Part of the Red Carnation Hotel Collection, The Rubens at the Palace occupies one of London’s most enviable addresses, directly opposite the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace and a five-minute walk from Victoria Station.
Individually designed rooms and suites range from Executive King Rooms to Royal Suites, with rooms overlooking the Royal Mews among the most sought-after in the collection. The hotel carries a distinctly British character throughout, from its interiors to its dining offer.
Six dining and bar venues cover considerable ground, from The English Grill for British fine dining to The Curry Room and the Palace Lounge. Afternoon tea, served with views of Buckingham Palace, is among the most celebrated in the area.
The hotel also offers cocktail masterclasses, curated tastings and evenings of live music, giving guests reasons to linger well beyond check-in.
