The gown - believed to be a prototype of Queen Victoria's bridal outfit - was in a glass-fronted wardrobe next to Kate's four-poster bed.
The Sun revealed on Friday that Kate, 29, would stay in the five-room royal suite at London's Goring Hotel following a ?150,000 revamp.
And we told how designers had packed it with ornaments, hand-made furniture and antiques including the dress.
But last night a source at the hotel said: "The general manager nearly had a fit after seeing the gown in Kate's room.
"Let's just say it won't be there when Kate checks in. Hopefully now she will be able to sleep sounder."
Kate will stay in the hotel with her mother and sister before her Westminster Abbey wedding to Prince William on April 29.
The Queen said she could take an apartment at nearby Buckingham Palace, but Kate is understood to have been keen on a "neutral environment".
Wills, 28, is expected to spend the night with best man Prince Harry at their apartment in St James's Palace.
Meanwhile PM David Cameron said it would "take some time" to scrap 300-year-old royal succession rules which give preference to male heirs.
But he added: "If Prince William and Catherine Middleton were to have a daughter as their first child, I think most people would think it is perfectly fair and normal that she would eventually become Queen."
LONDON Tube Oyster card tickets with images of Wills and Kate go on sale this week.
