Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites and Residences

Lovely property in a fantastic location. Suite is spacious and very comfortable. My husband and I were celebrating a milestone birthday and upon check-in were surprised with an upgrade and a cake (waiting for us in the room). I can’t say enough good things about this property. The entire staff is welcoming and very friendly. The reception staff couldn’t be any nicer. The concierge is fantastic and provided great recommendations. We loved the daily breakfast and the happy hour each evening. For what you get, the overall value is absolutely worth it. This was our first time staying in a Taj property and it did not disappoint. Can’t wait to come back.

Great location to Victoria station, lovely size room with everything we needed. Unlike most hotels we stay in now days there was plenty of bottled water available. Breakfast was fantastic.

Located in the heart of London at a stone's throw from the Buckingham Palace, which made it easy for us to just walk to all the major sights of London we wanted to show to our daughter. Excellent food (with a bias towards Indian cuisine admittedly) and generous afternoon tea and evening happy hour offer to boot. Michelin star restaurant Quilon is part of the premises, and it was lovely. Service is simply outstanding, and the suite we had was very well appointed and spacious too!

With Taj 51 Buckingham Gate, I am always assured that service will score 1000 out of 100. Not only do the people at Taj exceed your expectation by 10 times, but they treat you like their family, with compassion and dedication unparallel to any hotel in the world!! I am so overwhelmed by my experience. I am a devoted Marriot Bonvoy member who prefers the Ritz or a Marriot brand/Partner Hotel in a new city--except when I am in London. Taj will be my go-to hotel--always. I specifically want to give a huge shout-out to these amazing people-- Mohit, for making the check-in process very welcoming (last year I had expressed my slight disappointment that check-in was less personal, and this year, the change already went into action--what a difference). Amit for ensuring that our booking process was stress-free and there was no conflict due to double booking-- we found a last-minute upgrade in room size. A huge thanks to Shubham for ensuring that our breakfast and special meals could meet the dietary restrictions of my elderly mother. He was there every single day, at the Kona Cafe, to meet and greet all his guests. Tapan, who was on night duty, helped us arrange an emergency visit to St Thomas--the local hospital. And a very big thanks to Ron-- he made special efforts to come to visit my mother with flowers after she came back from the hospital. He sent a fruit platter to our room and came to revisit her before we left but more than that he was always there to help out. Lana for meeting all the in-room needs of my family. Gabriella at Kona Cafe and Harsh took care of us while were there. I am sorry, I forgot the name of other staff members, but there was not a single person at Taj who made us feel less than VIPs. Nelson took care of our tours and Tibor, as always rushed to get the Taxi for us when we left for outings. I wish I could give 10 stars in every single category. We love you all @Taj!!

Great for families. The suite was big and was stocked with everything we needed to make it a comfortable stay. All the restaurants are family-friendly, the staff are very kind, the building is beautiful. The interior of the room looked better in person than in the pictures (Minister suite). Very comfortable and clean. The location is quiet and peaceful, but just a few minutes walking from the main sights. It was easy with a baby in a stroller and a 4 year old. The on-site restaurants where we ate (Kona and Quilon) did a great job accommodating my difficult dietary restrictions. It was a perfect experience!
