One of the oldest, privately owned luxury hotels in London, the Goring overlooks its own private gardens, where you can play a game of croquet if the feeling takes you.
In fact, its garden is the ideal setting for those searching for harmony and botanical beauty – a secret haven where guests are positively encouraged to relax with a good book and a cup of tea, weather permitting of course.
Perfectly placed adjacent to Buckingham Palace, each of the hotel’s 69 opulent and individually designed bedrooms and suites exude English style.
But that’s not the only link to the Royal family with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother famously enjoying Eggs Drumkilbo at the Goring – a lobster and egg-based dish that remains one of the most popular in The Dining Room.
Furthermore, in 1990 the late George Goring accepted an OBE from HM Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace for services to the hotel industry, which was followed by the appointment of a Royal Warrant to the hotel in 2013.
Reaffirming that special link to the Royal family, the garden features a mix of His Majesty The King’s favourite flowers and shrubs as well as elements from the four nations of the United Kingdom.
The wonderfully unique venue, known affectionately as a ‘Baby Grand’ prides itself on personal service and attention to every guest need.
Afternoon tea is a big part of the hotel’s offer, served overlooking the garden in The Veranda on a daily basis delighting guests with delicious pastries, fruity homemade jams and high-quality team blends.
The Goring remains a favourite address and hidden gem for those looking for an impeccably English luxury hotel in the centre of London.
