Romance
With each room carrying a romantically luxurious air, it’s not hard to get lost in the moment. Upon request, the staff will arrange, with pleasure, a romantic turn-down service, complete with rose petals scattered across the bed, dimmed lights and candles softly glimmering around the room; adding that certain something to an already magnificent experience. If you’d really like to celebrate your evening in style, a bottle of champagne can be included, bringing the finishing touch to an exquisite scene.
Your Stay
Whether it’s a Superior guestroom, a Royal guestroom, or one of the 10 breathtaking suites available, each room is a shining example of The Ruben’s standard of service. Traditional, intricate designs, fit for the gentry that once inhabited this place, are accompanied discreetly by the modern amenities we all love. Luxury comes easily here. If you’re looking for something particularly unforgettable, you might want to have a look at the Master Suite. With its soft tones and its wonderful views, you’re sure to share some very special moments in this spacious home away from home.
What to Do
During the summer, The Rubens can offer a lovingly crafted romantic picnic for you to take with you, should you fancy a stroll through Green Park, Hyde Park or St James’s Park - as when it comes to the serenity of nature, you’re spoilt for choice with all three located just minutes away from the hotel. Perhaps in the evening you’d like to see a bit more of the city. For a truly special moment, there is nothing like a ride on the London Eye at sunset with a couple of glasses of champagne.
