The Goring Review

With Buckingham Palace just around the corner, this hotel, built in 1910 and now run by third-generation Gorings, has always been a favorite among discreet VIPs—including Kate Middleton's family on the night before the royal wedding. It's popular for its Edwardian style: the striped wallpapers, floral curtains, patterned carpets, and brass fittings that make it luxurious and welcoming at the same time.

    The perfect English London hotel

    The Goring is now in it's fourth generation of the Goring family running the show. It's still excellent. Some of the rooms are smallish (as are the bathrooms), but the bar, restaurant and service are all first class. The full English breakfast is one of the best anywhere! Great concierge got us into a fully booked restaurant. We got a heavily discounted rate through lastminute.com. Will definitely stay there again. Very handy for Knightsbridge area for shopping.
