Our Inspector's Highlights

All suites, even the basic type, are exceptionally well-equipped with a full kitchen that includes a fridge, freezer, stovetop oven, dishwasher and a plethora of dishware and cooking utensils. The washer/dryer in the kitchen doesn’t hurt either.
You'll feel like you've moved in, not checked in. Reception, Kona, the butlers and the concierge team go out of their way to make guests feel like long-time residents, not overnight visitors.
Even the smallest suite is huge by London standards. The unit is equipped with a separate sitting area and a bathroom, which is big enough to get lost in, comes with two heated towel racks, a large glass-walled shower and a deep soaking tub.
Completing the hotel's warm, welcoming feel, every guest is invited to a daily complimentary cocktail hour, 6:00 to 7:00 p.m., hosted in the lounge, with wine, beer and cocktails all on offer.
At the hotel’s acclaimed restaurant Quilon, chef Sriram Aylur brings the flavors of India's southwest coast to the table (think: coconut, curry leaves, black pepper, all woven through seafood-forward dishes).

Things to Know

Some suites, including the Kings suites, sit in a separate building from the lobby. That means guests can often come and go freely, without reception, concierge or door staff as a checkpoint.
Older, smaller elevators are the norm across London hotels, and this one is no exception. In the King's building specifically, the lift is shared between service staff and guests, so those on higher floors may face the occasional wait.

The Rooms

Style, color palette and furnishings shift, depending on which townhouse you land in. Even the most discerning traveler will find a fit.

Guests will discover a bedroom with a king-sized plush bed, flat-screen television and a three-seat sofa anchored by a coffee table stacked with magazines and the day's newspapers.

The bathrooms at Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites and Residences go big with double-sink vanity, his-and-hers robes, heated towel racks, a spacious tub and a glass-walled shower with both fixed and handheld heads.

The Look

The design of two thematic suites reaches whimsical heights. The two-bedroom Cinema Suite, created by renowned Indian designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee, pays tribute to both Old Hollywood and India's Bollywood. It features rare Bollywood film prints, Nina Campbell wallpapers, vintage mirrors, leather Chesterfield sofas, sumptuous silk drapery and elegant oak flooring.
The Jaguar Suite, a collaboration between the hotel and Jaguar Land Rover overseen by former Jaguar design director Ian Callum, channels the sports car's DNA through leather, metal and high-gloss veneer, with subtler touches like wood-paneled entrances and custom Jaguar wallpaper.
Interiors are elegantly grand yet designed for comfortable living long-term, blending muted, sophisticated tones with vibrant, artistic accents.
