The Goring Hotel is a 5-star hotel in London, U.K. It is located near Buckingham Palace. Its restaurant, The Dining Room, holds one Michelin Star.[2]
History
The Goring Hotel was opened by Otto Richard Goring on 2 March 1910 and professed to be the first hotel in the world in which every room had a private bathroom and central heating.[3][4] In 1914, The Goring became the command centre for the Chief of Allied Forces,[citation needed] and contact with President Woodrow Wilson during World War I was made from this hotel.[citation needed] In November 1917 it became the U.S. Army Headquarters in London, as it was adjacent to the American Naval and Military authorities.[5] The hotel was released back to its owners on 8 September 1919.[6]
In 1919, Lady Randolph Churchill, the mother of Winston Churchill, moved into The Goring Hotel.[citation needed] During World War II, Fox Film stayed at the hotel.[citation needed]
The hotel is the only remaining hotel in London that is still owned and run by the family that built it.[3]
In 2011, Kate Middleton and her family were based at the hotel for the days around her wedding to Prince William.[1]
