The
Gore Hotel is situated close to the Royal Albert Hall, a short walk from

facelift, whilst maintaining its award winning Victorian influenced

with the times and are fully air-conditioned ssh! Don't tell everyone.

Kensington (Circle, District and Piccadilly Lines). If you wish the
hotel’s staff will arrange for a car to meet you at the airport and
bring you direct to the hotel. The hotel has been noted for fine food
since the 1950s when, in an atmosphere redolent of 16th century Hampton
Court, 400 people a night dined off suckling pig and syllabub in the
hotel's Elizabethan Rooms.
Today, guests enjoy the delicious food and buzzing atmosphere of Bistrot
190, our upbeat and informal all-day restaurant.
The hotel's world famous candlelit bar attracts an eclectic mix of
fascinating people. Local residents and hotel guests mingle in the warm,
intimate atmosphere of a private house party.
