The Goring Hotel

Belgravia, London

Stately and stoic, the stalwart of London’s hotel scene stands as smart as its bowler-hatted footmen. Matured over 108 years, expect understated luxury within its red-brick walls, with 69 suites dashingly dressed in silken walls and sash windows that illuminate the English garden colour palettes. The cosy rooms are matched with impeccable service honed over a century. Downstairs, Nathan Outlaw’s new Siren restaurant flies the flag for Britain’s finest seafood.
