I took my mother for Afternoon Tea at The Dorchester as a Mother's Day treat. I booked the gift vouchers online at The Dorchester's own website and they arrived the following day. Their service was first class and you can email them with any queries and in my experience they replied very quickly. The Afternoon Tea itself comprised of a... more

The Dorchester is not hip or cool or stylish. It's old fashioned all the way & yet it's wonderful. We had one night there on the 25 May for a treat. It's our second visit. We'd booked a junior suite & were upgraded to a suite which was large & decorated in the elaborate english floral fabric style which works... more

Upon spending £300 for a night here, I was expecting a wonderfully relaxing stay. I knew that wasn't going to happen when a letchy check-in boy from eastern europe showed us to our room and showed us a bedroom, a bathroom and er, is there anything else sir? Urr, no, why, should there be? Okay, it's a bedroom and er,... more

The staff and service here are first class all the way. The rooms are very luxurious. My room overlooked the park. Great location for easy walking if you want. We were treated like royalty. In fact, royalty was actually there at the time. Pricey, but if you can afford it, you can't do much better in London. more

Service in hotels is not what is used to be anywhere in the world. I have stayed at many of the best over the years, and consider the Dorchester up there among the World Class leaders with its World Class prices!!! If you want to visit a poorly run 5* hotel, then walk five hundred meters down Park Lane to... more

What could go wrong did go wrong during our recent stay at The Dorchester. And a previous guest, I can say without qualitifcation that the hotel is not even close to what it used to be. Starting with our arrival at the hotel on foot, the doorman did not even offer to help us with our bags but, rather, pointed... more

My husband and I had our wedding here recently and stayed at the hotel for 3 nights. Even aside from our function (which was great of course) we had a truly fabulous stay in this prestigious hotel. It all started well when we got upgraded from the Junior Suite we had booked to the Mayfair Suite, which was spacious and... more

The Dorchester is famous, one of the Grande Dames of London. Celebrities galore used to stay here, and the hotel has a 5 star rating. The hotel's web site is stunning. The lobby really does look like that. However, in reality, the bedrooms themselves bear little resemblance to the glorious pictures you will see on their website. It is an... more

My family of five (3 children ages 8, 10 and 12) just stayed with the Dorchester for 5 nights. We had interconnecting rooms, one with a king for the parents and one room with three twin beds for the kids. The accomodations were beautiful, spacious, clean. We booked through the hotel directly and paid 275 British pounds per night for... more

The Dorchester, Maybe i have been extremely lucky but when looking for a hotel in London, close to the area where i had to attend a dinner, i came across 'The Dorchester'. Having heard a lot about 'The Dorchester ', they happened to have a promotion in February and could book a single room at £200 (excl taxes, 15%), which... more
