London Hotel Goring

2 ~~~ This London Hotel Is the Royal Family's Favorite Home Away From Home


The British monarch doesn't play favorites — except when it comes to London hotels.

There are certain honors in the hotel world that are justifiably hard to garner:
that elusive fifth star, for example, or a Michelin nod for your in-house restaurant.

But in the U.K., there is one award above all others that is a guarantee of utmost excellence: the Royal Warrant.
And currently, there is just one holder.

The Goring hotel, sitting on a leafy side street in the shadow of Buckingham Palace,
has been the royal family's favorite property for decades.

The Queen is believed to hold her annual Christmas lunch here — in the Michelin-starred dining room designed by her nephew, Viscount Linley —
while her mother was a regular in the same spot (the Queen Mother always had the same dish:
eggs Drumkilbo, a delicious lobster and egg combination that is still on the menu today).

When it came to choosing a hotel for the night before her 2011 wedding to Prince William, Kate Middleton opted for the Goring,
too (she even hand-painted part of a mural on the ground floor).
The Duchess of Cambridge has been back plenty of times since with her husband,
while her brother and sister-in-law, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have been guests as well.
