The Goring

My wife & i spent my 60th birthday at this wonderfull hotel. What makes it do special is the staff truly fantastic & giving me a complementry bottle of champayne with fruit in the room was amazing not to forget the incredible house maids cleaning the rooms. A truly magical place to say & a big thanku to all of you for a wonderfull stay do not hesitate to book this amazing hotel Thankyou so much Mr & Mrs Sainsbury

Once again the Goring delivered its usual excellence. Every staff member made us so welcome, but a special thank you to Andrea in the bar for whom nothing was too much trouble. Looking forward to our next visit.

This was our first time at the Goring hotel , my wife particularly wanted to go because of the links to British royalty and its patronage by senior royals over the years . Arriving at the hotel , in its quiet street location , just around the corner from Buckingham Palace , to be greeted by professional doormen in their liveried coats , who valet the car and whisk you through the room assignment process is a special experience and sets you up for what’s to come . Although it has every right to be stuffy and pretentious given its client history , in reality , the hotel , through its staff , transmits a warm , friendly and accommodating environment . The public areas are as tastefully and elegantly decorated as you’d expect from a 5 star establishment, the bar and lounge area , with live piano music is all you’d expect , and the service , from the moment you walk through the front doors , is exemplary. Our room had crisp linen bedding , air conditioning ,complimentary ,water , fruit and chocolates , with all the attendant en-suite luxury , robes, slippers and Jo Malone toiletries . Breakfast was served in the Michelin starred restaurant and was simply perfect . There are many beautiful top end hotels in London , but for understated and quintessentially British hospitality , I think it would be very hard not to choose The Goring as the benchmark . On departure one of the young ladies even came out to give my wife a parting gift of an Easter egg , it being Easter Sunday ..a real touch of class . We will definitely be back !

The Goring Hotel is incredible. Rahul at the door- a hard worker that I sadly did not have any cash for a tip that he really deserved and was very gracious when I apologised up front. Bad guest! He scored us a taxi in the rain. I feel like dropping off a tip next week when I have time. I took my family for Mothers Day Tea and it was sublime. The service, atmosphere, and food * drink were fantastic. The Goring has such history and charm its a must in London.

We rarely give a 5 star review. If I could give 6 I would. The most beautiful hotel, spotlessly clean, every member of staff attentive and polite, and overall service outstanding. If you want to treat yourself, there’s nowhere better in London in my opinion.
