Royal Suite THE GORING

This gracious suite has been thoughtfully decorated by Russell Sage with a mix of bespoke and antique furnishings, and comprises two bedrooms with en suite marble bathrooms, powder room, living room with grand piano and dining room for six. A dedicated footman stands at attention during your stay to whip up a delicious cocktail from the decanter bar that has been stocked to your exact specifications, or to help plan a decadent in-suite dinner. Not just royal in name, the suite contains a collection of regal memorabilia including military regalia and handwritten letters, walls lined in the same silk as the throne room in Buckingham Palace, and safely ensconced behind glass in the bathroom is a life-size portrait of Queen Victoria. The crowning touch is the spacious balcony overlooking London’s rooftops, which is accessible from every room.
