What’s the deal?

For almost 100 years, The Dorchester has stood on the doorstep of Hyde Park, occupying one of the most famous and luxurious addresses in London. And now it’s been transformed. Over the last 18 months, it has undergone an extensive reimagination that has injected a whole new feel to the hotel: contemporary, open and at times whimsical, while maintaining its heritage Mayfair character.

The Promenade is at the heart of this new vision, playing the role of dining destination and gateway to the hotel’s enviable list of outlets, including Alain Ducasse, China Tang, The Grill by Tom Booton and Vesper Bar (the Vesper Martini is the perfect pre-dinner tonic). The rooms have been given a similarly contemporary makeover, marrying tradition, glamour and modernity with playful art and design to bring them an extra touch of eccentric personality.

Why stay?

It’s still The Dorchester – but it’s now arrived in 2023.
