The Gore London is a stunning, townhouse hotel with both period charm and a fascinating past. From rock and roll royalty The Rolling Stones selecting the venue for their 1968 albumn launch, to the hotel's distinguished library which has served as a backdrop for many TV interviews, its walls have many stories to tell.
Step inside this historic building and it's a feast for the eyes with rich teal walls, contrasted with faded rose carpeting and huge, gold-gilded paintings everywhere you look. Combine this with a plethora of characterful antique furnishings, over-the-top chandeliers and stained-glass windows and it's easy to see why this establishment has become an institution.
If, like The Rolling Stones, you'd like The Gore to be the setting for your special event, there are several options to choose from. The Tapestry Room is the largest space with enough room for 30 guests when enjoying a sit-down meal, or up to 100 if standing for a drinks reception. Whether you envision one large table down the centre, smaller round tables for different groups, or simply plinths to place a drink on, the space can be reconfigured to your vision. Wooden parquet flooring, panelled walls painted an inky black and huge tapestries make this room an impactful setting.
The Mulberry Room has a similar feel but with a smaller capacity catering for 16 seated and 30 standing. Here, flamboyant red, velvet curtains lift the space, particularly when accented by floral displays in the same hue. The Library Room has a capacity of 22 people seated and 40 when standing and is the perfect spot for an intimate dinner party or must-impress business meeting. The grand mahagony bookcase, ornate fireplace and sash windows reinforce the building's character and look great on pictures, too.
