Introduction
One of London's most
popular privately run hotels, The Gore first opened its doors in 1892
as an annexe to the neighbouring Queen's Gate Mansions Hotel. The two
establishments were linked by a tunnel under Bremner Road. When the other
end became the Bulgarian Embassy, these arrangements were hastily revised.
The Gore offers old fashioned comfort with up-to-date facilities and is
justly famous for its mellow surroundings and intelligent, friendly staff.
Location
The Gore is to be found
in a tree-lined avenue between Harrods and Kensington Palace. Dominating
this part of London are Kensington Gardens and the adjoining Hyde Park,
nearly 400 unspoilt acres ideal for jogging, riding, boating, tennis and
swimming. An encounter with Peter Pan cannot be guaranteed, but children
still sail their model yachts on the Round Pond, exactly as they did in
J.M.Barrie's day.
Bedrooms
Victorians felt at home
in these surroundings, rich in mahogany and walnut, with walls covered
in antique pictures and stained-glass windows, floors in Oriental rugs.
The Tudor Room even features a gallery and a fireplace.
Restaurants
The Bistrot is The Gore's restaurant, a place of taste and tastes that
has attracted high praise from food critics. 'The Bistrot is putting back
all those flavours which nouvelle cuisiniers so carefully took out,' said
the Independent on Sunday, for instance.
