Travel + Leisure is the absolute source for all things luxury travel, and therefore it is absolutely lovely to be included in this month’s readers' awards. But The Goring is only ranked as the THIRD best hotel in London, so there is work to do! #TLWorldsBest Travel + Leisure

We are so pleased that Chelsea is back on this year, just down the road. We’ll be serving a very special celebratory afternoon tea and if the sun comes out you can enjoy it in our Goring Gardens. Available for three weeks from 13th September. ow.ly/V0zS50G7GIJ

Negroni Week 2021 is taking place this week & with Seven Hillls Gin, The Goring Cocktail Bar is celebrating with The Negroni Italiano (Grandpa Goring’s favourite) & the Garden Negroni (a freshened up take on the classic). Each one utterly delicious. Do pop by & try them!

Aprons at the ready… the Coupe du Monde de la Patisserie, the World Cup of pastry, takes place this weekend in Lyon. UK team captain is our own pastry star, Chris Seddon. Chris & the team will be up against the very best talent in a bid to bring the title home. Bonne chance!

Many congratulations to our Pastry Chef Chris Seddon: leading Team UK to 4th place in the World Cup of Patisserie in Lyon, the highest place ever for a British team. The intricacy of the design was astonishing; we’re proud of you, Chris and team!

Big John, World’s Top Concierge. We are very proud of this chap, who is the lynch pin of the very special, personal service we aim to give to all our guests.

Every English garden would like an Aussie Alex - hands off, he’s ours! Alex has his work cut out repairing the fall-out from the summer of fun but he’s putting a brave face on. Autumn colours are now bursting out, with flaming acers & radiant red & orange vines starting to turn.

Hallowe’en is a special day here at The Goring, and far too scary to spend alone. That’s why we have designed this two-person cocktail so that you can hold hands and tremble together. Exclusively available at The Goring Cocktail Bar from 24th – 31st October.

On a recent trip to Belgravia, our great friend Nathan Rollinson captured some wonderful pictures of The Goring.  Thank you for visiting – until the next time!

A little Christmas surprise from Fortnum & Mason is coming to The Goring very soon. Stay tuned…

Our friends at Fortnum's have designed two lovely, contrasting Christmas trees for the front hall, to be unveiled quite soon. Tree 1: NAUGHTY Tree 2: NICE Let your imagination run wild! #christmasatthegoring

Here is our Director of Wines, Jean-Baptiste. For JB, every bottle of wine has a story and he is ready to tell it to you avec beaucoup de style et un peu de charme. A bientôt!

Just thought we would start getting you into the spirit.

A very Happy Thanksgiving to all our wonderful American friends!

Sugar and spice and all things nice. That’s what our ‘Nice’ Christmas tree is made of. Look closely, you’ll even find shiny silver spoons amongst the branches.

An invite to tea, a pass for a night away from the kids, a date in The Dining Room – all available to buy from our website and place beneath your tree. thegoring.skchase.com/gifts

The new Goring cocktail list is a journey through time with drinks from the hotel’s history. This cocktail is The Sweeney, dedicated to Peter Sweeney who joined us in 1965 & 56 short years later we are still very lucky to see his smiling face every day. ow.ly/2G6150HaffR

Merry Christmas from everyone at The Goring, complete with a festive whinny from our favourite fluffy resident Teddy the Shetland.

We are absolutely thrilled that The Dining Room has retained its Michelin star! This fantastic achievement is a testament to the brilliance that the whole team create on a daily basis. We very much look forward to welcoming our guests to The Dining Room over the coming year.
