The Rubens at the Palace lies at the heart of London's biggest tourist attractions. For business or pleasure, it's an unbeatable location. It is the closest hotel to Buckingham Palace, and within easy walking distance of Victoria Station and some of London's best shops and restaurants. From the hotel's windows you can watch the comings-and-goings of the guardsmen in the Royal Mews, or you can step outside to share in the unforgettable daily pageant of the Changing of the Guard. A walk westwards from the Rubens at the Palace takes you to the exclusive shopping areas of Sloane Square, King's Road, Sloane Street, and Knightsbridge. A little further on is Kensington and the great museums: the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Natural History Museum, and the Science Museum. Each room at Rubens is beautifully furnished and independently air-conditioned. There are bureau desks and, if you want it, a twice-daily maid service. Each room also has high-speed internet access for your laptop and a state-of-the-art entertainment system including interactive TV, a huge selection of on-demand movies, and a music library.
