Light meals are served throughout the day in the lounge, including the finest of English traditional afternoon teas.

ABOUT THE GORING

Four Gorings have run The Goring since it was opened in 1910, which makes it the oldest family owned hotel in the capital. Deep in the heart of Belgravia, just next to Buckingham Palace, The Goring is within strolling distance of the Royal Parks and the best shops, theatres and galleries in town.   The Goring will celebrate its 100th birthday in 2010 and the interiors are currently being refreshed by some of the country’s finest designers.  There are 71 individually designed, classically English rooms and suites, many overlooking the garden.  The Dining Room is a haven for superbly cooked English food, using British ingredients, and the Bar has been gloriously transformed by designer Tim Gosling, in a theatrical, empire style, with gilded ceilings, swagged curtains and bespoke carpets. 

Above all, The Goring reflects one family’s passion for quality – whose members have prided themselves on providing comfort, good food and drink, and the most attentive service for almost one hundred years.
