Westminster & Parliamentary Proximity

The hotel occupies a location on Broadway, one of Westminster's principal streets, directly opposite St James's Park tube station and near 55 Broadway. The proximity to Parliament is so close that the property sits within hearing distance of the Division Bell—the bell that tolls when a parliamentary division occurs, signalling members to return to vote.

This exceptional location reflects the building's original purpose. Queen Anne's Chambers, constructed at the turn of the 20th century, was specifically designed to house chambers for those requiring close access to the seat of government. Notable early tenants included The Brewers' Society (1909–1917), which engaged government on wartime concerns over beer production and sugar rationing, and the Treasury Solicitor's office.

Transport & Accessibility

St James's Park tube station is directly opposite the hotel, providing convenient access to the tube network and connections throughout London.

The Westminster location ensures proximity to significant London destinations including the Houses of Parliament, government offices, and historic sites throughout the area.

Historic Context

The building's 19th-century façade and history as Queen Anne's Chambers situate guests within a layer of political and administrative history. During World War II, the building housed government workers whose industries faced dramatic impact from wartime conditions.

The 2014 renovation preserved this heritage context while introducing contemporary hotel amenities and design standards.
