The Dorchester, Art Deco hotel in Mayfair, London, United Kingdom.
The Dorchester is an Art Deco hotel that stretches along Park Lane with a Portland stone facade and architectural details reflecting the style of the 1930s. The building houses approximately 250 bedrooms and suites with views overlooking Hyde Park and the Mayfair gardens.
The hotel opened in 1931 and provided refuge to guests during World War II due to its robust concrete construction that withstood wartime challenges. This sturdy building design made it a safe haven during uncertain times.
The place has long served as a meeting point for artists and creative individuals who gathered and exchanged ideas here. This tradition of bringing together people from different backgrounds remains woven into its character today.
The hotel operates multiple dining venues including a three Michelin-starred restaurant by Alain Ducasse and The Grill offering various meal options throughout the day. Its location on Park Lane provides convenient access to major attractions in Mayfair and Hyde Park.
An old plane tree at the edge of the property was recognized as one of the Great Trees of London in 1997. This tree serves as a quiet reminder of London's natural heritage and offers a peaceful contrast to the hotel's refined surroundings.
