The Rubens at the Palace Chauffeur Service

The Rubens at the Palace occupies 39 Buckingham Palace Road, SW1W 0PS — directly opposite the Royal Mews entrance to Buckingham Palace, with some rooms overlooking the Palace's rear garden gates. The hotel's position is arguably the closest of any London hotel to the Palace gates — the Royal Mews, where the Royal carriages and horses are kept, is literally across the road. The Rubens is part of the Red Carnation Hotel Collection and maintains a Royalty and Empire theme throughout, including a collection of Royal memorabilia in the Palace Lounge.

The guest profile is largely international visitors — North American, Australian, and Asian tourists who want to be in the most literally 'Palace adjacent' position possible, and corporate guests who need quick access to Victoria Station (5 minutes) or the Gatwick Express. Your Imperial Ride chauffeur holds on Buckingham Palace Road at the hotel's entrance, SW1W 0PS, and the hotel's position on this wide, accessible road makes it one of the more straightforward hotel pick-up locations in central London.
