The Goring
London, England
The Goring doesn’t warrant its place on Nights in the Past because of its age - dating back only to 1910 it was built ‘yesterday’ in comparison to some of the others to be found throughout the UK. However, despite its comparative youth it simply must be included on account of the famous figures who have passed through its doors in little over a century.
For example, it was from here that General Pershing would phone President Woodrow Wilson to keep him abreast of America’s effort during World War I. Only a few years later the building would become home to Lady Randolph Churchill (who would receive regular visits from her son, Winston Churchill).
And, of course, Catherine Middleton stayed here prior to her marriage to Prince William on the 29th of April, 2011. History in the making, one might say.
The Goring features 69 rooms and suites (many of which overlook the hotel’s private garden), and, in all cases, the timeless English classic theme is to the fore. In fact, if one were to draw up a list of the world’s most classy hotels, this legendary establishment would almost certainly make it. Five star rated, the hotel is but a short walk from Buckingham Palace and London Victoria railway station.
