The Goring was everything we expected from a traditional family-owned hotel in the middle of London: warm, friendly and service-oriented. We were greeted with a smile and escorted to our garden-view Junior Suite, only to head downstairs again for the delicious afternoon tea, served overlooking the garden. We had such a peaceful night's sleep here - you would never guess you're so close to Victoria Station and Buckingham Palace. Don't miss the fabulous English lunch in the newly renovated dining room (designed by Lord Linley) - make reservations in advance!

A quiet haven in the centre of London, The Goring is ideally located, adjacent to Buckingham Palace and within walking distance of the Royal parks, London's principal shopping areas and the heart of the West End and Theatreland, The Houses of Parliament and Westminster are close by, and we are a mere five minutes walk from direct rail links to Gatwick and Heathrow Airports.

Each of the sixty seven bedrooms and seven suits are individually designed and decorated. They are luxuriously appointed, spotlessly maintained and all have air conditioning. Room service is available twenty-four hours a day, with valeting and evening maid service. Direct fax lines are available in deluxe rooms and suites and all rooms have internet connection and ISDN lines. Many of the rooms overlook our private garden.

Acclaimed as one of the best in London by such renowned guides as Egon Ronay, Good Hotel, the AA and RAC, Michelin and Star Service, the Goring restaurant's traditional style and convenient location make it a perfect venue for that special luncheon or dinner. For the evenings, the lights are lowered and the atmosphere becomes more intimate as our pianist plays gently at the entrance to the room. Relax over a pot of coffee in our elegant Garden Lounge, or enjoy the delight of warm scones and clotted cream with a traditional English afternoon tea. The Garden Bar is the ideal venue for meeting friends or business associates to enjoy a glass of champagne. Overlooking the beautiful Goring garden, our new Garden Bar Terrace is the ideal venue for light meals and afternoon tea.

The concierge, with over twenty years service at the Goring, will respond to every request with discretion and expertise. Guests also enjoy free membership of the superbly equipped local health club - just a short stroll from our door - throughout their stay.

Awards for the Goring include AA Hotel Guide 2003 - 5 Red Stars (awarded to only 15 hotels in London) and AA Best Restaurant 2003 - 2 Rosettes.
