51 Buckingham Gate, Taj Suites & Residences
London

An all-suite heritage hotel just minutes from Buckingham Palace, Taj 51 Buckingham Gate is perfect for families or long stays in the capital.

The spacious and luxurious 1, 2 or 3 bedroom suites give you that comfortable home-away-from-home feel, just as though you were in your own private apartment in central London. Each suite is equipped with a fully functioning kitchen, dining and sitting area, bathrooms, and well-laid out bedrooms so that each guest has their own privacy. A perfect mix of luxury hotel amenities and modern home comforts, instead of extravagance and unnecessary frills you'll find space galore and practical touches like a washing machine in the kitchen.

Unlike home however, you'll find a large range of dining options and bars on your doorstep, each offering unique cuisines and cooking styles. Kona offers an innovative European menu, whilst Bistro has a relaxed and international atmosphere. Your taste buds will be transported to the Southwest Indian coast at the Michelin-starred Quilon, and the elegant Zander Bar will perfectly round off the evening with a classic cocktail. There is also the central St James’ Courtyard which serves breakfast and alfresco dining in summertime around the majestic Victorian fountain.

The spa and wellness centre are incredibly large considering 51 Buckingham Gate's location, and treatments are tailored to each guests’ requirement. There is also a personal training programme which can either be arranged in the park or in the gym.

The Hamley's package will keep little ones very happy too, and as well as a Hamley's hamper on arrival, you'll benefit from a personal shopping experience and in-store discounts.

I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything.
