Since its opening in 1892, The Gore London has stood as a beacon of quintessentially English elegance and impeccable service in the heart of Kensington. Neighbouring the Royal Albert Hall and just a short stroll from Hyde Park and Kensington Palace, the hotel sits in one of London’s most distinguished royal districts.
Each of The Gore’s 50 rooms and suites is richly decorated to evoke the romance of a bygone era, adorned with antique furnishings, sumptuous textiles, and touches of theatrical flair that speak to the hotel’s storied past.
Bar 190
If walls could talk Bar 190 would have some stories to tell. A home of rock ‘n’ roll history past and present, the bar boasts an impressive legacy with The Rolling Stones having held their Beggars Banquet launch party at the hotel in 1968. Bar 190 remains one of the go-to venues for rock royalty, with the renowned Royal Albert Hall sitting just around the corner.
