London's 51 Buckingham Gate Introduces Five New Suites
The $1.8 million investment was overseen by London-based designer Sue Freeman and reflects the hotel's continued dedication in extending a veritable 'home away from home' experience for guests.

The inspiration behind the renovation was to extend a feeling of tranquility, evoked by 51's unique setting, positioned around a secluded courtyard garden - a rarity in central London.

Two of the suites offer a generous 1,800 square feet of space and come fully-equipped with three spacious bedrooms and bathrooms in addition to separate kitchen, living and dining room space overlooking 51's private courtyard. There's also a 2-bedroom suite, and two 3-bedroom suites, each with separate living and dining spaces. The piece de resistance is the ability to convert two full floors into a private space, offering nine bedrooms and extensive living areas, connected via an internal staircase - arguably one of the largest suites in the capital - introducing The Presidential Floor.

Combining all the facilities and convenience of a luxury hotel with the space and exclusivity of a private home, 51 Buckingham Gate, Taj Suites & Residences consists of three individually designed buildings: Kings, Falconers and Ministers. The buildings have been beautifully restored and '51' now offers 86 elegant suites each with their own separate kitchen and living area. Located in St. James's and just minutes from Buckingham Palace, shops and theaters of the West End, the townhouse hotel is an ideal base for a long weekend visit to London.
