PB hotel design editorial

Facing Hyde Park from the eastern edge of Park Lane, where the treeline of one of London's great royal parks frames the view west, the building that became The Dorchester was designed by William Curtis Green and completed in 1931 — a reinforced concrete structure clad in pale reconstituted stone, its symmetrical facade and projecting cornice giving it the composed authority of an Edwardian palace arrived slightly late to its own era. Across its 250 rooms and suites, the interiors carry the layered quality of a property that has been decorated and redecorated by successive hands rather than conceived as a single design statement, with the traditional register of the guest rooms — camel and champagne damask curtains, lacquered chinoiserie chests, gilt-framed mirrors doubling the light from Park Lane — sitting comfortably alongside newer interventions. The most striking of those interventions is the Bar, redesigned by Thierry Despont with a hammered bronze ceiling, curved banquettes in teal velvet, serpentine patterned carpet, and emerald bar stools at a backlit brass counter — an atmosphere closer to a Parisian boîte of the 1930s than anything conventionally British. The fine dining room housing Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester takes a cooler position, its oak-panelled walls and fibre-optic curtain centrepiece framing tables set with softly upholstered grey armchairs, the whole room pitched at a considered calm that lets the cooking carry the drama.

"A fabulous Afternoon Tea to celebrate a special birthday. The sandwiches, cakes and scones were all delicious, with impeccable service from our waiter Anuar. He was a star😃."

"It is my first time I come back to the Dorchester after the renovation .I used to stay here long time ago and was pleasant stay with perfect service specially during the breakfast time .The interiors are fabulous and sitting area for the afternoon tea is fantastic .we ordered the Wimbledon afternoon tea .The waitress who was serving us was so awful and didn’t reach the standards of the dorchester .I asked her about the teas and she told me see by myself in the menu.I asked her about their signature teas and what each one consisted but she answered with an upset face .She brought the sandwiches without plates to eat and she didn’t explain what exactly the sandwiches .she keeps the dirty cups and plates and not taking them as long we don’t tell her .The waitress totally ruined our experience and I think the Dorchester should go back to their older staff ."

"We had a lovely experience at the Dorchester for afternoon tea! Anuar was a great host and made us laugh throughout our time. The only thing we’d say is that we’ve had better sandwiches but the scones were divine!"

"It’s my first time having the afternoon tea at The Dorchester. It’s a beautiful place. It’s offer numerous tea selection with live piano performance. The vibe is elegant and yet causal and friendly. Their services are friendly and yet professional. Would like to send our appreciation to Anwar, who services are excellent and make us feel so comfortable and welcome!"

"What a spectacular experience the Dorchester is. It was such a joy to be reminded of what London is like at its best. The room was so beautiful - bright, uplifting and very spacious. Almost too good - you don’t want to leave. It really is an incredibly beautiful hotel - the service is exceptional. Nothing is too much trouble - very professional. The function I attended in the ballroom was beautifully done. I rarely leave a hotel thinking it was good value and invariably something has irritated me but going to the Dorchester was like going back in time where service is impeccable and the guest is made to feel special. Melissa on front desk has exceptional customer service skills - efficient and resourceful I loved this hotel - I’ve stayed at a couple of others in the Dorchester Collection but this one really is the jewel in his crown as far as luxury and service go."
