The Goring London
An Intimate Luxury Boutique Hotel in London
One of the best kept secrets in London, The Goring Hotel is the last remaining family owned luxury hotel in London. Being the closest hotel to Buckingham Palace and the only hotel to have been granted a Royal Warrant by Queen Elizabeth II, The Goring has welcomed royalty and dignitaries, including Winston Churchill since its founding in 1910. With only 69 rooms and suites, this boutique hotel is one of the finest of traditional hotels in London.
The essence of The Goring is the combination of warm personalized service and impeccable traditional English hospitality making you feel like an honored and welcomed guest from the moment you arrive. The elegant spaces are adorned with traditional handwoven silks and include The Veranda overlooking The Goring Gardens, one of the largest private gardens in London and the perfect setting for the traditional English afternoon tea, The Goring Bar where you can enjoy lively cocktails and the Michelin-Starred Dining Room.
The Goring is situated in the Central London neighborhood of Belgravia, with Buckingham Palace a few steps away. It’s perfectly located for those wanting to experience London’s iconic sights with Knightsbridge, Mayfair and Sloane Street nearby.

THE GORING LONDON
Set on a quiet tree lined street a short walk from Buckingham palace, Victoria Station and Westminister Abby, The Goring is located in one of Central london’s most desirable areas with easy access to great shopping, theatre and some of London’s most famous landmarks.
The Goring was the ideal hotel for our multigenerational family trip to London as it offered an ideal location to walk to many of Central London’s sights including Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Parliament, etc. Only a few blocks from the London Underground and Victoria station also make this the ideal springboard to visit sights outside of Central London as well as the British Countryside. Theaters and shopping are but a short double decker bus or short cab ride away.
The Goring offers a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of Central London as its staff warmly welcomes you back and you enjoy a breath of fresh air in the Goring Gardens or unwind and enjoy afternoon tea or a cocktail in the cozy interior spaces emanating traditional British elegance.
Every room at The Goring is unique and offers refined English design elements including silk lined walls, handmade furniture and marble bathrooms. Rooms range from 270 to 325 Sqft and include connecting room options. Suites range from 430 to 1,625 Sqft and include a dedicated footman dressed in scarlet tailcoats and immaculate gold-trimmed waistcoats.
The Veranda is the ideal setting to enjoy a traditional English tea with delicious pastries, homemade jams and custom tea blends in bright and airy setting overlooking the Goring garden.
The Goring Cocktail Bar is offers live entertainment and a thriving bar scene where you can enjoy a light meal or one of their signature cocktails while experiencing London’s thriving bar scene.
The Dining Room at The Goring is a Michelin-Starred restaurant with bright opulent interiors and impeccable service. The menu consists of fresh seasonal options and signature British dishes.
The Goring is ideally located in London’s Belgravia neighborhood making it a perfect location for sight seeing. Buckingham Palace is only one block away and Victoria Station Westminster Abbey and Parliament are a short walk from the hotel. Aside from nearby sights, London offers a myriad of historical sites such as the Tower of London and some of the world’s top museums including the Tate, Victoria and Albert and the National Gallery. For performing arts aficionados, London’s theater and concert scene is only rivaled by New York.
London is one of the greenest cities in the world and home to many parks hidden amidst this bustling metropolis. Some of the most famous of these include Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, Green Park and St James Park, all located a short distance from The Goring.
From fish and chips at a pub to Indian food to Michelin Star restaurants London has it all. I recommend you contact the Goring’s concierge prior to arrival to get recommendations and make reservations as the best restaurants book up well in advance.
Shopping! A trip to London would not be complete without walking the main shopping districts of Belgravia, Kensington, Mayfair, Soho, Regent Street, Noting Hill and Chelsea. Each of these destinations offers a different flavor which is why London offers something for everyone.
