The Dorchester Hotel, situated on Park Lane with the main entrance facing Tilney Street, is one of the top hotels in the world and achieved legendary status almost from the day it opened in April 1931 for its exceptional facilities, exemplary standards of service and excellent dining experiences.
After a substantial refurbishing Hotel The Dorchester reopened in November 1990, sparkling, refreshed, with superb new facilities including the Oriental Restaurant, the Boardroom Suite and the luxurious new Dorchester Spa. Within a week, our loyal guests had reclaimed their favourite tables in the Grill Room, dined intimately in the Oriental?s private rooms, and clinched the deal in the Boardroom. A few months later the luxurious Spa opened its doors to those keen to have their cares banished by the sympathetic attentions of the spa team. Once again the guests could enjoy the highest standards of service and comfort experienced when The Dorchester Hotel first opened its doors in 1931.
