Highlights include The Grill by Tom Booton, showcasing innovative British cuisine, and the iconic Afternoon Tea served in The Promenade — one of the city’s finest. The Dorchester Spa is a haven of marble and tranquillity, featuring top-tier treatments and a glamorous Art Deco design.
While steeped in tradition, The Dorchester moves with the times — balancing historic character with refreshed luxury and impeccable service. From chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royces to candlelit dinners under crystal chandeliers, everything is tailored to create an unforgettable stay.
