THE GUARDSMAN
THE WORLD OF HOSPITALITY
27
The hotel faces Buckingham Gate and extends
down the quieter, more hidden, Vandon Street.
Guests can request a specific room or
residence along with their preferred brand of
drinks, menu items or bathroom products, all of
which will be prepared ready for their arrival.
From the moment guests arrive, they will feel
at home with the Guardsman’s discrete yet
attentive service.
The hotel has an unmistakably British feel that
befits such a prestigious address. Interiors are
contemporary and relaxed, complemented by
a few carefully chosen, classic and sometimes
quirky embellishments.
Bespoke furniture fills the intimate public
spaces and curated art adorns the walls.
The individually styled bedrooms are
exceptionally comfortable. Meticulously
considered interior design and clever use of
space ensure each room feels spacious, whilst
flourishes such as custom-made furnishings
and free-standing baths combine with more
classic features like herringbone parquet
flooring to continue the unmistakably British
feel.
State-of-the-art HDTVs with integrated
Chromecast ensure all travellers’ technological
needs are met.
The spaces for dining and socialising are set
over two levels, perfect for relaxing, reading,
small gatherings or enjoying the carefully
selected whiskeys and spirits as well as a
sommelier-curated wine list.
At the core of the hotel’s personality is the
exquisite restaurant, open to residents and
their guests only. Although a few select British
classic dishes will always be available, menus

are developed from seasonal produce sourced
from carefully selected purveyors, London
markets and organic farms.
There are no rules on dining times, just
suggestions, and room service will be available
around the clock.
The Guardsman is now taking reservations here
and through Preferred Hotels & Resorts.
The Guardsman is owned and operated by
Shiva Hotels and represents a new direction in
this market for the group.
