A regal hotel overlooking Buckingham Palace

Our beautifully restored historic hotel is cared for by a team who take genuine pride in delivering impeccable service and exceeding expectations at every turn. Overlooking The Royal Mews of Buckingham Palace - the entrance used by the Royal family - The Rubens showcases exceptional dining journeys and enriching and rewarding experiences, from the very first moment guests are greeted by our red-uniformed doormen.

Recent additions to staff facilities on the farm include the construction of a new Recreation Room for our farm workers, including cloak rooms and a self-catering style cafeteria.
