The Dorchester

I arrived about 9 a.m. and my room wasn't ready, which is understandable. They allowed me to use the nice spa facilities to shower and change for an appointment that morning. By the time I was finished the room was ready, which was nice. The room has antique furnishings a nice large bathroom. The bed was extremely comfortable. The lobby and common area is definitely old world with elaborate decor and architecture. The small parking area out front had some of the most amazing privately owned cars I've ever seen. Great location across the street from Hyde Park but a bit of a walk to catch the tube. I was working a lot during my two days in and outside of London but would have loved to spend more time there. Perhaps another day.

This was our third trip back to The Dorchester and once again it exceeded our expectations. From the warm and professional greeting to that first sighting of the Promenade I literally love everything about this hotel. Breakfast each day is a delight with service so unobtrusive you barely notice it. If only for afternoon tea make sure you give this world class hotel a try. You won't be disappointed!

Lovely food served with flair and elegance. Reasonable portions and good quality bread to add to meal if needed. Be aware of high cost of bottled water which is automatically replaced as used - all of a sudden we had spent 21 pounds on water! After our three course meal we were offered a further small dessert (gratis) which was a nice touch. Elegant decor and excellent service. Free bottles of water in foyer. I nearly got into a chaffeured Rolls Royce parked at the door to finish my experience - I wish! (Check Bookatable for offers)

Our group stayed here on several occasions and found the overall service and amenities excellent. Staff presented as helpful, authentic and professional. Any issues were dealt with immediately. Really impressed by the care and support shown by all staff. A pleasure to stay here. Hyde Park was handy being right next door, and it was an easy walk to the main shopping hub. Highly recommended.

We called here on a Sunday evening for a meal. The restaurant had an elegant feel to it, with deco appearance. The food was beautifully presented & the service impeccable. My husband is still raving about his salmon main course and soufflé dessert now. We found the price quite reasonable for London too. We will certainly be back.
