Character and identity

A stone's throw from Buckingham Palace in Belgravia, The Goring has been run by the same family since 1910 and remains the only hotel ever granted a royal warrant by the late Queen Elizabeth II. With just 69 individually designed rooms, the mood is properly English: silken patterned walls, antique dressing tables, dramatic drapes, and cheeky Edwardian flourishes (look for the tux-wearing pig in the wallpaper, or Teddy the shetland pony in the garden). The one-Michelin-starred Dining Room, led by Graham Squire, leans into seasonal British produce with a freshly renovated kitchen. Service is footman-formal but genuinely warm, with many staff there for decades.

Who's it for

Best for:
Anglophiles, royalists, and traditionalists who want central London with a dose of pomp and a sense of humour. Couples celebrating something special, design literates who appreciate proper English decor, and, perhaps unexpectedly, families: kids get a Goring Passport, bedtime story library, and kitchen dessert decorating sessions.

Should look elsewhere:
Travellers who find dress codes tiresome should know the evening crowd wears suits and dresses, and The Goring Bar discourages phones and laptops. Anyone seeking minimalist contemporary design, a buzzy scene, or a full spa will find this property too traditional and too small for those ambitions.

Bottom line

What you're paying for here is a properly English experience executed by a family-run house that still cares: the cooking, the footmen, the wallpaper jokes, the pony. Book a Junior Suite or above to unlock the dedicated footman and in-room happy hour, aim for late spring or summer to use the garden and croquet lawn, and dress for dinner.
