Book now with Booking.com

The Guardsman is a five star hotel and residence tucked away on an unsuspecting street in Westminster, six minutes on foot from Buckingham Palace, with members' club-style service and a team on call at any hour. This dog friendly hotel asks for advance notice: tell the hotel the dog is coming and confirm before you arrive, and what follows includes pet sitting and a dog walking service.

A welcome pack of accessories and tasty treats can be put together before the dog turns up. Rooms are designed one by one, no two the same, with beds you sink into, bespoke toiletries and a personal bar stocked past the usual options; the six residences go further, one to three bedrooms with a private kitchen and dining area. The hotel doesn't say how its rooms and residences are allocated to dogs, nor what the limit per room is, so cover both when you give your notice.

The dog's own beer and snacks are served in the Library or Drawing Room, and the hotel also lists home-cooked dishes for dogs such as poached cod and rib eye steak with doggie chips. The Dining Room, meanwhile, keeps no set hours and no standard menus, British cooking from smoked duck breast to battered haddock, and the bar holds 250 whiskies and a wine list of similar depth.

Afternoon tea is homemade start to finish, sandwiches, patisserie and freshly baked scones, and you could even take a picnic basket to one of the nearby parks. Regent's Canal: Little Venice to Camden Lock, 2.5 miles away on Wildpack's map, is the dog's longer outing.

Facts checked October 2026 from the hotel's own website. Details can change, so please confirm anything important, especially the dog rules, with the hotel before you book.
