For a truly regal experience of London, the pedigree of The Goring is difficult to match. Located just steps from Buckingham Palace – perfect for walking out to observe the Changing of the Guard – the hotel holds a Royal Warrant and was selected by Princess Catherine of Wales as the venue to spend the night before her wedding. Despite these high connections, the feel at the hotel is one of understated luxury with genuinely warm and welcoming service. As London’s last family owned 5-star hotel, The Goring prides itself on delivering a truly personalised stay, and this loving attention to detail is evident from the moment you are welcomed across the threshold by the hotel’s iconic, red liveried footmen.
