History
The Goring Hotel was opened by Otto Richard Goring on 2 March 1910 and professed to be the first hotel in the world in which every room had a private bathroom and central heating.[4][5] In 1914, The Goring became the command centre for the Chief of Allied Forces,[6] and contact with President Woodrow Wilson during World War I was made from this hotel.[7] In November 1917 it became the U.S. Army Headquarters in London, as it was adjacent to the American Naval and Military authorities.[8] The hotel was released back to its owners on 8 September 1919.[9]
In 1919, Lady Randolph Churchill, the mother of Winston Churchill, moved into The Goring Hotel.[6] During World War II, the Fox Film crew stayed at the hotel on their way to film footage of the D-Day invasion.[7]
The hotel is the only remaining hotel in London that is still owned and run by the family that built it.
