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 to have been granted a Royal Warrant for its hospitality services for Households of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. 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.

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.
