Welcome to The Goring Hotel London 

Built by Jeremy Goring’s great-grandfather Otto in 1910, The Goring has been lovingly run by the Goring family since its inception.

A visionary, Otto Goring saw great promise in a plot of land situated at the Buckingham Palace end of what today is known as Beeston Place.

After removing a public house and several cottages, the path was laid clear for the last grand hotel of the Edwardian era – The Goring.

Opened on the 2nd March 1910 this historic hotel was finally complete, along with en suite facilities and central heating in each and every bedroom – widely believed to be a world first.

A number of historic events have taken place at The Goring over the last 110 years.

The Commander of the American Expeditionary Forces was based at the hotel during World War I. Winston Churchill held meetings with allied leaders in the Silver Room during World War II, while the Polish army in exile was based upstairs.

In between all that, every reigning Monarch and serving Prime Minister has been welcomed into the hotel since 1910. And, of course, there have been all sorts of other historic events where The Goring has been privileged to assist.

Today, The Goring remains a favourite address and hidden gem for anyone seeking out that impeccably English luxury hotel in the centre of London.

Through four generations of the Goring family, the hotel has come to deliver some of the finest personal service in the world.

This world class service is set against the elegant backdrop of the rest of the hotel.

From the Linley designed Dining Room celebrating the very best of British food, to the artistry of the hand-woven Gainsborough Silks which adorn the walls so gracefully, The Goring is a wonder to behold. The inside of the hotel is beautifully enhanced by The Goring Gardens – one of the largest private gardens in the capital.

The Gardens provide guests with the perfect setting to enjoy the award-winning afternoon tea and The Goring is proud to be leading the way in restoring this wonderfully English pastime to popularity once again. 

With only 69 luxurious suites and rooms, The Goring is affectionately known as a “Baby Grand”. It is the finest of traditional hotels in the perfect location, but with the most intimate of atmospheres and personalised attention.

Located in Belgravia – one of the most exclusive and elegant areas in central London – it is perfectly placed for spectacular sights and style.

The iconic walls of Buckingham Palace border the district and nearby Knightsbridge, Mayfair and Sloane Street make for a fashionable stay.

The closest hotel to Buckingham Palace, The Goring has been a firm Royal favourite for many years, since it first opened its doors.

The coronations of George VI and Her Majesty The Queen saw the hotel filled with royalty attending these great occasions from all over the world.

The Queen Mother also famously enjoyed Eggs Drumkilbo – a lobster and egg-based dish that remains one of the most popular dishes in The Dining Room.

In 1990, the late George Goring accepted an O.B.E. from Her Majesty The Queen at Buckingham Palace for ‘services to the hotel industry’.

This was followed by the appointment of a Royal Warrant to The Goring in 2013 – the only hotel to have been awarded a Royal Warrant for hospitality services.

Royal Warrants of Appointment are a mark of recognition to those who supply goods or services to the Households of Her Majesty The Queen, His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh or His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales. 

Those seeking harmony and botanical beauty need look no further than The Goring Garden, our exquisite floral oasis is perfect for retreating from the hubbub of London.

The Goring Garden is one of the finest – and largest – private gardens in London.

Harmonising the refreshing tranquillity of open green space with the intimacy of a secret garden; pristinely snow-topped in winter and delicately scented during the warmer months, The Goring Garden is a simply delightful secret haven.

Many of the bedrooms and suites look out over the manicured grass and guests are encouraged to relax with a good book and a cup of tea or to sip something cool in the summer sun.

For a unique event the largest of our private dining rooms – the aptly named Garden Room – joins seamlessly with the outdoors through an elegant glass conservatory. 

A complete redesign of the garden space in 2019 saw more than one hundred herbs planted in the garden to create home-made botanical infusions for our cocktails and to provide the freshest flavours and flowers to our food.

The Goring Garden truly is one of London’s most beautiful hidden hideaways.
