The pearly gate

Combining all the facilities and convenience of a luxury hotel with the space and exclusivity of a private home, 51 Buckingham Gate is a delight

Comments  

Located in the heart of Westminster in Central London, 51 Buckingham Gate, Taj Suites and Residences consists of three individually designed buildings: Kings, Falconers and Minsters comprising 86 suites, including junior suites, one-bedroom suites, two-bedroom suites, three-bedroom suites, and up to five-bedroom suites, many with the flexibility of interconnecting rooms. These buildings surround a tranquil courtyard garden with a fountain and Shakespearean frieze. Sympathetically restored and fully modernised, the 1901 masterpiece of Victorian High Empire architecture offers elegantly styled suites.

London’s centres of power are all close by with Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, the Home Office and the Foreign Office all within a few minutes walk of ‘51’. It is also a short stroll from two of London’s most beautiful parks – St James’s and Green Park. International connections are excellent with express trains to Gatwick Airport from nearby Victoria Station and good road access to Heathrow Airport.

EARTH (Environment Awareness & Renewal at Taj Hotels) is a new concept sweeping the Taj brand globally. The concept of an EARTH room is to introduce environmentally friendly measures, without compromising guests’ experience of Taj’s signature hospitality.

The hotel boasts three restaurants and two bars including the Michelin starred Quilon – the sister restaurant of the famous Bombay Brasserie where Chef Sriram Aylur serves South Indian coastal cuisine.

The award-winning Courtyard at 51 plays host to BBQs, afternoon tea and drinks in the summer months and is also available for private hire – the perfect setting for al fresco dining and sure to please executive and leisure traveller alike.

Spa at 51 – The spa features Anne Sémonin products and treatments exclusively. Anne Sémonin is the original pioneer of the ‘à la carte’ spa concept. It was the first brand to combine trace elements and essential oils within a complete spa range. All treatments present a highly individualised and holistic approach to beauty and the products use only natural ingredients.
