The Royal Garden Hotel opened in 1965 and was an official hotel for the FIFA World Cup the following year. The hotel also hosted the Euro 96 Championships, the Cricket World Cup 1999 and the ICC Champions Trophy 2004. The Royal Garden Hotel is the international sportspersons London hotel of choice. Sir Bobby Charlton and many of todays talented football stars have all stayed at the hotel as well as leading Japanese sumo wrestlers and international rugby and cricket teams, including more recently the England Rugby Team and the current Rugby World Champions, South Africa. The Royal Garden Hotel also boasts a rock star heritage. This has much to do with its location on High Street Kensington where swinging London took off in the 1960s. At that time, guests included Sonny and Cher, Abba and the Monkees.
