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.

This is NOT a five...

Liked: Location.Staff nice and friendly.
Disliked: This is NOT a five star hotel!!! This is a 3 star hotel!!! And whoever wrote good reviews here clearly never been to a one.Room too small and too dark, but ok. But the bed was also too small, and no, we are not overweight, but we are tall. Not a five star hotel. There is no plug in the bathroom, so when you want to dry your hair, you need to do it on the bed, with the small round mirror.Lightning is bad in room, not good for make up girlies or boys.No iron in room as well. You need to ask for it and I hate it when I need to ask for something, when I need to complain, that’s why I go to a five star hotel, to avoid those types of situations.Bathroom smells of mould and the shower was mouldy. Again, not a five star hotel!Carpet in the room was probably never cleaned. It is not enough only the vacuum it! Why on earth do you have a carpet in a hotel room?!We came on 12.08. in the evening and the next day we decided not to have a cleaning service because it wasn’t necessary. On the 14th cleaning service only got us new towels and made a bad. Nothing else. Bathroom was not cleaned! We didn’t get any water as well. On the 15th the room was cleaned and on the 16th again was not cleaned and no water again.
