wonderful and went out of his way to come check on us and see how our day our was turning out. It made us feel very welcome and almost like family! The room was very comfortable, the food in the bar was great, service was amazing. We'll stay here again!
