About The Goring
A private garden with room for croquet gives The Goring an unusually expansive backyard for a hotel within walking distance of Buckingham Palace. Its lawn, planted borders and deckchairs bring something of the English country house to Belgravia, with afternoon tea served on the overlooking Veranda. Run by four generations of the Goring family since Otto Goring founded it in 1910, the hotel carries that personal character indoors. Individually designed bedrooms include garden-facing rooms lined in Gainsborough silk, while the Michelin-starred Dining Room serves seasonal British cooking beneath wall decorations of monkeys drinking Champagne and emerging from cakes. Such playful details give its traditional English style a distinctly eccentric streak.
Why Celebrities Love The Goring
Continuity is the Goring's strongest argument. Family stewardship gives the address a recognisable personality, and the garden offers a particularly civilised setting for time with friends. Buckingham Palace nearby adds to the sense of being inside an enduring part of London life.
