Hotel Review
The fourth Mr Goring is now at the helm of this great London family-run institution, opened in 1910. Though tradition and Englishness is at its heart, The Goring always keeps up with the times (it was the first to install en suite bathrooms) but liveried doormen, long-serving staff, private gardens, English dishes and magnificent breakfasts are all at the core of its charm. Kate Middleton chose the Goring to stay in for her and her family the night before her wedding to Prince William - so gaining the hotel instant fame. The room she stayed in, not unnaturally, has been fully booked ever since. Quieter garden-facing rooms are best, and the Silk Rooms designed by Russell Sage. Nina Campbell designed other rooms, and royal designer David Linley created the magnificent dining room.
