As Samuel Johnson once said, “When a man is tired<br />
of London, he is tired of life.” Thankfully, there<br />
are plenty of properties around the city – from<br />
luxurious grand dames to charming boutiques –<br />
to help prevent that from happening. Even better,<br />
some of these hotels have hosted royalty, and are<br />
close to bucket-list attractions like Buckingham Palace and<br />
Big Ben, so you know they’re worth their salt. To help you<br />
map out your holiday, we rounded up our favorite hotel in<br />
ten popular London neighborhoods.<br />
THE GORING,<br />
BELGRAVIA, WESTMINSTER<br />
Let’s not bury the lede: This Westminster property<br />
is where Kate Middleton spent the night before her<br />
wedding to Prince William. The Goring hotel, which<br />
opened in 1910 just down the road from Buckingham<br />
Palace, has a longstanding legacy with the royal family,<br />
and you, too, can live out your fairy-tale fantasies<br />
here. Book a stay and take advantage of the five-star<br />
hospitality and luxurious details, including bespoke silk<br />
wallpaper, an antique elevator and spacious hallways<br />
(said to have been designed to accommodate ladies’<br />
voluminous gowns). Quintessentially British, it’s all a<br />
“Downton Abbey” dream come true.<br />
