Located in Belgravia – one of the most exclusive and elegant areas in central London – The Goring is perfectly placed for spectacular sights and style. The iconic walls of Buckingham Palace border the district and nearby Knightsbridge, Mayfair and Sloane Street make for a fashionable stay. The Goring offers stunning yet relaxed dining. Guests and locals are drawn to The Dining Room with its fabulous food celebrating the best seasonal produce and to the chic, lively bar with its sublime collection of signature cocktails, not to mention the hotel’s world-renowned Afternoon Tea.

SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION One Aldwych Welcome to London’s cultured, independent hotel at the beating heart of city life. One Aldwych is one of the very few hotels in London (or indeed the world) that can say it is truly independent. As such, everything is created and curated to delight. Stepping into the lobby of this singularly beautiful building is to step into a moment in history, dressed up in style. Built in 1905 as the home of the Morning Post newspaper, it still inspires spirited conversation and connection. Today, the building’s Art Nouveau curves and stylish flair sit easily with the modern luxuries of this contemporary, forward-thinking hotel. Known as the hotel for Londoners at heart, wherever they might be from, One Aldwych is at the centre of Covent Garden, London’s most exciting neighbourhood. For the curious minded, you have access to the finest entertainment and cultural adventures, with galleries, museums, West End theatres and the famous Royal Opera House on the doorstep. For those in need of rest and retreat, what about being cocooned in the Health Club, or having your favourite drink brought to your favourite corner of The Library, a private sanctuary from the streets. Designed to be more than just a place to lay your head, each suite and bedroom embraces a stylish character that pays homage to the sense of modern, independent Britishness that One Aldwych represents. Think of the resident team as your friends with all the best recommendations for brunch, ballet, boutiques, exhibitions and little-known corners of the city you'll love. Closer to home, enjoy the time-honoured British tradition of afternoon tea served on the mezzanine or with a magical Charlie and the Chocolate Factory twist. Later there’s dinner in Indigo, a restaurant celebrating British independent producers before lingering a little longer with drinks in the vivacious Lobby Bar. 1 Aldwych, London WC2B 4BZ T: +44 (0) 20 7300 1000 onealdwych.com
