The Gore has a heritage of hospitality that dates back to the 1800's and which in recent years become the blueprint for the boutique hotel phenomenon. Here the environment is relaxed and personable, slightly eccentric but with a history oozing to be shared with its confidantes. The hotel has built a reputation for discretion and informality - with a treasure trove of antiquities that is far removed from the ambiguities of modern chain hotels.

A recent refurbishment has seen the bedrooms at the hotel reconfigured, affording guests larger rooms. The painstaking programme has carefully married the opulence of Victorian craftsmanship with cutting edge technology. From oak mahogany and half-tester beds, including the lavish gilt-wood bed that once belonged to Judy Garland, all guests are assured of a unique sleeping experience.

It's not just the bedrooms that are full of personality and intrigue - acclaimed Bar 190 and Bistrot 190 set the pace for Kensington's social scene. With an atmosphere reminiscent of a private members' club, the bar exudes subtle sophistication and is a haven for both locals and London's cocktail crowd. Produce sourced from the UK's finest farms headline the menu in the delightful Bistrot, featuring delights such as Welsh goats cheese, air-cured Cumbrian ham and Portloe crab.
