Royal Garden Hotel
Royal Garden Hotel is a 5-star hotel in London, England,[1] located in the borough of Kensington.
History
The Royal Palace Hotel
The hotel was preceded by the former Royal Palace Hotel, a Victorian-era hotel completed in 1893 designed by British architect, Basil Champneys.[2] As part of the war effort in the 1900s, The Royal Palace was taken over and used as the headquarters for the Woman's Royal Voluntary Service.[3]
Demolition and rebuilding
In the 1961, as part of a Labour Government grant, the Queen Anne-style building[2] was demolished and completely rebuilt in a Brutalist-style under the guide of architect, Colonel Richard Seifert.[4] The hotel re-opened in 1965 as the Royal Garden Hotel, operated by the Oddeninos hotel company.[5]
Later history
In 1994, the hotel was bought by the Singaporean entrepreneur, Tan Sri Khoo Teck Puat, and undertook a £30 million refurbishment. It reopened in April 1996 under the management of Khoo's Goodwood Group, joining the group's two Singapore hotels, the Goodwood Park Hotel and the York Hotel.[6]
In May 2011, the hotel completed the final stage of an extensive £45 million refurbishment.[7][5]
The hotel closed in 2020, with plans and reopened in 2022 following the refurbishment of rooms and a restaurant.[8]
