    We've had the royal afternoon tea time there. Yes, it is far away from being cheap. But you get a royal experience with plenty of fine and tasty food (you don't need lunch and breakfast on that day ;-) ), a wide selection of teas, served by great waitresses. We loved our moment there.

    We had a fantastic stay at The Rubens at the Palace during our time in London. The location alone is hard to beat. Our room actually overlooked the palace, which made the whole experience feel pretty special right from the start. You’re right in the middle of everything, but it still feels tucked away in its own little world. The hotel itself definitely leans into that classic, traditional style. It’s an older property, but they’ve done a great job making the most of the space. Our room was cozy but still a solid size, comfortable, and well put together. What truly set this place apart was the service. It may have been the best service I’ve experienced while traveling. From the doorman to the front desk to the restaurant staff, everyone was incredibly attentive and accommodating. At times it almost felt over the top, but in the best way possible. It really felt like as close to royal treatment as I’ve ever experienced. If you’re looking for a stay in London that combines location, charm, and top-tier service, this is a great choice.
