Conceived in the 1930s as a high-end hotel that would rank as the finest in Europe, The Dorchester in London retains this standard to this very day. This lavish London landmark is known for its typically English residential façade festooned with wrought-iron balconies, but it’s the hotel interior that really impresses.
Besides containing 250 of the most decadent rooms and suites in London, it is also home to a wealth of fine dining and drinking options — including an acclaimed restaurant by Alain Ducasse, the recently reimagined The Grill at The Dorchester and the gorgeously art-deco inspired China Tang — and one of the country’s most sumptuous spas. With all this and more besides, The Dorchester gracefully maintains its position as one of the finest hotels in Europe.
