The Goring

Overview

Located on a quiet, leafy side street in central London’s elegant Belgravia neighborhood, The Goring is arguably London’s most elegant hotel, embodying impeccable English luxury hospitality and personalized service.

A regal red brick and ivy-covered Edwardian property, The Goring is the only hotel with a previous appointment to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (2013-2022). And with only 69 luxurious suites and rooms, The Goring is affectionately known as a “Baby Grand” with a cozy intimacy despite its grandeur. Quirky details add a dash of warmth and humor to their stately setting, such as The Goring iconic wooden sheep or a visit from Teddy, their loyal Shetland pony.

The hotel’s interior is beautifully enhanced by The Goring Gardens – one of the largest private gardens in the capital. The Veranda provides guests with the perfect setting to enjoy the award-winning afternoon tea with windows for sweeping views of the hotel's gardens. Downstairs, the sleek, marble-floored lobby leads the way to The Dining Room, a renowned Michelin-starred restaurant celebrating the very best of British cuisine under the direction of Executive Chef Graham Squire and the glow of sparkling Swarovski chandeliers.

Accommodations

The Goring's 69 sumptuous rooms and suites are all unique, each reflecting a mix of classic English style and modern comforts. Stunning appliqué wallpaper, antique dressing tables, plush velvet armchairs, and hand-woven Gainsborough silks combine with contemporary décor and amenities like individually controlled air-conditioning and mood lighting, marble bathrooms with luxe toiletries from Asprey, speedy in-room WiFi and cozy Egyptian cotton bathrobes. Families have the option of booking interconnecting rooms with shared bathrooms, while couples will love the stunning terrace suites with private balconies overlooking the property’s expertly manicured gardens.

And with a fleet of debonair footmen (for those staying in the Belgravia and Royal Suite) always at the ready to provide 24/7 assistance, guests will experience The Goring’s truly exceptional personalized attention first-hand.

For children, The Goring is full of surprises and creative toys to spark their imagination. The Goring’s Dressing Up Box is brimming with costumes and accessories for 3-9 year olds outfitted with children's favorites from a fairytale princesses to Harry Potter, Beefeaters, Royalty, a British Bobby or a Guardsman. Their Bedtime Story Library is also available with a collection of short stories, fables, picture books, old favorites and modern classics.
