The Dorchester is an iconic British hotel. I've stayed in it many times. You can't beat the Mayfair location right across from Hyde Park. The lobby is lovely and a perfect spot for enjoying a cocktail or beautiful English tea. But now with the dollar at an all time low staying at the Dorchester has become prohibitive. That said, I... more

Just came back from a night at the Dorchester. There where no problems whatsoever the staff where so helpful and the hotel and bedrooms are beautiful. It deserves every star it has. more

Spent half term with the family in London. Despite the fact that we arrived dragging our suitcases from the underground,we were warmly welcomed with none of the supposed snobbery suggested by some of the previous reviewers. Two great interconnecting rooms,complimentary champagne and chocolate. Great position for attending shows in the west end,and even paparazzi waiting outside on our return in... more

Used the Penthouse Suite for a private function to celebrate achievements of four outstanding individuals in their field (with partners) and to present them with awards. Simply the best service I have experienced in the UK. The private balcony complete with fountains and views across the iconic London skyline was breath taking.

Largely this hotel delivers in terms of the standards of it's accommodation and amenities and you can read about all of that in detail from numerous reviews elsewhere. However one thing really surprised me on our stay this past Friday. We stayed in room #130 and from 1030pm until 130am there was a pretty... more

I'm very sorry some of the reviewers have had unpleasant experiences with the Dorchester. I've stayed at this hotel 3 times this year, and one time in 2005. I found the hotel fabulous for several reasons: 1. Customer service was attentive and welcoming. At no time (contrary to the perceptions of the critical reviews posted on this website) did I... more
