- If you enjoy afternoon tea for two, Buckingham Palace and complaining about the weather then this quintessentially British weekend is right up your cobbled street.
- ...And it's been given the royal seal of approval - for four days in April 2011, the Goring Hotel became home to family and friends of the Duchess of Cambridge, in preparation for the royal wedding.
- This is your chance to spend two nights at The Goring Hotel, which has just been voted the Top Hotel in Europe by Travel & Leisure Magazine.
"It is delightfully personal, endearingly eccentric and proudly, flagrantly British”
Travel & Leisure magazine
- On arrival, you will be shown to your Deluxe King Room, with views overlooking Victoria Square or Beeston Place.
- Why not have a soak in the luxurious marbled bathroom suite, whilst you contemplate your weekend's activities?
- The Goring is merely a stone's through away from Buckingham Palace (not that we are suggesting anything of the sort) and within walking distance of the Royal parks, or take a trip to the West End and see a show.
- …Or just soak up the ambience in the Goring's bar and relax with your favourite tipple in hand.
"The mattress was soft yet firm, the linen was smooth and the sound
of London outside a soothing rumble. In the morning I was woken by a lot
of clunking china, which turned out to be the arrival of our breakfast on a tray.
The Goring is, indeed, fit for a woman who is marrying a future king the next day."

- Feeling refreshed after a comfortable night's sleep, you can enjoy a full English breakfast on the Terrace, overlooking the beautiful private garden.
- You’ll have no shortage of options for what to do with your weekend break... But, it is up to you to do as much, or as little, as you wish.
- You could treat yourself to fine British cuisine at the Goring restaurant - The Dining Room is renowned for being as stunning as the food served there...
“If you can tear your eyes away from the décor at The Goring, you’ll find
that the resolutely British menu contains masses of native produce…”
The Times
“This is my perfect menu. Just the kind of food I like.”
Elizabeth Hurley
- Or maybe take afternoon tea whilst relaxing in the sunny Terrace, overlooking the gardens... Or (if the weather is being as traditionally British as the Hotel) in the warm and inviting Lounge.
- The Goring has accommodated some of the great and the good since its grand opening in 1910 - including Royalty, Celebrities and Politicians... surely it's only fitting that you should be added to this list!
