The Goring, 1910 - 2010. One Hundred Years, One Family. The Goring is regarded the favourite address for anyone looking for the quintessentially English hotel in the heart of London. A hotel where every member of the team takes terrific pride in offering the highest levels of personal service, where guests are sincerely welcomed and can enjoy elegant individual accommodations, the tranquillity of its own private Gardens, and the utterly splendid Lounge Bar and Dining Room where the very best of British food and been celebrated for over a century. With just 71 rooms and suites The Goring is truly a “Baby Grand”, the finest of hotels in the perfect location but with the most intimate of atmospheres and personalised attention. Each room at The Goring is individually designed with classic good taste, offering the warmest of welcomes with the residential atmosphere of an English country house. Each has the latest in communication and entertainment systems with digital quality on-demand films and music and 24-hour high speed internet access. Forget “afterthought” hotel dining and hotel bars. At the Goring, the hotel IS the bar and the food is SERIOUS. The Bar throbs at the epicentre of London life. Designed by Tim Gosling, it smacks of colonial grandeur without the stuffed game. In the summer, the verandah overlooks the enormous gardens and is one of the hidden gems of the City. Afternoon tea is probably London’s best. This is no great achievement - we have had 100 years of practice. Our Chief Exec tastes the tea blends himself, even the weird and wonderful stuff. In The Dining Room, no apologies are made for serving PROPER British cuisine using produce so carefully sourced many of our supplier, farmer and producer names are kept in a safe. Breakfast at The Goring is an institution - black pudding and all.
