Aristocratic Heritage & Legendary Taj Hospitality
Once the aristocratic residence of Lords and Ladies of the Royal Court, Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites and Residences offers an extraordinary blend of historic London pedigree and world-renowned Taj hospitality. Nestled in prestigious Westminster just a two-minute stroll from Buckingham Palace and St. James’s Park, this five-star all-suite sanctuary is comprised of three magnificent Victorian townhouses—Kings, Falconers, and Minsters—enclosing an award-winning Victorian garden courtyard with an ornate cherub fountain presented by Queen Victoria.
The property features 86 sumptuously appointed suites and residences ranging from stylish one-bedroom suites to expansive multi-bedroom townhouses and bespoke signature residences (including the Cinema Suite and Jaguar Suite). Every residence boasts generous living and dining salons, fully equipped kitchens, marble bathrooms with plush robes and luxury amenities, and attentive Golden Keys Concierge and personalized butler service.
Gastronomy at Taj 51 is celebrated on the world stage. It is home to Quilon, holder of a coveted Michelin star since 2008, where Chef Sriram Aylur crafts inventive South West coastal Indian fare. House of Ming delivers imperial Sichuan and Cantonese fine dining, while TH@51 offers eclectic global flavors. Kona presents London’s most acclaimed themed afternoon teas—including the Midsummer Night’s Dream collection—and The Hamptons Bar serves craft mixology and Champagne. Wellness is redefined at Jiva Spa, offering authentic holistic Ayurvedic therapies and restorative body rituals.
