51 Buckingham Gate, Taj Suites and Residences

51 Buckingham Gate sits on a quiet street behind the Royal Mews, a ten-minute walk from Buckingham Palace. It provides apartment-style suites rather than standard hotel rooms, aimed at travellers who prefer residential layouts over a lobby-heavy design.

The suites offer a sense of privacy that is rare for a location this central. While its neighbours lean into the traditional, transient feel of grand hotel corridors, this property acts as a home base for longer stays. You get the benefit of full kitchens and living areas, allowing you to sidestep the frantic pace of the surrounding district. It works better than a boutique hotel if you prefer your own front door to a concierge desk, as the layout prioritises personal space over the communal buzz of the city’s more crowded, high-traffic entries.
