Eye on Travel

Peter Greenberg Worldwide–The Goring, London–November 7, 2015

Locations in this article:  London, England

goring 5This week, the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show broadcasts from one of Peter’s favorite hotels in London—The Goring. You might remember The Goring as the hotel where Kate Middleton spent the night before marrying Prince William. Travelers don’t just stay at The Goring. They have a relationship with the hotel. In fact, The Goring is London’s last remaining family owned and run luxury hotel. In addition to great accommodations, the hotel also excels in the food department, not to mention a legendary and singularly exemplary dish: their signature lobster omelet. And the hotel is not without a delightful sense of humor. Imagine the wallpaper in the lobby—look closely and you’ll see it depicts famous characters in history as jungle animals.

Even the light switches in guest rooms are not only practical, but will make you laugh, with four separate buttons: bright,medium, low, and….ooh. Joining the show will be Travel Editor of Vanity Fair Victoria Mather to talk about the royal family’s enduring link to the hotel, Editor-in-Chief of Travel Weekly Arnie Weissmann to tackle the possibly revolutionary changes in tipping practices around the world, and Editor-at-Large for Conde Nast Traveler Steve King. Simon Calder of The Independent stops by to give his take on the good, bad and ugly of airport design. There’s all this and more as the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show broadcasts from The Goring in London.
