The Goring
The only hotel ever granted a royal warrant — fourth-generation family-owned in Belgravia, and the address that hosted Catherine Middleton the night before the wedding.
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed May 2026
The Goring opened in 1910 and is still owned and run by the founding family, four generations on — the last family-owned five-star hotel in London. It is the only hotel ever granted a royal warrant, held under Queen Elizabeth II from 2013 onward, and it is where Catherine Middleton stayed the night before her 2011 wedding. The Dining Room by Stuart Tattersall holds a Michelin star; the garden is the only proper hotel garden in central London. The choice for the audience that wants the most unbroken thread of Britishness still intact in W1 — it is what Claridge's once was, before Claridge's went global.
Editor's Tip
Book the Royal Suite or a garden-facing Belgravia Room — the Buckingham Palace-side rooms hear traffic. Afternoon tea in the Veranda is the version of the ritual that Britons themselves still use; the Dining Room dinner is quieter and more interesting than the Michelin star suggests. Walk-in Bar by Russell Sage is small and worth one cocktail.
