About this hotel
The Goring is a long-established independent hotel in London's Belgravia, one of the city's most expensive residential neighbourhoods. The property sits within walking distance of Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park, positioning guests near both major royal landmarks and the West End. Originally opened in 1910, the hotel has remained family-owned across generations, maintaining a traditional English service style that appeals to both leisure and business visitors. The property holds a Forbes Travel Guide award for 2026, reflecting consistent recognition from the travel publishing establishment. Its Belgravia setting draws diplomats, business travellers, and guests attending events in central London, as well as those who prefer established, understated luxury over newer resort-style alternatives.
