Reviews:

"My husband and I stayed at The Dorchester Hotel February 24-27, 2005. We had wonderful experiences each day. The staff was totally helpful...making us feel like very special guests indeed! No request was denied. The food (especially the breakfast) was excellent. We especially loved the bar....music, interesting people-watching and great drinks! We stayed in the deluxe King

room and we impressed with the fabulous linens, etc. The location in Mayfair is perfect for walking everywhere. Beautiful Hyde Park is right across the street and the flowers are beginning to bloom!"

"It was with high expectations that I returned to the Dorchester and I was delighted to find the hotel was as magnificent as I remembered. Check in was swift and efficient and my large bedroom was decorated with an attractive pale yellow chintz. The bathroom was enormous with two windows and a seperate deep tub and glass enclosed shower. The bathroom amenties were all by Floris of London and were only lightly scented. Service at the hotel is refined and welcoming. The concierge staff were excellent and most efficient--the spa staff was very friendly. Dinner at the Dorchester Grill was superb. The dining room is lovely and grand in a Spanish Style and the food is traditional with excellent presentation and service. The Dorchester's location is very good--walking distance to the shops of Mayfair and Bond Street and both Harrods and Harvey Nichols are a plesant 15 minute stroll around Hyde Park. I would not hesitate to return to this fine hotel on my next visit to London."

The Dorchester, one of the top hotels in the world, achieved legendary status almost from the day it opened in April 1931 for its exceptional facilities, exemplary standards of service and excellent dining experiences. For almost seventy years, The Dorchester has rightfully claimed its place as one of the very best hotels in London, if not the world. Luxurious, opulent, friendly, stylish, exclusive are all words that describe this legendary hotel. Located majestically overlooking London Hyde Park, The Dorchester offers something for everyone.

Quite the opposite of minimalist, The Dorchester's bedrooms evoke the traditional style and comfort of an English Country house, with the emphasis placed on sumptuous comfort and cosiness. With a ratio of almost three staff to each bedroom, The Dorchesters guests are assured the highest level of personal care and attention, 24 hours a day.
No two rooms have the same design or decorative scheme. They are decorated in a cosy, comfortable Georgian Country House style, characterised by the generous use of the highest quality , exclusive fabrics from Gainsborough, Percheron and Lelievre, hand mixed paint colours, original prints and oils and antique and reproduction furniture. Certain rooms have been designated for non-smokers, others for the special needs of guests with disabilities. Bathrooms throughout The Dorchester are fitted with Italian marble, etched glass and chrome fittings to recall the sleek style of the buildings Thirties origins. Stylishly lit, most bathrooms also enjoy natural daylight and the deepest baths in London!
There are 53 suites, each one individual. Original wooden panelling, a generous use of the highest quality, exclusive fabrics, a wealth of pictures and accessories, fine antiques add up to a decadent experience. From the Art Deco Junior Suites to the ample proportions of The Dorchester Suites with their huge sitting/dining rooms overlooking Hyde Park, there is something for everyone.
London is now undeniably one of the eating capitals of the world and a stay in London would not be complete without an exploration of the vibrant restaurant scene. Of course, you should start at The Dorchester itself! The Promenade is the focal point of The Dorchester, its glorious pillared sweep makes an ideal vantage point from which to sink into a deep, soft sofa and watch the world go by as a pianist plays during afternoon tea. The Grill Room's menu celebrates British cooking at its best. Wonderful, fresh ingredients from around the British Isles include succulent Scottish beef, Sweet Welsh lamb and Firm-fleshed wild salmon from the Severn and the Dee. The much lauded Oriental Restaurant is no ordinary Chinese restaurant. It is not just the quality of the food that excels, nor the depth of the wine list. As you enter The Oriental Restaurant, you are transported to another continent, rich in colour and jewel-bright, walls hung with antique silks and embroidered hangings with many of the ingredients specially flown in from Hong Kong. London has many excellent pubs, but very few good bars, and The Dorchester Bar is one of that select handful. The décor is cheerfully eccentric with hand-made Provençale tiled picture panels and dominated by the late Liberace's glass and rhinestone baby grand piano. The menu is equally exuberant, featuring a colourful antipasti buffet at lunchtime and a wide range of risottos and homemade pastas on an à la carte menu of Italian specialities complemented by the finest Italian wines. In the evening, The Bar becomes a relaxed and intimate jazz venue, where the barmen continue The Dorchester traditional of mixing seductively powerful cocktails.
