My husband and I have been living in London, on and off, for three years. We have stayed in many hotels and short term lease flats. Our last trip, which was in January, one of our favorite hotels, The St James Crowne Plaza, was booked. They suggested 51 Buckingham Gate, right next door. WOW....what a delight. Everything about this hotel is 5 star. The suites are beautiful but, truly, the service was exceptional. Breakfast is included and served in the quaint, cozy library. Each evening, between 6:30 and 8:30pm they serve complimentary cocktails and lovely appetizers. We will NEVER Shay elsewhere, if possible. Truly a pleasure!!

Dear mag774,
Thank you so very much for your wonderful review and most of all for following the advise from my colleagues at our sister hotel the Crowne Plaza London St James to try 51 Buckingham Gate.
I am delighted to know that you thoroughly enjoyed your stay and found your suite and the service you received to your liking.
It is also wonderful to know that you enjoyed your morning breakfast and you decided to book a package with your breakfast included, The Libary is indeed a very cozy place to relax and enjoy the extensive breakfast offering in the morning and of course you also have the choice to take your breakfast in the privacy of your suite if so you desire.
The complimentary drinks and canapes is a lovely way to start your evening before you go out for dinner or to the teatre and The Library transforms itself into a very intimate setting with its candles and soft music playing in the background.
I very much look forward to welcome you back again at 51 Buckingham Gate soon and to make of our hotel your most favourity hotel in London.
Best wishes
Araceli Rius-Perez
