The Goring

Situated a couple of minutes' stroll from Buckingham Palace, The Goring is a charming hotel that could not be better placed for the enjoyment of all that London has to offer: The glamour of Knightsbridge and Sloane Street, the bustle of Piccadilly and Theatreland, the shopping and art-steeped milieus of Bond Street and Jermyn Street are all close by. The hotel's immediate vicinity features restaurants, bars, pubs, nightlife spots, public transport links and shops. Hyde Park is 500 metres away, Westminster Abbey is 600 metres away, the Houses of Parliament are 800 metres away and Harrods is 1 mile from the establishment. Victoria station is just 200 metres away from the hotel.

This family-friendly hotel has been run by 4 generations of the same family for almost a century. Today the charming hotel stands as a bastion of quality and absolute individuality. From the start, the secret of its success has been the understanding of what guests expect, luxurious comfort, good food and drink and the most attentive service. The air-conditioned establishment comprises 71 guest rooms and welcomes its guests into a lobby with 24-hour reception and check-out service, a hotel safe, currency exchange facilities and a cloakroom. On-site facilities include lift access, a bar, a restaurant and conference facilities. Fees apply for the 24-hour room service and laundry service, and the car park and garage.

Every bedroom and suite is unique, yet all are spacious, sumptuously decorated and furnished, and laden with delightful, considerate touches. English opulence is apparent throughout. With high-speed Internet access, individually regulated air conditioning and heating, and twice daily housekeeping services, the rooms provide a sense of tranquillity unique to London. The en suite bathrooms come with a bathtub and a hairdryer, and in-room amenities include a direct dial telephone, satellite/cable TV, a radio, an ironing set and a safe.

All guests can enjoy complimentary membership of a local health club with pool and gym, which is only five minutes' walk from the hotel. The concierge can also arrange golf, tennis, riding and jogging, almost any sporting activity guests can think of. (Additional fees may apply to some sports).

The Dining room has been recently redesigned. The Goring's restaurant is one of the most famous hotel restaurants in London, offering superbly cooked British food, and it has become through the years a highlight of the London scene.
