The Dorchester, Art Deco hotel in Mayfair, London, United Kingdom.

The Dorchester spans along Park Lane with a Portland stone facade, featuring 250 bedrooms and suites overlooking Hyde Park and Mayfair gardens.

The Dorchester opened its doors in 1931, becoming a safe refuge during World War II due to its robust concrete construction methods.

Literary figures including Somerset Maugham and Cecil Day-Lewis established The Dorchester as an intellectual meeting point in London during the 1930s.

The hotel maintains five restaurants, including Alain Ducasse's three Michelin-starred establishment and The Grill, serving meals throughout the day.

A plane tree at the edge of the property received recognition as one of the Great Trees of London in 1997.
