On Queen’s Gate, a few doors from the Royal Albert Hall, The Gore has been welcoming guests since 1892. The mood is steeped in character: wood panelling, oil paintings, and period furnishings define its salons and dining rooms. Each of the bedrooms is individually styled, some with four-poster beds or heavy drapery, maintaining the sense of Victorian townhouse elegance. The bar, with its leather banquettes and dark-wood detailing, feels like a corner of old London preserved.

The hotel’s proximity to Hyde Park, the museums of South Kensington, and Kensington Gardens makes it a cultural anchor point, while service remains quietly attentive. Rather than polished minimalism, The Gore offers atmosphere—rooms with quirks and history, public spaces rich with texture. It is a choice for those who prefer a storied stay to a streamlined one.
