A London landmark since the Thirties, the sleek and elegant Dorchester has always been the city’s most fashionable hotel. It is ideally situated to enjoy London life. Or you can wait for London life to come to you. For The Dorchester is where the glitterati come to party. When it opened, it was said that The Dorchester occupied the most prestigious acre and a half of real estate in the world, in the heart of Mayfair, overlooking Hyde Park.
Today the hotel has undergone stunning renovations which add a new vibrancy and it continues to welcome celebrities, world leaders and society with the same gracious style that it has for the past 75 years. This year The Dorchester is embarking on a grand project designed to restore the heart of the hotel and launch a new generation of restaurants.
Rooms of exceptional grace and comfort all give views over Hyde Park or the hotel’s landscaped terraces. Suites range in size from the Junior and Small Suites to the generous Dorchester Suites and the famous Oliver Messel Suite. Large, pampering bathrooms in Italian marble echo the art deco period of the hotel's origins. The Dorchester also excels at providing diners with tables of the finest fare in the most elegant and conducive surroundings. The hotel has grand dining, less formal eating, award winning afternoon teas and a variety of distinctive private dining rooms. All the convivial pleasures are ensured by the most expert service.
