The Goring is a bastion of traditional British luxury in Belgravia, family-owned since it opened in 1910 and the only hotel ever to be granted a Royal Warrant for hospitality services. A short walk from Buckingham Palace, it is famous for impeccable service, a beautiful private garden and its place in royal history.
Why it stands out
The Goring is old-school in the best sense: discreet, gracious and quintessentially English, the kind of place that earns lifelong loyalty. Its proximity to the Palace and Royal Mews makes it a natural base for royal London.
What to expect
Expect classically appointed rooms and suites, the Michelin-starred Dining Room, and a celebrated afternoon tea overlooking the garden. The atmosphere is calm, personal and reassuringly understated.
Visiting tips
Victoria station is a few minutes' walk, handy for the Gatwick Express and onward travel. It sits close to Belgravia and Victoria. Afternoon tea welcomes non-residents.
