Set directly opposite Buckingham Palace and overlooking the Royal Mews, The Rubens at the Palace is an iconic five-star hotel from the Red Carnation Hotel Collection. Blending classic British elegance with warm hospitality, its collection of individually designed rooms, suites, and interconnecting accommodations makes it an unbeatable central base for multi-generational travel, first-time London visits, and celebratory stays.
The hotel boasts an exceptional range of dining options, from classic British cuisine and exclusive Romance Dinner packages at The English Grill to rich, authentic dishes at The Curry Room. Nightlife and drinks take center stage at the late-night New York Bar with its dynamic new tableside Negroni Trolley experience, alongside refreshing seasonal spritzes and summer cocktails served at The Leopard Bar.
Overlooking the Royal Mews, The Palace Lounge remains the hub of the hotel’s tea traditions, featuring themed options like the Hamilton High Tea and family-friendly activations like the Zog Family Afternoon Tea partnership. Thanks to its prime location, the venue is also a top choice for private events and milestone tea parties—ranging from hen parties and baby showers to exclusive Investiture celebrations hosted directly following Palace ceremonies.
