Opened in 1910, this impeccably English hotel remains a favourite address for anyone seeking an elegant, hidden gem in the centre of London.
The Goring
Belgravia is one of the most exclusive areas in central London, meaning that The Goring is perfectly placed for spectacular sights. The iconic walls of Buckingham Palace border the district and Knightsbridge, Mayfair and Sloane Street are nearby.
Through four generations of the Goring family, the hotel has come to deliver some of the finest personal service in the world. Everything from the Linley designed dining room celebrating the very best of British cuisine, to the artistry of the hand-woven Gainsborough Silks which adorn the walls, The Goring is a wonder to behold. The inside of the hotel is beautifully enhanced by The Goring Gardens – one of the largest private gardens in the capital. The gardens, as well as the lounge bar, provide guests with the perfect setting to enjoy the hotel’s award-winning afternoon tea.
With only 69 luxurious suites and rooms, The Goring is affectionately known as a ‘Baby Grand’. As the closest hotel to Buckingham Palace, it has been a firm Royal favourite since first opening. The coronations of George VI and Her Majesty The Queen saw the hotel filled with royalty from all over the world. The Queen Mother also famously enjoyed Eggs Drumkilbo, a lobster and egg-based dish that remains one of the most popular dishes at The Goring. In 1990, George Goring accepted an O.B.E. from The Queen at Buckingham Palace for ‘services to the hotel industry’. This was followed by the appointment of a Royal Warrant to The Goring in 2013 – the only hotel to have been awarded a Royal Warrant for hospitality services.
