OUR SAY
Victorian Kensington character with a famously atmospheric bar and an easy pre-theatre rhythm near the Albert Hall. Perfect for travellers who want heritage mood with excellent on-site bar and dining options.
We love this property’s unapologetic sense of place. It’s not trying to be contemporary, it’s trying to be memorable, and it succeeds. For the right traveller, it turns a simple London trip into something that feels like a story.

Tell Me More About This Hotel
The Gore is a 4-star hotel located in London, England
Established in 1892, The Gore leans into the romance of a London hotel that has hosted stories for generations. Expect rich colours, antiques, and rooms that feel individual rather than standardised, with a mood that suits late nights and slow mornings. The location is a gift if you’re doing the Royal Albert Hall, museums or Hyde Park, because you can dress up, step out, and be there in minutes. Back at the hotel, Bar 190 is the real draw, equal parts history and mischief, and the restaurant gives you a reliable option when you want to keep the evening close to home. It’s the sort of hotel that encourages dressing up for dinner, even if you’re only going downstairs for a cocktail.
