"Still run by the family that opened it in 1910, this "elegant property very much like a private English home" is adjacent to Buckingham Palace."

"With Buckingham Palace just around the corner, this hotel, built in 1910 and now run by third-generation Gorings, has always been a favorite among discreet VIPs."
