During my recent exploration of London, I had the pleasure of visiting The Rubens at the Palace, a hotel that seamlessly blends vibrant aesthetics with quintessential British hospitality. Situated directly across from Buckingham Palace, guests are treated to unparalleled views of the Royal Mews and the daily spectacle of the Changing of the Guard.
