For almost a century, four generations of the Goring family have run The Goring. Today the hotel is a bastion of quality and absolute individuality, with awards for London's Top Hotel, The Worlds Finest Service and Best British Restaurant in London. The Goring is an institution, an epitome of Englishness and quite possibly, the last bastion of traditional grand service and manners. Overlooking its own private gardens, The Goring is lovingly known as London's quintessentially English hotel. This award winning, family owned property, is perfectly placed for all the capital's premier attractions. Buckingham Palace and the exclusive boutiques of Knightsbridge and Sloane Street are just minutes away. The Goring was the very last grand hotel of the Edwardian era to be built. Completed in 1910, it is now the oldest, privately owned luxury hotel in London. Each of the 71 individually designed bedrooms and suites exude English style with the latest Nina Campbell bedrooms a complete triumph! Whilst the feel varies from Traditional Country House to Classic British, the latest technology is installed throughout. The Garden Bar and Terrace have always been the ideal destination for sumptuous afternoon teas or rewarding glasses of champagne to toast the day's success. Now the new Veranda offers the perfect setting to dine 'al fresco' overlooking the enchanting gardens.
