The Spotlight on The Guardsman - Preferred Hotels and Resorts

Boutique Comfort Steps from London’s Historic Heart

Modern, upscale, and refreshingly personal, The Guardsman - Preferred Hotels and Resorts is a stylish boutique hotel nestled in Westminster, just a short stroll from iconic London landmarks like Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey. Offering a sleek, contemporary design with a warm, intimate feel, it's an ideal base for concert-goers looking for comfort, convenience, and a touch of luxury.

Rooms are thoughtfully appointed with air-conditioning, flat-screen satellite TVs, en suite showers, and handy extras like kettles and hairdryers. With family rooms available and a 24-hour front desk, it’s a great fit whether you’re here for a solo gig night or a group weekend away.

Why Concert-goers love it

Set just minutes from popular venues in central London, The Guardsman makes it easy to catch your show and get back without hassle. The quiet, tucked-away location in Westminster means you’re close to the action—but worlds away when it’s time to wind down. With 24-hour reception and room service, late arrivals or post-concert cravings are no problem. Plus, the flexible 12:00 pm checkout lets you sleep in after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want an upscale but cozy spot to crash after a night out
  • Solo travelers in town for a once-in-a-lifetime show
  • Couples planning a romantic concert getaway
  • Fans who need a quiet retreat after loud crowds and encore sets
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want boutique style

Food and Drink Options

The Guardsman features an on-site restaurant and bar serving up delicious fare with city views—perfect for a pre-show bite or nightcap. Guests can enjoy a buffet or Full English breakfast, even after sleeping in. While late-night dining isn’t 24/7, room service is available around the clock, and you're within walking distance of numerous eateries.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself offers a refined, relaxed atmosphere, it’s just a short ride or stroll to Soho, South Bank, and other areas packed with bars, clubs, and live music venues. Prefer to stay in? The on-site bar is a great place to unwind with a craft cocktail or local drink.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel’s friendly and attentive staff, its immaculate rooms, and the unbeatable location near major attractions and venues. Many appreciate the peaceful vibe after a lively night out, and the high-quality breakfast gets frequent mentions.

Areas for Improvement

If you’re looking for a large hotel with loads of amenities, this boutique spot is more about quality than quantity. The restaurant menu is a bit limited, and some guests note that room sizes can feel compact—though still very comfortable.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting a stylish, central, and quiet base after a gig, The Guardsman delivers boutique charm and big-city convenience in equal measure.

Liked: Everything about this hotel is simply stunning, relaxing, luxurious and everything is catered for. The team are amazing and so attentive, the detail around the hotel and in the rooms, such as touch pad controls, heating, A/C, mini bar area and finishing touches were very well thought out. Bed was super comfy, pillows too, we actually looked to see which ones they were! Breakfast was nice and although the drinks were cold they quickly made fresh ones when we mentioned it. Just a perfect stay!
Disliked: Nothing
